Former 36 Lions forward Victory Omodiagbe has signed a three year deal with Egyptian Premier League team Petrojet SC. The team fondly referred to as Egyptian Barcelona by fans of the team.

The 19 year old had a short trial with Sfaxien of Tunisia in April, as exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com but wasn’t offered a deal by the Tunisian, who were looking for a replacement for Omodiagbe’s ex 36 Lions teammate Junior Ajayi shortly after his move to Al-Ahly.

Omodiagbe trained with the Flying Eagles team of 2015 prior to the African Youth Championship in Senegal, and even made the preliminary list of 35 players for the tournament.

However he missed out on the final list of players for the tournament which Nigeria won, despite scoring close to four goals for the team during test games while in camp.

He was reportedly on the radar of Belgium champions KAA Gent as at 2014, and also had trials with some teams abroad without bagging a deal.

Benjamin Onwuachi has moved to newly promoted Greek side Aiginiakos from fellow Greek side Ionikos on free transfer, Owngoalnigeria.com can reveal.

32 year old Onwuachi only joined Ionikos in January from Lebanese side Salam Zgharta, a team he moved to on a free transfer as well.

The forward has in the last eight transfer windows moved on a free transfer since leaving Greek side Kavala in 2009.

In 2004, he was touted as one of the future stars of Italian giants Juventus but his career failed to hit the expected height which made the Turin based side release him in the summer of 2005.

Manchester City on loan midfielder Chidiebere Nwakali is slowly turning into the most important player for his loan side Start, with his third goal of the season coming in their 1-4 loss to Aalesund.

The Nigerian opened scoring in the 18th minute for his relegation haunted side, but was helpless in stopping them from falling 1-4 behind after the visitors Aalesund scored three second half goals.

Nwakali, elder brother to Arsenal summer signing Kelechi Nwakali has rediscovered his form that lead to Manchester City signing him and Kelechi Iheanacho in 2015, as he has so far made 20 appearances for Start.

19 year old Nwakali had a torrid time during his previous loan spells at Malaga and Girona but for Start, he has grown into one of the main men for the relegation battlers.

Reports indicate, he will be sent out on another loan spell by Manchester City when the Norwegian league comes to an end before the end of the year.

He could end up in the Netherlands where his younger brother Kelechi recently moved to on loan from English giants Arsenal.

Nigeria international Gbolahan Salami scored two second half goals to lead his Finnish side KuPS to a hard earned 2-1 win over Mariehamn in a Veikkausliiga game.

Salami grabbed his brace in six minutes, with his first coming via the spot in the 57th minute before netting his second in the 63rd minute to help his side win 2-1 in front of their home fans.

The brace took his goals tally for the season to 10 goals with four in his last five games in the league. A sign of how much of an influence he has had in helping KuPS keep their dream of European football alive.

He was one of four Nigerians who played in the game for the Finnish side, with his Nigerian compatriot of Paul Onobi, Azubuike Egwuekwe and Aliyu Abubakar also on for the entire duration of the tie.

Egwuekwe got booked in the 63rd minute, the 5th booking for the 25 year old which rules him out of their next league tie.

Former Manchester City fans favourite Trevor Sinclair has urged manager Pep Guardiola to start Nigerian teen prospect Kelechi Iheanacho, ahead of Spanish forward Nolito in tomorrow’s game against Manchester United.

Iheanacho is facing a battle on his hands to start against their city rivals with new signing Leroy Sane fully fit and Nolito highly favoured to play alongside Raheem Sterling and Kevin de Bruyne in attack.

The Nigerian warmed up for the derby clash with a wonder strike for Nigeria in a dead rubber AFCON 2017 tie against Tanzania, which gave Nigeria a 1-0 win in new manager Gernot Rohr first game in charge.

His goal scoring prowess according to Sinclair while speaking to Premier League TV news said the record of the teen forward makes him one of the few players who could decide the tie in City’s forward.

” He has a very good goal scoring record among all the strikers available to the manager, following the ban to Sergio Kun Aguero. I expect him to start. He is someone who can decide the game in Man City’s forward” He said.

“It wasn’t a great experience in the build-up in Atlanta. There was no food for the guys, no bus to go to training, no pitch to train on” Mikel said.

‘Coming into the team I tried to help as much as I can. The boys had suffered for two years, working very hard trying to play in Rio. I wanted to help as much as I could and they all say they owe me. It’s a great achievement that we managed to go there and win a medal.’

The chances of Spanish giants Real Madrid completing a deal for highly rated Nigerian teen wonder Suleiman Abdullahi has been drastically reduced, following the transfer ban placed on the team by European football governing body UEFA.

As exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com on the 10th of June, officials of Real Madrid sounded out the teen who also won the award of the Most Valuable Player (MVP) at the tournament. But a deal for him could be off following the transfer ban on the Spanish giants.

Roma are now the clear favourite to land the forward. Thanks to their very good relationship with the handlers and owners of Spezia, the team from which Roma got Sadiq Umar and Nura Abdullahi via Football Academy Abuja.
