[b][size=14pt] Deals agreed as Arsenal close in on three new signings ahead of Liverpool clash [/size]  By Editor Wayne Veysey Arsenal have agreed deals for three new January signings after adding emerging Nigerian pair to incoming midfielder Mohammed Elneny. Football Insider revealed earlier this week that the Gunners were in advanced talks to recruit midfield sensations Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze to their academy. This comes as they finalise the paperwork on the deal for Elneny, who has now been granted a UK visa as he flies to London to complete his £5.2million move. An Arsenal recruitment source has told Football Insider that the London giants have reached an agreement on a double deal for Nwakali and Chukwueze and will secure their signings before the end of the January transfer window. The north Londoners have beaten Manchester City to the signings of the exciting teenage pair. The Premier League giants were among a number of leading European clubs who scouted Nwakali and Chukwueze in last year’s Fifa Under-17 World Cup in Chile. Nwakali, 17, was named as player of the tournament, while Chukwueze, 16, also delivered a series of promising displays for Nigeria. The deals are likely to be held up while the pair await work permits to play in the UK. Done deal: Arsenal are set to announce Mohamed Elneny as a January signing Nwakali is able to sign a professional contract as he has already turned 17, but Chukwuze will only be able to sign a scholarship deal. Arsenal have been given the clearance to complete the signing of Elneny from Basle, with Arsene Wenger admitting on Monday that the deal had not been finalised as quickly as he had hoped. “We are positive this week it can happen,” the Arsenal manager said. “There are a lot of work permit problems and other paperwork. As long as it’s not definitely signed, you have to be cautious. But I’m optimistic about the case.” http://www.footballinsider247.com/news/deals-agreed-as-arsenal-close-in-on-three-new-signings [/b] 1 Like |

[size=14pt] Nigeria: No Presidential Reward for F/Eagles [/size] Nigeria U20s, the Flying Eagles, will not be one of the teams to be rewarded by President Muhammadu Buhari on January 21 even after they won a seventh African Youth Championship last March. President Buhari will receive some of the country's top teams and athletes on January 21 to honour their international performances. "The Flying Eagles are not among those to be honoured by Mr President," a top official disclosed. Five-time world champions Golden Eaglets, Nigeria U23 team, who won the recent U23 AFCON in Senegal as well as the country's basketball team will be among those to be rewarded by the President. The Flying Eagles led by coach Manu Garba stopped hosts Senegal 1-0 to win a record seventh African Youth Championship in Dakar in March to qualify them for the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand. http://allafrica.com/stories/201601130941.html |

[b][size=14pt] REVEALED: Nigerian youngsters cost Arsenal 6 million pounds [/size]  by Samm Audu Wednesday Jan 13, 2016. 12:34 English Premier League side Arsenal have put on the table a total of six million pounds for Nigeria youngsters Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze. President Buhari rewards world champions Eaglets The youngsters, who shone at last year’s FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile in November, are expected with their guardians and academy officials in London this month to complete the transfer to the London Gunners. “Kelechi (Nwakali) will cost 3.9 million pounds, while 2.1 million pounds is for Chukwueze,” a top source specially informed. “This is the full package including training compensation to the players’ academy and what have you.” Last year, Nwakali’s agents demanded four million pounds from another EPL side Manchester City after he underwent trials at The Etihad. City officials felt the player was overpriced and did not follow up on the deal. Kelechi’s older brother Chidiebere is on the books of City and his own transfer three years ago was put at over three million pounds. http://africanfootball.com//news/600982/REVEALED-Nigerian-youngsters-cost-Arsenal-6-million-pounds [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Osimhen will explode in Europe - Rep [/size]  Osimhen receives his CAF Award from Nigerian League Boss Shehu dikko(Left) by Samm Audu CAF Youth Player of the Year Victor Osimhen will blossom once he has settled down in Europe, according to one of his representatives. Osimhen set a new goals record when he scored10 goals at the U17 FIFA World Cup in Chile in November. He was also on the squad when Nigeria won a first U23 AFCON title in Senegal the following month. He is set to sign a pre-contract with Wolfsburg after he visited the German Bundesliga club recently. “Victor has not played half the football he is capable of. Once he is fully settled in Europe, he will explode,” said his representative Ariyo Igbayilola “You know this is a boy who before now would go out to the streets of Ojota hawking pure water after training so as to make ends meet. “Now, he does not have to worry about where the next meal will come from. All he has to do is to concentrate on playing football and scoring goals and with the right environment, professional guidance and proper concentration, this boy will take world football by storm.” The player of Ultimate Strikers Academy of Lagos has already dismissed speculations linking him with a move to English Premier League side Arsenal. http://africanfootball.com/news/600738/Osimhen-will-explode-in-Europe-Rep [/b] 1 Like |

