The Africa Cup of Nations set the international football stage ablaze once again through fierce battles out on the field. And whenever this exciting tournament graces the football scene, every fan can expect Nigeria to put on a clinic with their precision and determination.

With their drive and passion, Nigeria’s rising stars look forward to creating their own legacies in the sport’s history. Their chemistry is capable of dishing out impressive offensive plays paired with pressure inducing defense, often making them a huge threat to their rivals. Watch out for these players when watching Nigerian football!

Jerome Akor Adams

It was no surprise that Jerome Akor Adams would be considered as one of the most promising stars in Nigerian football at such an early age. His consistently impressive performance as a forward in Sogndal was recognised by many football pundits and fans, even if his injury left him sidelined for a while. He was so skilled that he made it into the Nigeria under-20 team at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where his offense was a foundation for some of the club’s winning ways.

Today, he plays for the French Ligue 1 football club Montpellier, where he made strides to propel the club as a league leader. His genius when playing football has earned him comparisons to the legendary Nigerian football striker Yakubu Ayegbeni, with peers often saying that Adams’ size is deceptive. Fans who have a bet9ja promo code can see how much Adams will have an effect in the Super Eagles teams standings, and leverage the opportunity. But one thing is for sure, they have a really formidable weapon with Adams.

Gift Orban

Another talented striker, the young gun Gift Orban made a name for himself playing for Norwegian side Stabaek. But to say that Orban is good is an understatement. He is responsible for making 22 goals within his last 27 games! This achievement alone is a significant boost to his football club’s standing within the league.

He is currently signed to play for French side Olympique Lyon. Rivals defending against Orban have to make sure to keep constant pressure, especially since Orban has unmatched ingenuity for manipulating the ball to his favor. He can create spaces to take the ball past defenders and can stay with it too with his excellent footwork. This 21-year old talent is a certain thorn to the Super Eagles’ opponents and is a brilliant piece for offense.

Igoh Ogubu

The Super Eagles also have Igoh Ogubu to rely on at the defensive end of plays. The young defender represented Nigeria at the FIFA U20 World Cup, where he became a highlight for creating defensive stops. His intuition when it comes to ball interception is nothing short of amazing, which has often created game-changing plays that would have secured his club the win.

Ogubu is such an athletic specimen. He is built like a tank, but is deceptively capable when it comes to aerial defense. His agility is also very surprising for strikers that come across him, since his tackles can be difficult to prevent. This defensive prowess was on full display during his games in the Czech First League.

These young upstarts are looking to make a name for themselves for history to remember them as some of the best. But for them to do it, they will have to make sure to work as a team when the Super Eagles need it. Fortunately, their drive and passion seem more than reliable. But more importantly, Nigeria’s legacy in the sport of football will be put in the spotlight once again the moment they lend their talents to the country.

The 26 year old has been approached by Peseiro on his international future and the response was said to be positive, however things will accelerate a lot faster when Peseiro whose deal will run out at the end of the month signs an extension reported to be for the next two years.

He has been monitoring the midfielder for a while, but kept the decision on hold as he was keen on working with the core of the team he met on ground in his bid to meet up with the target of reaching the AFCON semi final.

The nationality switch of former England youth team goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has been approved by world football governing body (FIFA) making him eligible to play for the senior national team of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

22 year old Okonkwo who is on loan to English League Two side Wrexham from Arsenal applied for a switch of nationality to Nigeria from England where he was a junior youth international playing a total of 11 games from U15 to when he had his last cap for the U18 in 2018.

Per what we exclusively gathered FIFA approved the switch making him available for selection by the head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro, however that is dependent on his form with Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali fully established as the new first choice goalkeeper of the team after a splendid showing at the AFCON.

At Wrexham, a third division side he has kept goal in 26 games in all competitions and has 11 clean sheets while conceding just 26 goals in the process. Last season he had a fairly good time with Austrian side Sturm Graz with six clean sheets in 18 games.

Prior to his move to the Austrian side he spent the first half of last season on loan to Crewe Alexandria in League Two where he kept ten clean sheets in 36 games. While his international future is sorted, his club future will be cleared in the summer when he returns back to Arsenal from his present loan spell.

20 year old Nigerian midfielder Christantus Ugonna Uche will wear the colors of Spanish LaLiga side Getafe next season following an agreement for his transfer from third division side AD Ceuta FC, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Getafe beat a host of top division teams in reaching an agreement on his transfer fee which includes Real Betis, a sign of how his astonishing performances this season hasn’t gone unnoticed. Cueta will also receive %20 of his future sale.

A meeting on his signing involving his agent, his present team and the hierarchy of Getafe was held in Madrid. The sporting director of Ceuta, Edu Villegas, and his deputy, Víctor González ensured the meeting ended with an agreement that will see the Nigerian join Gefate on a two year deal starting from next summer.

20 year old Uche was a part of the Nigeria U23 team last year while playing for Moralo in the Spanish fifth division. Third division Cueta picked him up after a season there with the intention of integrating him into their youth team, but he blew their thoughts away and was instantly made a part of the first team by coach José Juan Romero.

