On loan Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo has earned praises from the press in Turkey due to his performances for his loan side Alanyanspor.

Not so known as a utility player, the 24 year old who started his senior national team career as a full back, has played in over four roles for Alanyanspor and didn’t look out of place.

Omeruo has been ever present for the team since joining them in the summer bar times when he was ruled out through injury or suspension.

While his talent has never been in doubt, this season he has added another dimension to his game by playing as a defensive midfielder in the last four games.

He has also played as a full back this same season, while he has also distinguished himself in his primary role as a central defender when he plays there.

Super Eagles midfield hardman Ogenyi Onazi continued his splendid performances for Trabzonspor in the Turkish league by starring in their 4-0 thrashing of Gaziantepspor.

Onazi has been very impressive in their last three games and the former Lazio man started against Gaziantepspor, but had to be substituted after picking up a caution in the 44th minute.

However before his substitution, he was very instrumental in his team commanding 3-0 lead, and after his substitution Ugur Demirok penalty sealed the win for them.

Meanwhile Musa Muhammed was no where near the matchday squad for high flying Istanbul Basaksehir in their 1-0 win over Bursaspor.

Musa is yet to make a league appearance since joining the Turkish side 18 months ago, while in another Turkish top flight game Aminu Umar played 74 minute before making way as his team Osmanlispor forced Genclerbirligi to a 1-1 draw.

Raheem Lawal who left Osmanlispor for fellow Turkish side Kayserispor was one of the star performers for his new team as they shock Fenerbahce 4-1.

Lawal lasted 66 minutes before he was replaced by Landry Nguemo, he however gave a good impression of himself for the duration of time he was on the pitch.

Out of favour Super Eagles midfielder Joel Obi has once again suffered another injury after limping off the pitch in Torino’s 1-1 draw against Atalanta.

Obi has already suffered two injuries this season, and he only recently just returned from another before limping off after 30 minutes after suffering a set back.

Injuries hampered his progress in Inter Milan, and finally made the Milan giants released him to join Torino before the start of last season for a nominal transfer fee.

Meanwhile Nigeria Rio 2016 ace Sadiq Umar returned from a two months injury for his loan side Bologna but was an unused substitute, same as his Nigerian colleague Orji Okonkwo as nine man Bologna drew 1-1 at Cagliari.

Just like the duo of Sadiq and Orji, Simmy Nwankwo was also not needed by Crotone in their 4-1 win over Empoli. The summer signing watched the entire proceeding from the bench.

Super Eagles forward Moses Simon put up a man of the match display to help Gent beat Club champions of Belgium Brugge 2-0.

Simon started on the left flank of a three man attack, and was by far the best player on the pitch for Gent, who also had Samuel Kalu in the starting line up.

Kalu operated from the right and gave a good account of himself before he was substituted with six minutes left to play.

Meanwhile Anderson Esiti was introduced a minute into the second half, while William Troost-Ekong was an unused substitute despite earning rare reviews for his performance on his debut last weekend.

The other Nigerian at the club Rabiu Ibrahim is still out injured and wasn’t listed in the match day squad. The win brightens the chances of Gent qualifying for the play-offs.

Little known Nigerian forward Fred Onyedinma was on for the final 18 minutes for Millwall in their 1-0 win over Watford in the Emirate FA Cup.

Millwall caused one of the upset in this weekend FA Cup fixtures by dumping Watford out of the competition thanks to a goal from Steve Morison five minutes from full time.

Onyedima who was on when Morison scored also played a big part in helping his team survive a late onslaught from Watford, who were eager to level the scores.

20 year old Onyedima was born in England to parent of Nigeria descent and he is been at Millwall since 2013, when he joined their youth set up.

He progressed through the ranks and made his debut in 2014 in the FA Cup tie against Southend United. The Millwall number 10 is yet to be capped by Nigeria or England at any level.

The poor run of Liverpool since the turn of the year continued against Wolverhampton Wanderers as they fell 1-2 to the Championship side in the Emirate FA Cup.

Highly rated Nigerian teen midfielder Ovie Ejaria had a game to forget in the midfield for Liverpool, with the teen star replaced after 74th minute by Emre Can.

Ejaria was guilty of losing possession of the ball from which Wolves capitalise to score one of their goals, in the game where he misplaced several passes.

The former Nigeria U-17 trainee found it hard to gel with Lucas Leiva in the middle, and despite his occasional show of great composure, quick feet and passes, it was a game he would love to forget in a hurry.

Rated highly by the authority at Liverpool, his international future is yet to be resolved with Nigeria keen on luring him to switch allegiance to the Super Eagles after representing England at yout level.

Much travelled 28 year old English born Nigerian left back Korede Aiyegbusi has joined Shakhter Karagandy of Kazakhstan, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Korede Aiyegbusi has travelled the world to fulfil his dream of becoming a professional, making the Londoner the best-known footballer you’ve never heard of.

Brought up near Highbury, a young Aiyegbusi dreamed of playing for Arsenal but ended up beginning his career in Major League Soccer, before taking in Finland, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and Iran.

A few die hard Football Manager fans may have come across the left-back but Aiyegbusi does not mind that he’s a relative unknown in his homeland.

Before moving to America at 17 in an attempt to achieving his lifetime ambition of being paid to play, he had never been associated with any club in England.
