Time will tell.

Thanks bro, you are a real asset here

elyte89:
Its not genuine den

lol

TheSuperNerd:
Tolu is not a striker that will entertain you much with fancy legwork or skills but he is a cold blooded finisher. A very good goal poacher.

He is your targetman kind of striker like a Giroud for instance and does have the ability to turn quickly in the box and poke one in. Hold up play is decent and uses his massive size pretty good in duels. His aerial prowess is also very good as he scored a couple of headers taking advantage of his super height of 1.97m.

He really bullied the Defenders in Latvia and also got the better of Dele Alampasu when he came up against Dele. They had no answer to his size mixed with a deceptive form of quickness.

hmmmmm, I wish him all the best. You know Koln won't create much chances I hope he'll be able to bury the little he will get

Tolu Arokodare will dorn the #7 Jersey for FC Koln this new Bundesliga season

I want to believe you've seen him play, what is his style of play? Osimhen/Dzeko style? Koller/Onuachu style? Or the Giroud/Sodiq style of play?

Leicester City target ‘The New Kante’ Alhassan Yusuf to replace Ndidi


Score Nigeria Editor by Score Nigeria Editor September 18, 2020 8:04 pm


The much talked about energetic displays of Alhassan Yusuf in the heart of the IFK Goteborg have caught the eye of Leicester City, who are now interested in signing him as ‘The New Kante’ and a replacement for compatriot Wilfred Ndidi.

“Leicester City have contacted with IFK Goteborg for long-term Wolves target Alhassan Yusuf Abdullahi,” reported Sqenf Foot



“The 20-year-old Nigerian talent can play as DM, CM and RW.”



Ngolo Kante made his name in the Premier League championship-winning Leicester City side before he headed off to Chelsea.

Wilfred Ndidi has since come in to make the defensive midfield position of ‘The Foxes’ his own so much so that he has interested several of Europe’s top clubs, from Real Madrid to PSG, and could sooner rather than later be on his way out as well.

The Sweden Young Player of the Year could then be a worthy replacement for the Super Eagles star.

not going to happen

Why are you always quick to accuse people of not liking certain players when they criticise them?

It's not like you haven't criticised any Nigerian player before...

Let's be fair, the way some people comment about some certain players you'll know they don't have love for them.

More on Tolu Arokodare's Move

The report from Koln said it is loan but they didn't mention anything about an option to buy.

His former club, Valmiera just announced his departure and also didn't mention anything about it being a loan. They said their goodbyes.

I believe the option-to-buy option could be activated by performances.
Tolu Arokodare Loan move to FC Koln turning permanent is likely performance based. So this is a huge step-up and big chance for Tolu to show his stuff in Germany.

The leap is bloody huge. All the way from Latvia in the backwaters of Europe to a Top 5 league. A league that currently boasts the Champions of Europe. This must be up there with the biggest transfer move based on league levels this window. Absolute super leap.


He replaces Jhon Cordoba who joined Hertha Berlin SC from FC Koln.

Wishing Tolu all the very best. Time for his 1.97m frame to light things up on a much bigger level.

This picture really show how huge he is

Tomori earned his England cap after turning 21, I guess he's stuck with England

charlesemeka85:
yea alot.

Imagine having the below listed players in our ranks

Adarabioyo
Uduokhai
Olise
Saka
Akpoguma
Torunarigha

Omeruo and awaziem really need to sit up

If omeruo doesn't leave Leganes then I'm afraid he could be watching the next afcon from his sitting room

Tolu Arokodare is reportedly set to join FC Cologne in Germany

Iwobi was down with a hamstring injury but he's now fit and available for selection

charlesemeka85:
onazi was never half of the player ndidi is currently

I agree, they don't call Ndidi double engine for nothing

Turning down a senior team for a junior team of same country na the same na.....Revolving in same circle

Was already part of the junior team way before he became a first team player at arsenal, so rejecting them this past window no go make sense

Philosopher1979:
Dont undersrand. But he allways performs well wherever he plays. Its funny. He is still a very good player

If he perform well they won't keep throwing him out

mostob:
You think if he put up two MOTM performance before Evans and Morgan come back,the coach will be willing to move him back to CM especially if one of the latter are not up to pace early?
Anyway,make we dey look am

So he'll bench Evans or Soyuncu for Ndidi? Football doesn't work like that sir

Nawa o, Shakhtar no even rate this guy at all

Icon4s:
We go for mediocre coaches because those are the kind of coaches our FAs can afford.

