The captain of the Nigeria U20 team Daniel Daga has been convicted of sexual activity without consent and sentenced to six months in prison, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

The 19 year old stood before Nordmøre and Romsdal District Court for having committed a sexual act against a person who did not consent to it.

However the player has through his defense attorney, notified an appeal of the verdict. The case is therefore not legally binding, and it will be processed further in the legal system according to a statement by his club Molde.

Molde say Daga will not be part of the match squad until further notice due to the situation and the ongoing legal process

Daga joined Molde last year from Enyimba after excelling for the Nigeria U20 team at the world cup.

19 year old Liverpool midfielder Afolami Onanuga trained with the first‑team squad of Liverpool ahead of the trip to Turkey for the UEFA Champions League round of 17 game against Galatasaray, offering a glimpse of another highly rated youngster edging closer to the senior picture.

Onanuga, nicknamed “Fola”, is a 19‑year‑old box‑to‑box midfielder who signed his first professional contract with Liverpool in November 2023 after progressing through the academy since joining as an under‑11 from grassroots football in Manchester.

Despite training with the first team, Onanuga failed to make the final in 21-man sqaud that travelled for the game later today.

The Nigerian‑born, England‑eligible prospect has been a standout for Marc Bridge‑Wilkinson’s under‑18s, known for carrying the ball forward, linking play and affecting games in the final third, and he has already made the step up to feature for the under‑21s.

As for his international future, a source close to the player revealed his outmost desire is to play for the senior national team of Nigeria, due to his strong Nigerian heritage.

” I spoke about him when he (Fola) signed his contract in 2023 and it’s still the same desire to play for Nigeria. However the focus now is on making the first team of Liverpool before any talks of international football”, he said.

The president of Galatasaray has reacted to the viral reports of Victor Osimhen’s future at the club as the summer transfer window draws near, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Osimhen is widely expected to leave the Turkish side in the summer with Italian Serie A side Juventus seen by many as the front runners for his signing.

However reports say there is a clause in the transfer deal that saw him move from Napoli to Galatasaray, barring him from joining any Italian side until 2027.

That clause according to so many reports is why a potential move to Juventus will be complicated, as there is a penalty that Galatasaray will pay if they violate it by agreeing a deal with an Italian side.

The Turkish club’s president Dursun Ozbek told Fanatik: “There is no release clause in Osimhen’s contract. He is an extremely successful footballer who will serve Galatasaray for many years,” Ozbek said.

“Perhaps the amount was considered high on the day we signed him, but today the prevailing view in football circles is that the transfer fee was low and the player’s value is much higher.”

Nigeria international midfielder Ebenezer Akinsamiro will return to his parent owners Inter Milan at the end of the season after failing to bag a permanent deal at fellow Serie A side Pisa, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Akinsamiro joined the team on loan from inter Milan in the summer with an option of making the deal permanent, if he makes certain number of appearances and they keep their Serie A status.

Staying in the Serie A looks highly unlikely for the newly promoted side , and Akinsamiro has struggled to win his spot back in the team since his return from the AFCON with Nigeria.

The form that saw him gatecrash the Nigerian team seems to have deserted him, and a decision on his future has been made, and it’s largely why he hasn’t played much lately.

Pisa have resigned to fate that they will be playing in the second division next season, hence are more inclined to playing players that will be part of their campaign next season.

Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle says some people are against him keeping his position as the head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Chelle who led the Super Eagles to a third place finish at the AFCON still has a year to run on his deal, but the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in agreement with the National Sports Commission (NSC) agreed to extend his deal to cover two more years.

However the talks have stalled largely due to the demands of the coach , which was leaked to the media in the wake of reports linking him with the vacant position at French Ligue 1 side Marseille.

The coach took exception to the fact that a confidential information like his demands for a new deal was leaked to the media, and feels it’s a calculated attempt by some people to get him sacked.

” I really wonder who put it out there and why. The only reason will be for me to be fired because I am aware some people don’t want me to continue as the coach but I have one more year to go on my contract, and I am looking forward to it”, the coach said.
