Maybe not Dennis, we want him to impress enough to help us, but not enough to get a call-up. Now, there are some very talented Nigerian forwards about, but considering there were some domestic-based forwards in their most recent squad (including former Leicester carthorse Ahmed Musa), this perhaps is a small window!

Rashdimuh:
na you kill Dele Aiyenugba

Pls where did you get that "na you kill am"..Dele na my boy from cadet team in Kwara and I was amongst that were instrumental to his first pro contract with Kwara star.

Dele is a good goalkeeper but Guinea afcon qualification nailed his chances of returning to eagles.

Thank to Vincent Enyeama for given him the opportunity of professional contract in Europe.

How I wish all SE players can learnt from Enyeama,Ejide and Dele despite being rivals they assisted each other careers

Scottish Premiership giants Celtic have pulled off a transfer coup by signing 2019 Nigeria U23 invitee Osaze Urhoghide.

The central defender was linked with a plethora of clubs in England and overseas but has opted to join The Hoops after turning down a new deal at demoted Championship team Sheffield Wednesday.

Born in the Netherlands twenty years ago to Nigerian parents, he moved to England aged five.

Urhoghide has signed a four-year deal with Celtic, keeping him at Celtic Park until at least the end of the 2024-2025 season.

The former AFC Wimbledon youth-teamer is looking forward to working with new Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou.

Speaking to Celtic TV, Urhoghide said : "It feels great to get it over the line. It’s been a long season making a decision where to go, and it’s good to be here at Celtic.

"To have the manager speak to you and to know he wants you is great. He told me the plans he has to get to the next level and it’s good to know the manager wants you in his plans to succeed."

Urhoghide made 21 first-team appearances for Sheffield Wednesday before becoming a free agent.

Kuwaiti Premier League side Kuwait Sporting Club have confirmed via their official Instagram account the signing of former Nigeria international John Obi Mikel.

Though the financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, the defensive midfielder will be a player of Kuwait SC until at least the end of the 2021-2022 season.

In a two-minute, 24-second video posted on Kuwait SC's Instagram page, Mikel thanked the President of the club for having faith in him and vowed to put in his maximum effort to help the club achieve their goals next season.

In his first words after the deal was confirmed, Mikel said : "I am very happy to sign for Kuwait SC, I thank the President of Kuwait SC for the trust that he has given to me to come to Kuwait.

"I promise to be on my best level to help the team to make sure that together as a team we can achieve a great season next year and hopefully we can be successful".

Mikel previously had spells with foreign teams in England, Norway, China and Turkey.

The ex-Super Eagles captain recorded 372 appearances in all competitions during a ten-and-a-half-year association with Chelsea, including 59 matches in the Champions League and four in the knockout rounds of the Europa League.

Stoke City manager Michael O'Neill has explained why experienced midfielder John Obi Mikel was allowed to leave the club as a free agent despite having a year left on his contract.

The Chelsea icon sealed a permanent transfer to Kuwaiti Premier League club Kuwait SC on Thursday, July 1, signing a deal that will keep him at the club until at least the end of the 2021-2022 season.

Although the Potters had activated an option to extend Mikel's contract by a year, there was an agreement in place that would enable him terminate his contract by mutual consent if he got an offer from a foreign club.

Signed as a free agent last summer, Mikel departs the bet365 Stadium after making 41 appearances in all competitions.

"Although John triggered the second year of his contract, we always had an agreement in place whereby we would let him leave if a significant overseas opportunity came along," O'Neill told Stoke City's official webpage.

"John is a fantastic professional and was a huge presence for us last season both on and off the field, particularly with the young players in our first-team squad.

"I really enjoyed working with him and would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his contribution and wish him every success for the future."

A two-time World Cupper, Mikel won 91 caps before retiring from international football after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Young former Arsenal defender Daniel Oyegoke has signed for Brentford.

The 18-year-old had been with the Arsenal academy since he was 14, when he arrived from Barnet.

Despite impressing with the under-18s and under-23s, the Gunners did not see a first team future for Oyegoke.

The England youth international has now made a permanent move to Brentford, who were recently promoted into the Premier League.

The Arsenal official website confirmed news of Oyegoke's transfer.

Nigeria forward Taiwo Awoniyi is expected to link up with Liverpool for pre-season training next week, Completesports.com reports.

Awoniyi was granted work permit about a month ago by the British goverment.

The striker is yet to play in an officials game for the Reds since arriving the club for a fee around £400,000.

Awoniyi signed a contract extension with Liverpool in 2018 which expires in 2023.

The 23-year-old has spent time on loan with clubs in Holland, Belgium and Germany.


He scored five goals and bagged three assists in 21 league apperances for Union Berlin during the last campaign.

Leicester city making immense moves. Soumare Boubakary signed! Is Ndidi leaving?

I did highlights of four NPFL matches in case anyone wants to check them out. All very good games if I may say.

World class and he is still at leicester after 4 seasons. Make we nor dey deceive ourselves. The likes of mahrez, kante left immediately they became hot. The likes of drink water, chilwell, maguire sef comot to big clubs but our ndidi that has allegedly been world class for the past 4 years is about to play his 5th season again. If una like, make una dey deceive una self

Going by your logic, Kane should be playing for Real Madrid, Barça, or Bayern.

12large1:
Ndidi is a great ball winner hardworking and energetic but he must add some offensive qualities to his game or else, he will just be a mid table player

Was Makelele good offensively? Was he not a world class player? What about Vieira?

Football has become pass, pass, cross, cross, cross vibes, and inshallah!

Will Switzerland be the 2004 Greece or will Spain stop them?

I feel for Switzerland. This is so cruel.