The NFF should make a policy of Foreign born Nigerians should declare their interest before we go for them. I find it irritating that we are convincing players to play for the National team. Ibe's case was too embarassing. Any player that wants to play for us should declare his interest, if not we should focus on our millions of devoted talents, home and abroad. Icon4s: 2 Likes |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria Turkey Turkish club clear Musa Mohammed over red card [/size]  Musa Mohammed in action for Istanbul BB Turkish club Istanbul BB will not fine Nigeria defender Musa Mohammed after his dismissal in a cup tie after television replays showed it was a harsh sanction. Musa was sent off in the 76thminute when Istanbul BB beat lower league Bandirmaspor 3-2 to remain top of the group with seven points from three games. “Musa will miss two matches due to the sending off but his club have cleared him of any wrongdoing after television replays showed he should not even have been booked,” a source informed. “The player himself was baffled to be sent off, the first of his career, because he did elbow or kick the opposing player. It was just a contact and he was even the one who fell down.” Istanbul are at Bandirmaspor today in the reverse cup tie and Musa will miss the game due to suspension. africanfootball.com/news/600947/Turkish-club-clear-Musa-Mohammed-over-red-card [/b] 1 Like |

'The Gunners' are hot in the chase of ‘The Blues’ youngster after he refused to sign a new contract with Chelsea, according to The Mirror. The Nigerian-born right back's deal will expire in the summer and he is not close to breaking into the Chelsea first-team. He has been demoted to the club’s Under-21s and has previously trained with the senior squad. And with Mathieu Debuchy likely to depart Arsenal this month, Aina could be drafted in as a backup to Hector Bellerin. Liverpool are also interested in the youngster. africanfootball.com/news/600971/Arsenal-chase-Chelsea-youngster-Ola-Aina 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria Nigeria (U20) Crewe delighted to extend Semi Ajayi loan [/size]  Semi Ajayi (background) Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis has said he is delighted to have secured the services of former Nigeria youth international Semi Ajayi till February 26. He said the towering Nigeria defender, who is on loan from Cardiff City, possesses the right character to help the team battle for survival in the English League One. The central defender is on loan to gain more playing time and the coach was delighted with Ajayi’s positive response when agreement was reached for the loan extension during the week. “I was pleased to get Semi sign up quickly because there were a few clubs who had also expressed an interest in taking him on loan,” Davies told the Crewe website. “He has done well for us and we feel there is more to come from him. There is still room for improvement and that comes from playing in the games and the experience he is being exposed to. “He was happy to stay and that was important. He has settled in quickly, he is a good lad and he wanted to stay and help. “I had a chat with him and said it is going to be a fight. We are fighting a relegation battle and it is going to be tough, but he said he wanted to stay and fight. That is important because we will need characters like him. I know he has the character to stand up to that and will give it his all. “It has been good to have kept him and that has given us a boost.” africanfootball.com/news/601211/Crewe-delighted-to-extend-Semi-Ajayi-loan [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] World Exclusive : Etebo Oghenekaro Signs Two - Year Deal With Portuguese Team [/size]  Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the most promising talent in Africa, Etebo Oghenekaro, has appended his signature to a two - year deal with a Portuguese club( name withheld by this website). Uninformed sources have consistently linked the attacking midfielder with possible moves to Tunisia and Egypt in the January transfer window but in reality the Nigeria youth - teamer ended speculation about his future late last year when he penned a contract with the team from Portugal. Contrary to reports claiming that Warri Wolves have lowered their $2 million asking price for Etebo, the Delta State team will not be paid a dime by the Portuguese club because he became a free agent at the end of the 2015 season. Etebo Oghenekaro has applied for a Portuguese visa and should be bidding an emotional farewell to his friends, family and ex teammates before January 31. The 20 - year - old started every single game contested by the Dream Team in Senegal and found the net five times. www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=17560 [/b] 1 Like |
