I say Solanke stays to the end of the season. Master the high intensity system of Klopp and then leave at the start of the new season to a club he will get opportunity. From the look of it, he is not a Klopp kind of player but he can learn from the lessons which will make him a better player.

daveP:
His performance though is low and getting worrisome.

Of all his games I've watched at Udinese, he has been far from imposing.

He keeps getting yellow carded In almost all the games he has played so far.

Ex-Chelsea midfielder Andy Townsend and former Manchester United star Owen Hargreaves have predicted that Nigerian midfielder Philip Billing will bid farewell to Huddersfield Town at the end of the 2018-19 season if they get relegated from the Premier League.

Billing, who was named The Terriers Player of the Month for September, was impressive in Monday night's hard fought 1-0 win against Fulham and came close to scoring his second of the season but smashed the bar with an incredible long-range strike in the 15th minute.

Reviewing the game, BT Sport pundits Townsend and Hargreaves agreed that the defensive midfielder will be the subject of interest from topflight clubs as he has had a descent season.

''Good player Phil Billing, he is the sort of player that if the worst happens to Huddersfield, someone might come and have a look at,'' Townsend stated.

Hargreaves added : ''Definitely, he is a really elegant classy player with big physical presence, descent in possession, he's definitely got something. I think he's going for it.''

The 22-year-old Billing was yellow carded in the closing minutes against Fulham - his fifth caution this season - and it means he will not be available for selection in Huddersfield Town's next game vs West Ham.

UP BENDEL!!! The NPFL is back to the Ancient Kingdom of Benin!

RALPH OKHIRIA, Benin City

After dropping from the Nigerian elite soccer league, for over a decade, Bendel Insurance Football Club, Benin City on Monday, made a historic return to the Premier League with a 2-1 defeat of 3SC Football Club, Ibadan.

The highly anticipated make-or-mar encounter, between both teams, was concluded on Monday morning at the University of Benin Sports Complex, Benin City, Edo State, after a tension-soaked Sunday afternoon encounter that was postponed due to bad weather.

With the 2-1 win, the Edo Arsenal as Bendel Insurance are fondly called, has secured the 3 points it needed to top the NNL Table and book a place in the 2018/19 NPFL season.

Receiving the team at the Government House on Monday, a visibly-elated Governor Obaseki congratulated the management and players of Bendel Insurance Football Club for defeating 3SC FC of Ibadan to proceed to the Nigeria Premier League.

Obaseki said the victory was another fulfilment of his administration’s promise to Edo people and residents.

“My joy knows no bound because of what you have done today. I congratulate you and congratulate myself. I say this because it is another promise kept. We promised Edo people that we would bring Bendel Insurance to its lofty status which we all will be proud off and make sure they go on to play in the Premier league,” the governor said.

He described the Deputy Governor of the State, Hon. Philip Shaibu who led the team to his office as the father of the New Bendel Insurance FC and commended him for the giant strides he made in rebranding the club.

“We have built a team and have a machinery that will win the premier league, I am giving the club the sum of N25 million to show how grateful we are as a government,” Obaseki said.

BascoVanVeli:


Leave that thing player Na player. How much did Kante and Mahrez cost Leicester? Peanuts but they are top players today

daveP:
Our Oyinbo wall need more than what they are offering club wise. We don't want any kind of form that is not favourable to Comman haunt our Super Eagles o.

Seems the defence to the goalie is having serious issues and I hope Rohr is doing something about it.

daveP:



There goes the sour taste of Political involvement again. They'll be giving Press Statements like say na dem be club spokesman or whatever. pisses me off. Instead of attractive sponsorship now, they are sweetmouthing the press.


25milla? Which NPFL clubs would survive on such a sum?


I hear someone say that they are lucky and what else I'm I expecting. Lol.

I hope the Insurance is intact sha!


Welcome back Bendel!! Popc can talk about this club back in days Mehn....

BascoVanVeli:

Not true. 2 yellow cards so far.

Sky Sports pundit Tony Cascarino believes the duo of Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will not have long term future at Arsenal under Unai Emery but sees Nigeria international Alex Iwobi suiting the playing style of the new Gunners' head coach and deserves more playing opportunities.

Iwobi provided the assist for striker Alexandre Lacazette in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Saturday evening with eight minutes left in the game. He had replaced Mkhitaryan in the 68th minute.

Cascarino pointed to the seemingly lack of physical attributes of both players as to why they will not fit in to the Spaniard's style of football.

"Arsenal feel like a completely different club under Unai Emery and one of the main reasons for that is that the fans believe in the team now," Cascarino wrote in the Times.

"Under Emery, they have won more points from losing positions than any other team, so the fans stay with the players.

"But I cannot see how Emery can keep both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut özil in his team, given that power and tempo seem so important to the way he wants to play. Alex Iwobi has flourished under him and he deserves a starting place."

Iwobi is in line to feature for the Gunners when they take on Sporting CP in the Europa League on Thursday.

For me, Iwobi deserves cementing a place in Arsenal's first 11 either as an AM or a Winger. My worry still remains his shyness in front of goal. If Iwobi can start scoring goals in addition to his assists, he should be rubbing shoulders with likes of Edin Hazard by now.
