19 year old Zubairu dominated the midfield in the game against Feyenoord as his team shock the more illustrious Dutch side 4-0 to put them in a strong position to progress ahead of the reverse tie in the Netherlands.

Zubairu lasted 83rd minutes in the game and picked up a yellow card in the 53rd minute in what was his fifth appearance in the Europa League Qualifiers this season.

A host of Belgium clubs are on his trail according to his agent Tony Harris but Ajax has now joined the chase after impressing scouts of the club who were in attendance during the game against Feyenoord.

Nicknamed Kante by his teammates , he has progressed massively this season at Trencin with his ability to cover ground for his team and assuredness on the ball the hall mark of his display.

Nigeria international defender Kenneth Omeruo will in the coming days decide on a move away from Chelsea either to La Liga side Levante or Real Betis, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Omeruo spent the past few weeks in Turkey where he held talks with interested teams in respect to his planned move away from Chelsea either on loan or a permanent term.

However, he has moved away from the idea of returning back to Turkey, where he has had three separate loan spells and the La Liga will be his likeliest destination according to report exclusively gathered by our editorial team.

Talks are progressing nicely between all parties involved in the proposed move with Omeruo also keen on the prospect of playing in Spain, although a final decision is yet to be reached on his final destination.

For now Real Betis and Levante are the teams pushing to sign him with Chelsea expected to demand a fee of around €4m with add ons which could see the fee rise to as high as €10m.

As long as our defenders and midfielders can get regular PT in a competitive league, then that's good enough for me.

Kenneth Omeruo has exclusively told SCORENigeria that Spanish La Liga clubs Leganes and Real Valladolid are in the race to sign him and this transfer could be completed within this week.

Two-time Nigeria World Cup defender Omeruo has played on loan away from Chelsea in Turkey for the past three seasons.



“My future could well be sorted out this week with two clubs from Spain currently working on a deal with Chelsea,” Omeruo told SCORENigeria

“But Leganes or Real Valladolid have to meet the financial terms of Chelsea before a deal will be agreed.”

The central defender also said Turkish clubs Bursapor and Kasimpasa are also keen to have him, but he would prefer to try his luck in a more competitive league in Spain having already played in the Turkish League.

SCORENigeria has been informed that Ajax Amsterdam have joined the race to sign highly-rated AS Trencin midfielder Abdul Zubairu, who has already been linked to Belgian champions Club Brugge.

The former Golden Boot Soccer Academy (GBS) player was the toast of all fans in his team’s emphatic 4-0 victory against Feyenoord in the Europa League last week.



Owner of GBS Academy Ahmed Ibrahim ‘Coach Bros’ told SCORENigeria: “Zubairu is a promising talent at just 19 years and he is already gaining recognition for himself.

“My partner and I will sit down and study any offer for him, then choose the most suitable club that will suit his style of play and improve his career, so that he could follow in the footsteps of Moses Simon, Samuel Kalu and Hillary Gong, who all started out at Trencin.”

Nigerian midfielder Philip Billing was one of the shining lights for Huddersfield Town in their disappointing 3-0 loss to Chelsea in their Premier League opener on Saturday afternoon.

The Terriers number eight was the top man in two statistical categories in the game staged at John Smith's Stadium.

According to stats provided by whoscored, Billing successfully took the ball away from Chelsea players six times over the course of ninety minutes, a game-high, and an honour he shares with teammate Aaron Mooy.

The 22-year-old was the joint most fouled player, with two fouls won, along with Aaron Mooy, Jonathan Hogg, álvaro Morata and Willian.

In other stats, Billing played two shots, made two interceptions, one clearance with one blocked shot and had an 88.9 percent passing accuracy.

He was the best Huddersfield Town player on parade of the 13 players that took to the pitch, with a rating of 7.19.

Billing has played 65 games in total for Huddersfield Town, with 17 of those matches in the English Premier League.

Moses Simon was yet again on the winning side as his new team Levante dispatched Real Zaragoza 5-3 on penalties in a friendly game ‎after both teams remained tied at 1-1 at regulation time.

Simon was handed his first start after his impressive display in his first games and the number 7 didn’t disappoint with smart and intelligent work on and off the ball from the right flank, where he operated.

He did make way shortly before the start of the second half as he is still building up his fitness level ahead of the start of the La Liga next weekend, where they will take on Real Betis in their first game.

Signed from Gent for a fee which could potentially rise to €10m, he is expected to play a starring role for modest side Levante, although he has admitted he need to learn the language faster for effective communication with his teammates.

” ‎I’m teaching myself the Spanish language, a bit funny to be honest because I have always love to hear people speak it and now I have to learn it and hopefully speak with my teammates for effective communication on the pitch”, Simon told Owngoalnigeria.com.

First choice goalkeeper of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Francis Odinaka Uzoho is in a race to be fit for Nigeria’s African Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Seychelles next month owing to an injury, Owngoalnigeria.com understands.

Uzoho is yet to taste a minute of pre season action for Deportivo La Coruna due to an ankle injury which could see him spend a further two weeks on the sidelines before returning to training.

Nigeria will take on Seychelles on the 8th of September with the 19 year old likely to miss the game as he will be returning back to full fitness when the game will be played at the home ground of Seychelles.

His absence will no doubt trouble head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr who is hoping to see his team bounce back to winning ways in the qualifiers after losing their first game 0-2 at home to South Africa.

The injury to Uzoho has also denied him the chance of leaving Deportivo La Coruna, where he has been told he will be the third choice goalkeeper of the first team but first choice for the B team in the third division.