At best they keep recycling foreign coaches with experience on the continent.

What is the use of Hiring a coach you cannot pay?

Spot on. Funds is a major problem,and I think our own local coaches aren't ambitious enough

daveP:
i think if they take it twice as serious as Nwakali their clubs would have no choice than to start letting them stand behind many. Some teams have 4-7 freekicks per game. Imagine a SE player burying 2 outta that number in one game. Well, the names you mention dont really seem convincing, except Nacho.



Well as you said.... Let time tell.

lol even Beckham no dey bury two in a game

Iwobi: I’m not bothered by Ancelotti’s snub

Shearer hails Iwobi after home debut goal
Bolaji Okunola

Everton winger, Alex Iwobi has hinted he is unbothered for not making coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad in the English Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur.

Iwobi, whose team walked away with a 0-1 away victory in a tie with Jose Mourinho’s tutored team, was seen flaunting an image involving him and Super Eagles’ teammate, Chidozie Awaziem in a pool side.

Surprisingly, Iwobi a nephew to legendary footballer, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, posted the image on his instagram status few minutes after his side victory.

The post saw him receiving accolades from Awaziem who is presently making wave with Portuguese premier league side, Boavista.

“My guy at Alexanderiwobi,” Awaziem captioned while Iwobi replied with a social media emoji which signifies love.

Meanwhile, fans have been divided on social media over the player’s absence from the registered 18-man squad who silenced the Spurs.

It’s yet unknown if the former Arsenal starlet will make Ancelotti’s squad in next league action against West Bromwich Albion.

which kain fake news be this? I actually thought iwobi gave an interview or something similar

Clubless Super Eagles Ace Shehu Abdullahi Offered To Boavista
owngoalnigeria.com Sep 15, 2020 8:00 AM

Nigeria international defender Shehu Abdullahi has been offered to Portuguese side Boavista as a free player following the end of his stay with Turkish side Bursaspor.

Shehu left the second division side at the end of the season in Turkey after they failed to gain promotion ending his two years stay at the club he joined from Cyprus side Anorthosis Famagusta.

Owngoalnigeria.com gathered that he was offered to the Portuguese team but they are yet to decide on signing him as his role on the pitch isn’t much of a priority to them at the moment.

Comfortable as a defensive midfielder or full back he has represented the senior national team 27 times operating mainly as a right full back. Although coach is the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr insist he can be of use in the midfield.

His search for a new club could see him omitted from the list of players for the upcoming friendly games on the 9th and 13th of October against Côte d’Ivoire and Tunisia respectively in Austria.

Daniel Martins

huh! Abdullahi is clubless

Egypt? Nope!
With or without Salah,they are beatable..

Algeria don't have too many top players but they are very organised,that makes them deadly! ..
Senegal are also another elite team with a lot of top players...na badluck Dy follow them around...

And you are right, we need to sort out our set piece issue...

I also feel it's time Rohr made a decision on his choice in midfield.. We can't continue with Ndidi-Etebo midfield pairing...it doesn't always work!
And Iwobi needs serious competition...

We need the midfield to be more creative!!

In all sincerity,we have what it takes to win the next AFCON! .. If Rohr can't deliver it, I'm afraid that would be the end for him...

presently, na coach be Senegal's problem

feelme2020:
You have a point. At youth level it will be hard for foreign born players because we really have talented players that do well at that level and so the need for reinforcements is not that strong. The problem is these boys fade away at the senior level and do a Rabiu Ibrahim for us and then the foreign born have a chance. The 2007 u17 was a total waste of talent and next to that is the 2013 u17. Only a few of them (maybe 5) are still relevant.
I wonder why our youth players are not impressive at a senior level. It bothers me a lot

it's not peculiar to us alone, it's a general issue

Like NFF like Juventus, at the time they made Pirlo their coach he wasn't qualified to be a coach

There's some truth to this...
