TheSuperNerd:
Elyte, I won't give you false hopes. But I can tell you this. We never commot hand for Saka matter. Matter still dey ground.

His agent is Emeka Obasi, a Nigerian. Now, Look at some of the following players under Obasi's agency management:

- Alex Iwobi: Super Eagles.

- Joe Aribo: Super Eagles.

- Ola Aina: Super Eagles.

- Chuba Akpom

- Terem Moffi: Already on Super Eagles radar.

- Sheyi Ojo

- Jordan Aina

- Folarin Balogun

And so on.

Even Jadon Sancho and Todd Cantwell are under this guy's agency management.

So far, three players of Anglo-Nigerian links being managed by this guy have chosen Nigeria. A few others have since declared like Sheyi Ojo or even switched like Chuba Akpom (although I doubt Chuba stands a chance of playing sef).

Now, don't get your hopes up but Time will tell. wink
But it'll still be hard sha

Once England comes calling, na only God fit make am resist the temptation.

But its better to be aloof so that if he chooses England, e no go pain. Some people here are still pained that Tammy and Tomori chose England over Naija

Our football academies are producing competent players. It will be nice if he played for us but if he doesnt we have replacements.

Talk about a very excellent player...Dominic Solanke.

This guy would walk into any team in ligue 1 because the ligue 1 is lower in ranking compared to the premier league.

we will always have replacements but are they good enough?
Zaidu and Saka should not even be in the same sentence considering the leagues and team they currently play for

And if the locals are not good why won't we go for foreign borns?
Abi you think say na golden generation era we dey?

Begging or whatever you call it doesn't change the fact that there are better players in Europe

Interesting fact:

Jamilu Collins has the second highest inceptions in Europe only behind Ndidi
Reference please.

Because l want to presume you mean interceptions.

This is a statistic that has Ndidi at the top level but not the highest at this point in time. See below.

Like l have said before statistics are not conclusive they are indicative. They are supposed to guide you in making an informed objective decision and are not the decision in themselves.

If Indeed those statistics are true.

What does it actually mean❓ that he is outstanding quality, a top defender his team is top quality, etc.

Paderborn is a poor team that has been on the relegation bottom slot from the inception of the Bundesliga.

Out of 34 games played in the Bundesliga they only were able to win 4, the end up with a total points tally of 20 pts. The next team to them had 30 points.

That tells us the team literally spent the whole season defending indeed they conceded 74 goals the highest in the league.

That means that they will probably have the highest blocks, interceptions, clearances, because that's what they came to do DESPERATE DAN DEFENDING.

It's a reflection of very poor quality and inability nothing to commend. Colin sadly remains poor quality desperate Dan defender.

Then why are we not seeing them in the top teams of Europe.

I have probably been to every EPL academy at one time or the other as well as to many Championship and lower team football academies.

I have been to quite a few "academy" in Lagos, Benin, PH and quite a few other places. To b e honest there is HUGE GAP in the quality of training and facilities.

European teams can not cap all the Nigerian origin players. With regards to English football there is no EPL academy thar doesn't have Nigerian origin players in it.

There are many more Saka's you just haven't seen them yet.

Adarabioyo Awaits FIFA Clearance To Play For Super Eagles

Completesports

Manchester City loanee Tosin Adarabioyo is awaiting FIFA clearance to complete his switch of nationality, following his decision to represent Nigeria at the international level, reports Completesports.com.

According to reports from England, Adarabioyo has accepted to play for the Super Eagles despite previously representing England at youth level.

The 22-year-old, who was born to a Nigerian father and English mother has 15 caps for England youth teams.

The centre-back, who is currently on loan at Sky Bet Championship club Blackburn Rovers is highly regarded by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola as an integral part of the future of the team.

Adarabioyo spent last season on loan at another championship club West Bromwich Albion.

This season, he has scored twice in 27 league appearances for Blackburn Rovers.

It's going to depend on the circumstances prior to and after committing to England. Alaba, for example, could have played for Nigeria but ended up playing for Austria. Who wouldn't be pained? But do you see vituperations being hurled at him? nah. Nigerians love him and wish him well. Why then is Tammy and Tomori different? or even Billing?

Saka is not Tammy or tomori he might decide to go their way and he might decide not to
And as things stand now he is eligible to play for Nigeria I don't think he needs FIFA clearance many players have represented England in age grade football and still switch while some didnt it all about choices he is a Nigerian until he is capped by England

Well if saka chooses naija then it’s a good one

But as I have said earlier he won’t choose naija and watch them turn their hate towards him just as they are doing to Tammy

Take a look at them downplaying someone with 13 epl goals before he made it 14 yesterday

In marking the uniqueness of today's date (07/07/2020), the Ligue 1 club Lille is celebrating the Nigeria international because of his shirt number
Lille have declared July 7 as International Day for celebrating Victor Osimhen because of his shirt number.


The 21-year-old had an excellent debut campaign in France with the Great Danes, thanks to his goalscoring exploits in all competitions.
Osimhen was the highest goalscorer in Christophe Galtier's squad with a return of 18 goals in the 2019-20 season which includes 13 efforts in Ligue 1.


His contributions earned him Lille’s Player of the Year award and the Marc Vivien Foe Prize for 2020 among other accolades.


In celebrating the July 7 date, Lille who finished fourth in the league table this season joined together two pictures of their talisman showing the no. 7 side by side.


We declare today's date, 07/07, International
@victorosimhen9 Day � pic .twitter .com/V0BAxciatY
— LOSC Lille EN (@LOSC_EN) July 7, 2020



Despite having four years left on his contract at Lille, Osimhen’s future at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy is in doubt with a number of European clubs showing interest in his signing.


Napoli are reportedly leading the chase for his services with an offer of €50 million and the
Nigeria forward, before making a decision, visited the Serie A club to meet their management last week.


Lille President Gerrard Lopez admitted several offers for the 2015 Caf Young Player of the Year, and he has backed him to make a move to Gennaro Gattuso’s side where he could become a superstar.
"For Victor, we had several offers. He asked me and I told him what I think was the ideal club for him,” Lopez told La Voix du Nord.


“Napoli is just below Juventus or Barcelona but is at the same level as Atletico Madrid. If he goes there, he will become their superstar.


“Having a city like Naples at your feet must be exciting for a footballer. Victor has the strength to perform under pressure." Lille celebrate International Victor Osimhen Day
