The new coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro rounded up his scouting mission to Ilorin by watching ABS FV against Mighty Jets in a Nigeria National League game.

Peseiro was in Kwara state for the Nigeria Professional Football League game between Kwara United and Sunshine Stars which ended 1-0 in favour of the home team. The idea was to see players with potentials who could fit into his team.

He watched the entire duration of the game alongside his assistance but it was the next day that he openly showed his excitement at full whistle as he spoke with two players from ABS in Benjamin Frederick and Mohammed Ibrahim.

The coach had a word with the duo and told the management of the team that he will recommend them to the coach of the CHAN team Salisu Yusuf when preparation for the qualifiers for the next CHAN begins.

Frederick was a part of Ladan Bosso U20 team that won the WAFU U20 Championship but he didn’t get to play. The Simoiben Academy graduate is said to be on the radar of teams from France, Belgium and Spain.

The recent attack by former coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Sunday Oliseh on former captain of the team John Obi Mikel is down to intimidation according to a player who was with them at the time they fell out.

Oliseh was in the new recently when he said Wilfred Nididi is a better player as a defensive midfielder than Mikel. Saying the former Chelsea man lacked some basics needed to be successful in that role.

He said it was why he benched Mikel during his short reign as coach of the team. The former Ajax man famously picked Paul Onobi then ahead of Mikel, a move he said was down to the ex captain not willing to play the way he wants him to.

” I think he was intimdated by Mikel’s status. He made reference to it severally saying because you are playing for Chelsea doesn’t make you better or bigger than I was during my days. Even before he benched him, we all knew because from the get go they didn’t get along”,a former player told OwnGoalNigeria.com.

” It wasn’t just Mikel to be honest. He fell out with most of the big name in the team back then. Of course the case of Vincent Enyeama made the headline but he also verbally attacked Elderson Echijile severally to the point that he broke into tears. His reign as coach was toxic”, he concluded.

Switzerland top division side Grasshoppers have announced the sacking of former Super Eagles midfielder Seyi Olofinjana as the sporting director of the club.

The club made this known in an announcement on their official website saying the decision to let go of Olofinjana and the managing director of the club was reached after talks with both men.

“The Grasshopper Club Zurich announces changes in the management today. After internal discussions, the club mutually agreed to the immediate termination of the employment relationship with Managing Director Jimmy Berisha and Technical Director Seyi Olofinjana”,reads a statement on the club’s website.

“In the past few weeks, intensive talks have been held about the future of the club. In these open and fair discussions, the parties came to the joint decision to go their separate ways in the future”, it further stated.

President of the club Sky Sun also paid tribute to both men praising them for their role in the team finishing 8th last season but hinted that the decision to shake things up brought about their exit from the team.

“As a club with a great legacy and ambitious visions, we must aim to continuously advance this and to challenge ourselves on a regular basis. After the open discussions and in view of the different views on the future orientation of the club, it was agreed that a change in the management team was unavoidable. In the best interests of the club’s future, the Board of Directors has come to this decision together with the parties involved in order to be able to continue to pursue the ambitious goals in the years to come,”  President Sky Sun said.

“I would like to thank Jimmy and Seyi for their trust and the always constructive and professional cooperation. Both have made important contributions to the club and guided GC through an important chapter in its history. Jimmy has played a pivotal role in bringing this new project to fruition over the past two years and has been able to put GC back on track by being instrumental in their promotion to the Super League. Since day one, Seyi has always shown great commitment and dedicated himself to every challenge with passion. Through his work, he ensured, among other things, that we were able to tackle the past season with a competitive team. I wish both of them all the best for their personal and professional future and thank them very much for their commitment”.

A new sporting director and general manager will be announced soon per the statement by the club.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will consider a ban on goalkepper Maduka Okoye if it is confirmed that he deliberately skipped the last six games of the Super Eagles, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Okoye hasn’t kept goal for the senior national team of Nigeria since the round of 16 0-1 loss to Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations. He was largely blamed for the goal that saw Nigeria exit the tournament.

He was however called up for the World Cup qualifiers playoff against Ghana, but he skipped the two legged ill fated game with what sources said was a deliberate move owing to the barrage of online abuse he suffered following his error in the 0-1 loss to Tunisia.

That game led to the firing of the technical crew of the team and a new set handled by Jose Peseiro was put in charge. Okoye was once again called up for the friendly games against Mexico and Ecuador respectively in the United States of America.

As it was for the game against Ghana he skipped both games and the subsequent AFCON 2023 qualifiers against Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principe respectively, bringing to six the amount of games he has missed since after the AFCON exit.

His excuse for missing the game was that he was recuperating from a shoulder injury picked up while in goal for Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam. Recent reports suggest otherwise.

