Cyriel Dessers has said he is happy to play under pressure at new club KRC Genk because that will push him to excel. Hometown club Genk have splashed four million Euros on Dessers, who was top scorer in Holland this past season. “There will always be pressure, but that is normal when you come to a big club. But that is also nice, because that’s what I do it for. I prefer to play with pressure, than without it,” he told the Genk YouTube channel. The Super Eagles call-up opened his goals’ account for his new club in a 4-1 win over Dutch club Excelsior. He said it was a great feeling to do so. “The headline is off, as they say,” he said. “I was close to scoring a few times. I hit the crossbar and an attempt was cleared off the line. “Fortunately I play in a good team and then you know that there is always a chance (to score). “It was nice to have made that first goal and hopefully it will not be the last.” |

Yes, there is all those attributes you mentioned but Victor is not lacking technically and his mentality is very sound. Rock-solid in fact. And Lille's style wasn't only about using Victor's pace. They also built plays mainly from the wings and sometimes centrally and found him in dangerous areas in the box to finish the job. Apart from Victor's pace, they used Victor's high sense of positioning and finding space. Napoli plays just this way and more. This is part of why Victor will fit in nicely. And like I already said, Serie A is much stronger and on a higher plane than Ligue 1. That's where the challenge is in this step-up for Victor but that is why it is called A CHALLENGE in the first place. Just like how he moved from the Belgian Jupiler to a higher plane in French Ligue 1. And yes, he will be entering a much stronger dressing room but Victor's mentality surely matches whatever he will meet. His strong sense of worth and Fearless mental attitude will put him in good stead within the dressing room at Naples. This is one of the attributes Rino Gattuso saw that made him go all in for Victor to make him the number 1 transfer priority for Napoli this summer. Gattuso knows in Victor, he is getting not only a true striker but a real fighter on the field. A warrior with a tough mentality and a winning attitude who hates losing. Even Mertens, A Belgian international, made enquiries form friends at Victor's former club, Charleroi in Belgium, about Victor and he confirmed he got very glowing reports about the lad's talents and mentality and Mertens said and I quote... "Victor is the kind of player Napoli needs" That is Mertens, one of the strongest personalities in Napoli's dressing room already leaning towards Victor. That's a great sign. Additionally, Victor won't be alone in settling down with his teammates. He would have the company of a friend from his time at Lille in Gabriel Magalhaes also joining Napoli. So Komekn, the signs are more good than bad. The stage is set. Bring three plates sef of the Carbonera pasta and let's dine. Bring it on! Victor will be ready. komekn: 2 Likes |

Talented Italian-Nigerian midfielder Michael Folorunsho is on the radar of newly-promoted Italian Serie B outfit Reggina. According to Gazzetta del Sud (via tiforeggina), Reggina Sporting Director Massimo Taibi has identified Folorunsho to bolster the midfield due to his physicality. The 22-year-old joined Lazio in the summer of 2019 before embarking on a two-season loan deal with Bari which runs out at the end of the 2020-2021 season. Reggina signing Folorunsho hinges on Bari failing to secure promotion to the Italian second-tier at the end of the Serie C playoffs. So far this season, the Roma-born midfielder has made 15 appearances for the Biancorossi but he could have been involved in more games if not for an injury he suffered at the beginning of the season that kept him out of action for two months. Prior to joining Lazio, Folorunsho played for Tor Sapienza, Savio and Virtus Francavilla, and he's tied to the Eagles until 2024. 2 Likes |

Am beginning to feel like Pep doesn't like African players. What is he looking at when Osi is waiting to be taken, Gabby needs a push, he's not growing as he should, the presence of Osi in ManC will bring out the best in both strikers. Just thinking aloud |

honestly he baffles me a times. so somebody in naples just woke up one day. looked through videos of players, saw osimhen and thought wow dude looks good. hairs not too bad as well. it's not like they would have sent scouts to see him, analyze closely how his game will fit theirs etc. so napoli will just drop a rumored 80m euros in these though covid times on a hunch that victor might come good? they wouldn't have assessed if he's a risk worth taking? or he thinks napoli is some money miss road club that can afford to splash money around? smh komekn has really irritated me with his obviously biased views these past few days but this one takes the cake. everyone is happy for the lad and the new challenge that awaits him. instead of encouraging him to stay focused knuckle down and work hard to justify napoli's faith in him he's implying he might not work out in naples with nothing at present to show otherwise if victor now does well he will now say we mischievously took him out of context TheSuperNerd: 4 Likes |

Low key? Do you have any idea of what you typed? Aguero? Do you even follow football? Gabby? Didi u read my comment or you are one of those whose sentiment blindfolds their sense of judgement? Please stop rating Osi low, if given the chance he will bench Gabby anyday anytime! andrewbaba44: |

TheSuperNerd: He ain't no hit yet, he has only had two good games, it is still early days. I wouldn't want to make same mistake I made with Brian Idowu. He has moved to lowly rated Scottish league and hasn't lit it up to convince us that he is truly a quality player, more so, no team from an elite league seems to be looking his. |

Kaiiii....lol.. Na wa for you ooo. He came on his debut and scored (yeah Idowu did that too). Repeated same feat with a top class performance against Brazil (Idowu didn't do this!). Idowu is not Aribo abeg. Aribo was also very decent against Benin Republic and okay against Lesotho. He's been an instant hit so far and has not lost his spot since he came in. Just give him props for now. Competition still dey going forward but so far Aribo has been very good overall. ChrisKels: 1 Like |

Osimhen is on the right track. Not a finished striker. Still has room to develop. Napoli will be a good challenge. If he succeeds there, the sky is the limit for him. andrewbaba44: |

It's alright. It's okay to keep observing a player. But he has been impressive as a Midfielder for Rangers, bagging a good number of assists from deep or behind the striker and he also shows decent versatility. Another fine season in 2020/21 could have some decent clubs from better leagues looking at him. He really has impressed even in the Europa. ChrisKels: 1 Like 1 Share |
