Pinnick keeps treating our women's team with no regard.

Just watched a disturbing video of a disgruntled and frustrated Nigerian abusing and harrassing some SF players being conveyed on a bus in Austria. How they allowed someone to get close to them without any security is a real shame. From the look of the video it seems they were using public transport SMH!

Annoyingly disturbing


Like wtf?


So because Buhari is use.less these young gyals should stop representing their country?

Alhassan Yusuf will be one of several new signings who will be expected to make immediate impact at ambitious Belgian club Royal Antwerp, according to a special report by Voetbalnieuws.be

With the exception of one strange incoming transfer, Royal Antwerp FC have launched a major transfer offensive in the current summer transfer window.

Jelle Bataille (KV Oostende), Björn Engels (Aston Villa), Michael Frey (Fenerbahçe) and Michel-Ange Balikwisha (Standard) are all players who can make a direct impact, while the expected sporting added value of Dinis Almeida (Lokomotiv Plovdiv) rather raises big questions.

But the transfer drive of the highly ambitious Antwerp FC has still not ended.

Antwerp FC have picked up again with the arrival of Alhassan Yusuf, a 20-year-old central midfielder from IFK Göteborg.

The Antwerp team had been looking for a replacement for the recently departed strongman Martin Hongla (Hellas Verona/Italy) for quite some time and they found him in Sweden.

Yusuf played at Gothenburg mainly as a dynamic midfielder and in addition, the talented Nigerian can also play as a number six.

ANDERLECHT AND FC BARCELONA

In the summer of 2019, the then 18-year-old Alhassan Yusuf was already high on the wish list of RSC Anderlecht. With a delay of two years, the talented midfielder will still appear in the Jupiler Pro League, although it is now at Antwerp FC.


Alhassan Yusuf (right) proud cup winner in Sweden last year
In 2019 Yusuf was in balance at Anderlecht with Brecht Dejaegere, who was forced to the exit at AA Gent at the time because he was unable to convince Jess Thorup. In the end, both Yusuf and Dejaegere did not make the switch to the Lotto Park.

RSC Anderlecht were certainly not the only club that showed serious interest in Alhassan Yusuf in the summer of 2019.

Various national and international media also reported the interest of, among others, Sheffield United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, FC Copenhagen and Feyenoord.

Some time ago, when Yusuf was still a teenager, the names of Ajax and FC Barcelona were even mentioned. So it must be that the Nigerian has a few things to offer.

Alhassan Yusuf eventually stayed on board at IFK Göteborg, where in 2019 – after less than two years at the highest level of football – he was named Sweden’s Young Player of the Year. He was picked ahead of Benjamin Nygren (KRC Genk, ex-IFK Göteborg) and Odilon Kossounou (Club Brugge, ex-Hammarby) in that order.



Meanwhile, Yusuf already has 77 official matches for the Swedish top club and that experience ensured that the Nigerian continued to develop at lightning speed.

THE NEW SIDE

“He is a ball winner and a genius too”, Olle Sultan, head scout at IFK Göteborg, already praised Alhassan Yusuf in the Swedish press.

“He still has a few things to learn, but he can become really good. His development is quite impressive and I have always believed in him. He has learned to be less naïve.”


Yusuf – Left a great impression at IFK Goteborg
So, it has been clear for some time that Yusuf was ready to push to a more highly regarded football competition.

For a long time, it looked like the next step in Alhassan Yusuf’s career would be in England. He has attracted the attention of Sheffield United and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the past, but in recent weeks Yusuf has also been on the radar of Brentford and Leicester City.

The Nigerian has also been described by various media, with a slight sense of exaggeration of course, as ‘the new Ngolo Kanté’.

Yusuf also stated in the Swedish press that he dreams of one day playing in the Premier League.

PLACES GET EXPENSIVE

At the age of 20 it is obviously very difficult, if not impossible, to make a direct impact in the intensive and demanding Premier League. That is why Alhassan Yusuf first takes a sensible intermediate step at Antwerp FC, where he can play himself even more to interest the clubs from the Premier League.

To force his departure from IFK Göteborg, Yusuf even changed agents. He left the renowned players’ agent Patrick Mörk and had his interests looked after by the Stellar Group, which not coincidentally has a large clientele in the Premier League and therefore also good connections with the clubs there.

It is now up to Alhassan Yusuf to effectively realise all the good things that are written and told about him at Antwerp FC.

Depending on the tactical nuances and emphasis of the new coach Brian Priske, the Nigerian will have to compete with Birger Verstraete, Frank Boya, Faris Haroun, Alexis De Sart and Pieter Gerkens.



The signing of Yusuf will in any case heighten the competition in Antwerp’s central midfield and perhaps even take him to a higher level.

i still remember when this guy went for the tourney in sweden with tiki taka, My friend that was part of the team then couldnt stop talking about him... look at him now... TALENT NO DEY HIDE

Samueltemi337:
Osimhen scores

Water is wet

drDoom3:
You don't put that kind of responsibility on a teenager. We saw it with Mbappe earlier. There are some times that you just have to do tested and trusted.

Who are the "Tested and Trusted?"

Sterling will disappoint you.

Harry Kane shouldn't have gone first.. that was the mistake

Rashford

Sancho


Saka


All guys of mixed race

Make Dem no just log into their social media accounts

daveP:
I tell you. They are doing what Spain will do with TikiTaka+Unmatched Energy.

My my. SE will get there soon.

Super Eagles keh


With Ndidi and Etebo in midfield, we can't play the tikitaka bros

If Italy can keep the ball this well against England


Imagine what Spain would have done


PS: How is Mount an AM?