” We heard from some of the backroom staff that he is skipping these games deliberately. Not a nice thing to do as he can properly communicate that he wants to be left out. Let’s see how it goes because if same thing happens during the next international window. We will explore the option of barring him from the team”, a top official at the NFF told OwnGoalnigeria.com.

” It’s unprofessional to skip games with flimsy excuses and we have also heard what happened at the AFCON where he was said to be rude to some of his teammates and coaches. He need to change his attitude else he will be shown the exit door. No player is bigger than the team”, he stated.

The immediate future of former Nigeria U17 trainee Malcolm Ebiowei has been one of the talking point of this summer transfer window as he nears the end of his contract with relegated English Championship side Derby County.

Ebiowei was one of the few success story of what was a very difficult season for Derby County which started with a hefty point deduction that later played a role in their demotion to the English third tier.

He signed a one year deal when he joined on a free transfer from Scottish side Rangers and his deal will expire by the end of the month, making him free to join any club and as expected he has offers from top teams.

Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Manchester United are the three teams rumoured to be keen on signing him this summer with Manchester United reportedly having an edge over their rivals.

Aside from the fact that they are the biggest among the teams interested in signing the 18 year old. Wayne Rooney who gave him a shot at senior football is a legend of the club and want him to join them.

Rooney is said to have told the winger who trained with the 2019 U17 team to accept a move to United, where it is expected that he will be loaned out to gain more experience with new coach Erik Ten Haag set to begin a rebuilding of the club.

A decision is expected to be known by the end of the month with the winger also keen on sorting out his future on time so he can be available for pre season with his new team. He made 16 appearances last season with a goal to his name. He is a nephew to the first assistant coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Finidi George.

Hot in demand Super Eagles and Nantes of France winger Moses Simon is in talks with English Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion over a summer move, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Simon is a subject of interest from several clubs after picking up another ten plus goal contribution for the third season in a row in a team that is largely set out to defend. He scored six goals and provided eight assists in 30 Ligue 1 games last season.

Nantes turned down a bid of around €10m last summer but they are now open to the prospect of selling him for same amount as opposed to their asking price of €15m last summer.

The Nigerian who will turn 27 next month is however not keen on a move away with Nantes set to play in the Europa League next season. Nantes are however pushing for his sale with two years left on his deal.

Brighton and Hove Albion are for now the front runners ahead of several teams with preliminary talks already held with the player’s representative per what we exclusively gathered. A decision will be made if a fee that matches Nantes valuation is submitted by the English side.

20 year old Nigerian midfielder Abdulrazak Ishaq will be unveiled as a new player of Belgium side Anderlecht after passing a routine medical check, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.

He will be joining the team on a five year deal from Swedish side IFK Norrköping , where he has spent the last two years of his career developing into one of the most highly rated young players in the league.

” Ishaq has passed his medicals with Anderlecht. We expect him to be signed this week if all goes as planned”, an official of his nursery team in Kaduna state exclusively told OwnGoalNigeria.com.

“Golden boy” as the former Unity Academy of Kaduna prospect is called by friends and admirers was a part of the 2017 Nigeria U17 team which failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Two years ago he moved to Sweden after impressing scouts at a tournament in Ghana. Since moving to IFK Norrköping he has played a total of 61 games with two goals to his credit. He has been majorly played as a right winger of a center midfielder.

Relegated English Premier League side Watford have reached an agreement with the representative of Nigeria international Emmanuel Dennis to leave the club this summer, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Dennis was one of the breakthrough stars of the English Premier League last season scoring a total of 11 but it wasn’t sufficient enough to keep Watford in the top flight of English football.

Chased by several clubs after the relegation of Watford, they were fears that Watford will want to keep him to aid their chances of an immediate return to the English Premier League, but after talks with his representative he has been granted his desire to leave.

Watford however made it clear that only a fee in the region of £20m with add ons and a future sell on percentage will be entertained for the 24 year old who still has four years on his deal at the club.

For now West Ham United are the only club linked with a move for him but things are expected to heat up soon with his representatives now at liberty to sound out other clubs over his availability.

Union Berlin and Nigeria international forward Taiwo Awoniyi is few details away from joining newly promoted English Premier League side Nottingham Forest on a four year deal.

Awoniyi and his agent are meeting with officials of the English Premier League side in Greece. We exclusively gathered that an agreement on his wages have been reached all that is left is for a transfer fee to be agreed with Union Berlin.

24 year old Awoniyi is keen on the move to England as it is the wish of his wife to settle there. His desire made him to turn down a move to fellow German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

A fee of €20m has been pegged as his buy out clause with Nottingham Forest expected to meet it with ease. His former club  Liverpool are due a percentage from his proposed sale as they had a sell on clause inserted in the deal that took him to the club last summer.

He scored 15 goals in 31 Bundesliga games last season and also made the Nigerian team to the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. He hasn’t been called up since then but new coach Jose Peseiro is reportedly keeping a close watch on him.
