helsea Defender Kenneth Omeruo Confirms Offers From Turkey,Wants England Stay Published: July 23, 2017 Kenneth Omeruo has confirmed that he has received offers from Turkish clubs but his priority is to continue his career with an English club.

e Nigeria international is in talks with newly promoted Turkish Super Lig club Göztepe S.K, while Sivasspor and Yeni Malatyaspor are also interested in his services.

''Yes, I do have offers for Turkey but I am focused at staying in England should the right opportunity present itself. If not, I will consider alternative options,'' Omeruo told The Nation newspaper.

''The EPL is a great league. Very challenging and one that I know I can handle when given the chance.''

Chelsea are preparing to bid farewell to the Super Eagles star before the close of the summer transfer window, as they are seeking an outright sale, rather than loaning him out again.

The 23-year-old has spent the last five years on loan at ADO Den Haag, Middlesbrough, Kasımpaşa and Alanyaspor.

Magpies to bid N4.65 Billion Bid For Seyi Ojo.

  Newcastle United have stepped up their pursuit of English Under 20 world cup winner Sheyi Ojo.

The Sun says manager Rafa Benitez has opened a line of communication with Jurgen Klopp over signing Ojo on a permanent basis after a loan move was turned down by the Anfield side.

And it has been claimed that Ojo was omitted from Liverpool's trip to Asia on Sunday to enable him thrash out a deal with the Magpies.

Newcastle United will test the Reds resolve to hold onto the England U20 World Cup star by making a bid in the region of ten million pounds (N4.65 billion).

The 20-year-old Ojo joined Liverpool in 2011 from Milton Keynes Dons, and has 13 first team appearances to his name.

 Oghenekaro Etebo may Join Leicester.

Futbol Gastesi in a post on their official twitter handle says the CD Feirense star is a prime target for Leicester City and Turkish side Fenerbahce who are both looking to strengthen their team in this window.
While Etebo is more inclined to moving to Leicester City, the report has it that Fenerbahce have not given up yet on his chase, as they are also in Portugal to convince Feirense to do a deal.
Feirense are opened to the idea of letting the forward leave but their terms and valuation of the man who joined them 18 months ago must be ‎met by interested parties.
A price tag of around 20 million euros has been placed on him by the team, but it is believed he will be allowed to leave for a fee in the region of 10 million euros plus add ons.

Spanish La-Liga side Malaga are close to finalising the transfer of Nigeria Rio 2016 star Imoh Ezekiel,

The 23 year old who was ever present for Nigeria at the Rio 2016 Olympic where they won bronze is apparently frustrated with life in Qatar where he plays for Al-Arabi following his shock move two seasons ago.
Malaga cashed in on his unhappiness in Qatar, and with a year left to run on his current deal he could be allow to leave on a cheap by the Qatari side who risk losing him for free in 12 months time when his contract runs out.
This season, he has ‎found the back of the net 8 times in 24 games despite playing as a winger in most of the games he has featured for the team as opposed to his role as the main striker.

Odion Ighalo Scores In Third Consecutive Game For Chinese Side

Odion Ighalo has recaptured the form that made Chinese side Chanchung Yatai paid English Premier League side Watford big money to sign him in January as his brace powered them to a 3-2 win over Guangzhou R&F.
The brace took his goal tally to four in three game following his strikes in their previous game against Beijing Guoan and Shanghai SIPG respectively. Overall he now has six goals from 15 League games in the Chinese Super League.
Ighalo who is presently the highest paid Nigerian footballer ‎opened scoring for his team, but they were six minutes away from drawing 2-2 against Guangzhou R&F before he popped up with the winner one minute to regulation time.
His form in front of goal ‎has been pivotal in Chanchung Yatai rise in the table as they are now 9th on the 16 team table in the Chinese Super League as opposed to three weeks ago when they were 13th on the log.

‘Olivier more likely to leave than Alexis’

Olivier Giroud is now more likely to leave Arsenal than Alexis Sanchez, according to the Daily Telegraph.
With Alexandre Lacazette likely to complete his move from Lyon this week, Giroud ‘wants reassurances about his first-team future’ that will surely not be forthcoming.

Arsene Wenger is keen to keep Giroud at the club as a more physical striker (and also because he is incapable of selling anybody he likes), but Everton, West Ham and Marseille are all said to be interested.
Giroud himself has said: “I won a few titles in my career, that is an important thing, but there is another thing which is important for me.
“And that’s [that] the people [see you as a] loyal warrior on the pitch – that you always give your best for the team.
“And that’s why I want to carry on my good journey at Arsenal and I always want to give my best.
“I would love to win another title, or maybe more until the end of my contract. The motivation is here, always doing your best to make your family proud.”
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have been priced out of a move for Sanchez and Arsenal are very reluctant to sell him to Manchester City.
The Telegraph go on to say that ‘Arsenal still want another attacking signing, with Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe or Thomas Lemar the two priorities’. It is thought that Riyad Mahrez is another option; it seems a long time since that was definitely a done deal.

“I watched Swansea a lot last season when they played Chelsea and on TV.

 Dessers – Rohr Told Me To Switch Teams If I Want Eagles Shirt

Sup‎er Eagles hopeful Cyril Dessers has confirmed few details of the chat he had with the senior nat‎ional team coach of Nigeria Gernot Rohr about his chances of representing Nigeria.
Dessers who is also eligible for Belgium has voiced out his preference for Nigeria ahead of senior national team of Belgium, and the 22 year old says he has been contacted by coach Rohr.
He reckoned he had a chat with the Franco-German coach of the Nigerian national team who told him to switch teams if he wants to challenge the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi and Olarewaju Kayode for a spot in his team.
Already he has heed to the manager’s advice as he left newly promoted NAC Breda, where he plundered 22 league goals to fire them to promotion to the top division for FC Utrecht also in the top division in Holland.
” Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa are the two undisputed men in my position, not forgetting Olarewaju Kayode who plays for Austria Wien. After them there’s a spot. I did had contact with the coach some few weeks back and he advise me to take a step higher. Hence my move to Utrecht to prove myself worthy of selection for Nigeria “, he told Sports/Football Magazine.

” I will be happy to play for either Nigeria or Belgium, but playing for Belgium is a little bit complicated, as all the strikers in front of me above 30 years and might all leave in the next three years, I would have been patient for an opportunity, but that is not the case.
” The World Cup 2018 is around the corner. If I score 20 goals for Utrecht and one of the strikers missed out through injury, I might have a chance. I hope my dream of wearing the Nigeria shirt draws near in few months time”.
