Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola sensationally omitted Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho from the names he mentioned as the future of the team ahead of their clash against West Ham.
Despite insisting that Iheanacho is part of his long term plans, he failed to mention the 20 year old, when analysing the future prospects he has in his team.

Iheanacho who has missed out on the matchday squad of Manchester City in their last two games appears to have lost his spot in the team to new signing Gabriel Jesus.

” These three ( Sane, Sterling and Gabriel Jesus) will be the future in the next three or four years, I’m pretty sure of that”, he said when asked about the young potentials he has in his team.

Celtic outcast Efe Ambrose has told SkySports Scotland that his proposed move to Blackburn Rovers went through yesterday but it’s subject to approval by the League body.

Ambrose deal wasn’t announced after the 11pm deadline, but it could still go through if the transfer papers were submitted to the league body before the deadline.

He now faces an anxious wait until later today to confirm if his move away from Celtic, where he has been frozen out of the first team set-up is approved by the league boy or not.

His move was also captured by the Scottish FA in their list of deadline day transfers published on their website following the close of the transfer January window yesterday.

However both teams are yet to officially announce the move, apparently waiting for the league body approval which could come later today.

Super Eagles and Monaco left full back Elderson Echiejile has joined Spanish side Sporting Gijon on loan for the remainder of the season.

Owngoalnigeria.com has speculated few days ago, that the defender who was recalled from Belgian side Standard Liege few weeks ago was set to be sent out on another loan.

It has now been confirmed that there’s still no room for the 28 year old in coach Leonardo Jardim plans, which has lead to his been sent out on loan again.

He has been at Monaco since 2014, when he joined them from Portuguese side Sporting Braga where he spent four years.

Former Manchester United star and manager Ryan Giggs says Alex Iwobi is not getting the praises his performances deserves.

Iwobi scored the only goal for Arsenal in their 1-2 loss to Watford at the Emirates, with Giggs watching the game as a television pundit.

The former Man United legend while analysing the way Iwobi took his goal, said the 20 year old deserve more commendations than he is getting at the moment.

” He scored an intelligent goal that look easy to the eyes, but when you consider the fact that his jab took three people out of the way then you will appreciate the quality”, Giggs said.

” I don’t think he is getting the praises he deserves, when you look around England, he is the only homegrown 20 year old, who is a regular for a team in the top three”.

Efe Ambrose has arrived England to complete a transfer to English Championship side Blackburn Rovers from Scottish champions Celtic.

The 28 year old has been out of favour at Celtic after a poor start to life under new coach Brendan Rodgers, where he committed two errors in back to back UEFA Champions League qualifiers games that almost proved costly.

” We are in England right now as we speak. He will undergo a medical very soon and the move will be made official”, his intermediary told Owngoalnigeria.com on phone.

” The paperworks are presently been handled by both teams, it should beat the deadline hopefully. Efe is happy, it’s a fresh start for him”.
