There would be major surprises, Pinnick has already said they won't be wasting much money for the match meaning home based would majorly make up the list plus few fringe foreign based players

The Super Eagles defender has called upon his team to aim big as his side are led by the Arsenal forward
Article continues below

Kenneth Omeruo believes that Nigeria's young side should be aiming to win the Africa Cup of Nations and has picked out Arsenal's Alex Iwobi as one of the men to fire them to glory.

Nigeria's last success came in 2013, in a tournament where Omeruo made his competitive debut for the Super Eagles, but subsequently failed to qualify for both the 2015 and 2017 editions.

Manager Gernot Rohr has got Nigeria to the AFCON once again in 2019 though, after narrowly missing out on qualifying from the World Cup group in 2018, and Omeruo thinks that Iwobi will be peaking like the rest of his team come the tournament and feels that Nigeria should aim for the top prize.

“Iwobi has improved a lot and he brings that into the national team as well,” Omeruo told Goal.

“He has good footwork, he moves well and he enjoys what he does. For him, it is fun to play football. He is a really good player but the exciting thing is there’s more to come.

“We have a big chance because we have got some quality players coming up. This set of boys, they are good, young and the coaches are good. Anything can happen now for us.

“If we keep working hard and listen to the coaches then we can achieve a lot for the country. We just need to work together more and increase our understanding of each other. The last meet up was good because we had a lot of time to train.

“Right now, the team keeps changing. When we play together more and understand each other more then we might be the team to beat.”


While still on the first of his six loan spells away from Chelsea, Omeruo was at ADO Den Haag when he was called upon for his national team debut.

Then aged just 19, Omeruo lined up as Nigeria faced a star-studded Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals of the AFCON.

Nigeria ran out 2-1 winners in that clash and Omeruo managed to shut out Didier Drogba in the process.

It was a match that was the making of Omeruo's reputation in Nigeria and the 25-year-old spoke of his time facing the Chelsea legend, who has only recently retired from football.

“The first thing I noticed is that he is strong. Wow, he is strong,” Omeruo added. “I remember going up for my first header against him and I was put on the floor.

“It's a happy memory playing Drogba because it was one of the games that got me known in Nigeria especially - I was known as the defender that stopped Drogba.

“That was the first time I met him. I said to him, 'I am a fan and a Chelsea player' and he, of course, didn’t know me and said 'Really?!'

“He told me to do everything I can to play for Chelsea and what a massive club it was. It meant a lot

I do not see it as a good Development bro. He signed a Year Contract according to the Reports, he's gonna be under huge Pressure to impress and win an Extension, however what about if he couldn't meet up to the Expectations and perhaps couldn't get Extension?!

It's simply a well played Game by the Club's Administration. They tied him down just in case Nigeria made it to the U20 World Cup and the Lad hopefully rises to Stardom at the Tournament.

They foresee he might become a Revelation at the World Cup based on what they saw of him at the Trials..... So it's a Win Win Situation for the Club. If he plays well and light up U20 World Cup, they definitely gonna extend his Contract by 5 Years More, if he fails....... Its over for him.

In short..... U20 AFCON and World Cup are his final Trials. I wish him best of Luck!

We rarely get to see the club transactions between NPL sides having players that want to transfer to Europe...


The price is usually hidden then we find out later.


And i keep wondering where some of these cash disappear to. Smh

Many of these transfer funds do not go to NPFL clubs.

A lot of these players are owned by academies and loaned to NPFL clubs. Academies do not sell to the NPFL in case the player secures a foreign deal.

We also play Egypt during that window. I expect Rohr to invite most of the regulars for the two clashes, but would want to give those with less playing time more opportunity to play against Seychelles. I expect to see players like Iheanacho , Success, Onyekuru and Chukwueze start against Seychelles.

I guess they'd renerge on this since the Delta state government has promise to foot 70% of the expenses of the game and looking at the Egypt friendly, you wouldn't want to play home based against Mo Salah and troops.

It'd be a good mix but mostly untested players (Chukwueze, Seyi , Osimhen and other players who haven't been tested yet) with some trusted legs. Only Ezenwa might make it from the pool of home based player as usual.
