Time will tell if he makes the Euro 2020 squad. The other Spanish wingers are not sleeping.

Ferran Torres, Gerard Deulofeu, Pablo Sarabia and Suso are his competition on the right. I deliberately left out Lucas Vasquez (not been seeing enough games) and Callejon.

Ansu Fati, Mikel Oyarzabal and a fit Marco Asensio are his competition on the left.

What Adama has over all of them majorly is his speed and power but time will tell.

Well i just believe the club would not care about Dembele if they really want him

If Auba leaves Arsenal for Barca, does that hasten Osimhen to Epl?


Cos many big teams in UCL are looking for strikers currently.

Mykola Matviyenko: 5 Things to Know About the £30m-Rated Defender Linked With Arsenal


He's...Creative?

He's a Regular Fixture For the National Side

Versatility

His Reading of the Game is His Best Asset

Arteta Courted Him For Manchester City



Something that has become commonplace with the Arsenal defenders is their remarkable ability to be unaware to incoming danger. Whether it is a player running in behind them or losing their marker from a set piece, it's cost the Gunners plenty of goals over recent years.

​Which is probably why Arteta is very keen on Matviyenko. He's always aware of his surroundings, rarely gets caught out and is masterful at reading where a pass is going and intercepting accordingly.

He averaged almost three interceptions per game in the Champions League this season (WhoScored), with an extra 88.7% pass accuracy - all traits which would fit swimmingly into Arteta's new-look side.

Deja vu



Remember Ighalo to Barca and Ighalo to Tottenham to bench Llorente, last winter

AndSunGorilla:
Odion will definitely help them pick valuable points.

The way you guys insult elderly people cos of politics on this forum is not cool oooo

Calling people old enough to be your fathers and grandfathers derogatory names is not cool even if you don't like or agree with the person's politics


I dnt like the way the country is at the moment too but calling people names would nt solve the challenges the country is facing

So Yoruba leader is supposed to fix infrastructure, industries, education and all that stuff the man said there?

tesppidd:
Seriously I don't know why this General is directing this letter at Tinubu.

Has he being President or Senator?

He was only a Governor and from what I hear he did faolry fairly good in Lagos.

This letter should be directed at Obasanjo and Osinbajo and Yorubas who have served as Federal Ministers like the ever nagging Fani Kayode, Fashola, Fayemi, and co.


Tinubu was only a Governor, never been in the Federal Government, neither is he your God.

Wasn't Awolowo a Premier and a minister?

England youth star Ademola Lookman switches to Nigeria

England youth international Ademola Lookman has applied to compete for Nigeria at senior level.

The 22-year-old, who won the Under 20 World Cup in 2017, holds a UK passport and wants to switch nationalities to represent the country of his parents.

A top official of the Super Eagles has welcomed his decision and he is now awaiting approval from world governing body the Fifa.

"Lookman has applied for the switch and all the documents are in order," Nigeria's technical assistant Tunde Adelakun told Opera News.

"It's a positive step forward when made his commitment to Nigeria and we are just waiting for a Fifa clearance.

"Once the go-ahead is sorted, it will be up to coach Gernot Rohr to decide if his club performance would earn him a call up."

Lookman scored 12 goals in 49 games for Charlton before joining Everton in January 2017.

Capped 31 times by England at youth level, he played on loan at German club RB Leipzig in 2018 before joining the Bundesliga outfit on a permanent deal last summer.

But the winger has struggled for regular game time this season with three of his four appearances coming in the league.

"He's one of three former England youth players we've filed for but they are all aware of the caveat," Adelakun added.

"All the players were told that they can only earn a place in the squad by playing regular club football."

Nigeria have previously succeeded in convincing several former England youth internationals like Sone Aluko, Victor Moses, Shola Ameobi, Alex Iwobi and Ola Aina to swap allegiances.

Liverpool's Sheyi Ojo also told BBC Sport that he would love to represent Nigeria if they approach him.

Should Lookman get the approval to represent Nigeria, he faces competition from Ahmed Musa, Moses Simon, Samuel Chukwueze and Samuel Kalu for a place in the current squad.

Nigerianization:
That's a grave error in journalism and the height of sensationalism. Using his name on the headline is bad enough, why put his picture

Mickael2:
We can agree on this. Heard Real Madrid are now after him, shows how good he is, I like his work rate though, he isn't like Atletico Madrid's Felix, the dude wants to work hard for the team and win with the team and for the team, currently I think that is the only part of Chukwueze's game that is lacking, that drive to suffer with your teammates, to maintain positional discipline, to do what you are meant to do and even cover for your teammates, if he can get that then I don't really think this Martinelli guy has much on him

But younger doesn't necessarily mean better.