So far he has played in all but two games this season making a total of 22 appearances from a possible 24. One of the games he missed was due to technical issues, while the other was down to serving a suspension for accumulated bookings. He has played 90 minutes in every game this season.

Uche only left the Nigerian city of Owerri one year ago to begin his career abroad making his rise to the top league in Spain from the fifth division more astonishing, but also a testament to his ability which is aided by his physique aside other attributes.

The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has five players in his list as possible addition to the team following their second place finish at the Africa Cup of Nations, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Peseiro led the Super Eagles to the final of the tournament where they were beaten 1-2 by the host Cote d’Ivoire. Despite losing the final he surpassed the target set for him by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for a new deal by going past the semi final.

Although there are doubts over his continual stay as coach with Algeria keen on having him as a replacement for sacked coach Djamel Belmadi, Peseiro isn’t leaving the Super Eagles and will take up the option of extending his stay with the team when his current deal expires at the end of the month.

Not even the prospect of earning €208,000 a month as salary swayed him and he is already focused on the next chapter with the Nigerian team, starting from the game against Argentina during the international window in March.

As a matter of fact a source close to the coach revealed he has already drawn up areas that he will be willing to have more options and has players in mind already. Some of the players have been sounded out already.

The list includes two midfielders, a new goalkeeper and one left footed defender who we gathered was a former youth international for an European country. Also some players like Nathan Tella who missed out on selection for the AFCON are expected to be part of the team going forward with Peseiro at the helm.

Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has slammed the door on taking up the vacant managerial position of the senior national team of Algeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Peseiro is the top priority of the Algerian FA as a replacement for sacked coach Djamel Belmadi after leading the Nigerian team to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in ten years.

Algeria will give him a monthly pay of around €280,000 a month, a huge increase on his present salary of $60,000 with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), but it appears he isn’t interested in the offer and prefers to stay in his role as the coach of the Super Eagles.

” He (Peseiro) has been told by some highly placed Nigerians that he has to stay and he is open to it. The reception and also meeting the president of Nigeria who gifted him a house and a national honor also played a role in his desire to stay”, a source close to the coach revealed.

” The idea is to go back to Portugal, spend some time with his family and head out with the team to the United States of America for the friendly game against World Cup winners Argentina in March. As a matter of fact, the list will be prepared by him very soon”, he concluded.

Following the viral picture of Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji showing a tattoo of the logo of the senior national team of Nigeria on his arm, OwnGoalNigeria.com has an idea on why the 27 year old did it.

Akanji was born in Neftenbach, Switzerland, to a Swiss mother and a Nigerian father making him eligible for both countries, but at the age of 23 he was handed his senior debut by the country of his birth, making the step up from the various youth level teams he played for them.

However he still hasn’t forgotten his roots and proudly celebrated with a Nigerian flag around his waist when City won the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history last season.

He played the entire duration of his team’s 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the summer. He started the move that led to the only goal of the game scored by Rodri. So far he has been one of the bargain signings of the Etihad outfit.

The full fledged Switzerland senior international with 49 caps, the 27 year old showed he hasn’t forgotten his Nigerian roots when he picked up a Nigerian flag thrown at him from the crowd in Istanbul while celebrating his team’s win.

Reacting to a comment on his social media page after the final, he replied someone who asked why he has a Nigerian flag around his waist by saying ” I feel so Nigerian”. That probably also explains why he has the logo of the Super Eagles tattooed on his arm.

Signed for a fee of around £12m from Borrusia Dortmund, he was supposed to play the role of a back up defender to the regulars, but he took his chance and stamped his feet in the starting lineup with his versatility across the back four also a factor.

The planned friendly game between Argentina and the senior national team of Nigeria will still go ahead  despite the decision of the host of the game China cancelling the agreement, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Chinese sporting authority cancelled the deal to host the March international friendly game between Argentina and Nigeria after a row with Argentina superstar Lionel Messi over his non participation in a friendly game in Hong Kong, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Messi was due to play in a friendly game for his team Inter Miami against Hong Kong XI, but didn’t play in the game due to a groin injury which angered thousands of fans who turned up to catch a glimpse of the reigning best player in the world, who they were told will play in the game.

The game will still hold in March but at a date that will be communicated after an agreement is reached by both parties. We exclusively gathered that the game will now be played in the United States of America.

Argentina will also take on El Salvador in another friendly game, Nigeria are also shopping for another game in the international window as they look to build on the success of finishing as runners up in the recently completed Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

They lost 1-2 to the host in the final game, and the game against Argentina will be their first warm up game in preparation for the resumption of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, where they will take on South Africa in Uyo in June.

” But when I started, obviously I started it bare UK man started coming in more or less innit. But at the same time for example William Troost-Ekong he is not fully Nigerian, he is from Holland and then there was Leon Balogun who is from Germany. So I was with them man. But then now bare UK man.