This Italian Team is Gold


Chiesa is my Player of the Tournament

andrewbaba44:
Many are not fan of etebo here ,but he is not that bad as they do say

Gala and getafe can’t afford etebo wages nor the transfer fees ,he didn’t do that bad at those 2 clubs neither he was top of his game there

People rate epl and Laliga seria A here but they are still refusing to rate etebo

Etebo might be a carpenter due to his style ,but there are also many carpenters out there like Danilo Perriera of psg William carvalho of Betis and co who are playing for top and decent teams

Let me see if the watford transfer will work out

Is there a bigger carpenter than Fred?


Yet he starts for Man United and Brazil

Meliforme:
Do you need religion to inform you that desiring that which belongs to another is evil.

We should develop a mentality that encourages building values for mutual benefits,
not thinking of ways to exploit one another owing to greed infested motives.

I don't mean to poke into something that is not my business but I think you taking this too far


He isn't stealing or cunning anyone

Imo, he is investing in a venture e hopes will bring in returns


It might be hight risked, but it's same thing as buying stock, or investing in crpto or even going to school


It's all a gamble

not with an arsenal Jersey bros... even spoon we no go win

LoverOfEvil:
This is super eagles
best formation ever


we can win the World Cup
with this formation

andrewbaba44:
Don’t mind me jare

Someone also just reminded me of Rooney

Maybe I should have said midfielders in general

Am always open for corrections jare

How could I even forgot Pelé and mbappe so easily

you also forgot our very own Stanley okoro

TheSuperNerd:
I just need to put this out there. My best Spanish Player at this Euros (and one of my best 3 young players of the entire Tournament) is undoubtedly Pedri. No goals, no assists, no shots on target and no shots overall but you could see his Impact.

He even contributed to an own goal but that doesn't dent the boy's shine.

Football is not limited to goals + assists only. Or how many shots you had. There are other parameters to always observe.
Like, Pedri completed all his passes during the normal duration vs Italy in the Semis.

Pedri after 90 minutes against Italy for Spain:
▶️55 passes attempted
▶️55 passes completed

100% passing accuracy.


Pedri after extra time against Italy:
▶️67 passes attempted
▶️65 passes completed

97% passing accuracy.

Created chances and showed control + maturity on one of the biggest stages of international football from the first round to the semis.


Pedri's entire Euros stats:

▶️6 games played (all full games)
▶️91% pass accuracy
▶️544 touches
▶️421 passes completed
▶️25 ball recoveries
▶️25 duels won
▶️13 fouls won
▶️11 chances created
▶️7 tackles
▶️4 interceptions
▶️3 take-ons
▶️3 big chances created

Just 18 and already a masterclass midfield dictator. A lad I have carefully followed since the U-17 WC in 2019 where our own Amoo and Tijani starred in as well.

There is practically no kind of pass that kid cannot give. A baller who could go on and become a real monster of a midfielder in his own rights.

Even the great Iniesta wasn't this good at 18 in a major tournament.
Yep, the Spanish coach, Luis Enrique said this much and I concur.

In Pedri, Spain have another midfield master on the rise. A bonafide Midfield baller. Remember the name.... Pedro Gonzalez Lopez AKA Pedri.

The finest of the Pass-Pass-and-inshallah lads at this Euros.

One for the present and future of Spanish football when we talking the middle game of the Beautiful game.

I always pray for naija players transfer to work out but I don’t like dem say transfer

The way Dennis take join watford without much speculation Na Wetin I Dey like

Still hoping for the best

Is it confirmed that onyeka has finally joined brentford ?

Nothing yet oh


I still dey refresh Fabrizio page... Goal. Com and the likes, even Brentford Main page.. nothing to see there


I just hope it works


I don't like the rumors.. Naso DENNIS "transfer" to more than 20 different clubs last summer

Iwobi to as Roma

Paul O. To west ham

K. Nwakali to Leeds/Watford

Ndidi to man United


Una go just go carry transfer rumors from sporting life come dey dump am for here without credible links


Make una mind unaself

BascoVanVeli:
Same Oron road people that u have to remind
people that Ekong is from Akwa Ibom. I can vouch that people don't act like that there. The people talking like that are at plaza arguing with newspapers.

My Oron Rd guys know them sport too


I know you get my point though

BascoVanVeli:
Like I said how do you know the club have not reached their own side of the deal? I ask because Samuel was just bought out of contract from heartland FC so they (Katsina) definitely have his rights.

If he is going to Spain he isn't a home based player again na. The real story is that he is going to Spain straight from the NPFL.

Wish him well

BascoVanVeli:
We all know this but some just don't want to criticize the almighty NFF. Mexico also played matches like us but they are still using their foreign based guys.

This just shows how Nigerians feel about the local league. U are willing to destroy the competition for nothing. Tell me where it is okay for a league leading team to give out their best defender, midfielder and striker in the middle of the biggest run of the season? While the teams below them are basically intact.

You make a solid point


But then, just flip the coin


There will still be uproar from some corners

Some guys from Oron Rd will sit behind their phones and still shout Marginalization, Favoritism, nepotism and every other big word in the dictionary




It is what it is

BascoVanVeli:
First off he walked away from the national team not his club. Plus how do you know that his club is not involved? Then again players always leave their national teams to complete deals so there is absolutely nothing to see here.

Just seeking clarification



I thought an Agreement is reached with a clubside first, before a player is allowed to negotiate a deal


Also, Most times Representatives are sent to the camp to complete such deals, why most he walk away for that to happen?


And also do we have like a transfer window in the league or something?
