Rangers target Blackburn’s Alebiosu to fill Tavernier void

Scottish giants Rangers have identified Nigerian defender Ryan Alebiosu as a leading candidate to replace long serving captain James Tavernier at right back. With Tavernier widely expected to leave Ibrox at the end of the season, the club is actively scouring the market for defensive reinforcements and has zeroed in on Alebiosu following his impressive performances in England. The 23 year old full back is under contract with Blackburn Rovers until 2028 and has also attracted interest from Serie A side Genoa, Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg and Premier League club Everton. Blackburn’s uncertain league position could influence negotiations, with reports suggesting relegation fears might force the club to consider a lower fee than originally expected. As Rangers prepare for a new era beyond Tavernier, Alebiosu’s energy, versatility and development potential make him a strong option to fill the looming void on […]

EPL: Arsenal eye return to top spot, Spurs fight for survival

Arsenal can reclaim top spot in the Premier League this weekend while Tottenham Hotspur face a desperate scrap for survival at the bottom of the table. Mikel Arteta’s side go into the round level with Manchester City on 70 points after 33 matches, with both teams boasting a goal difference of +37. City lead only on goals scored and are on FA Cup duty against Southampton, giving Arsenal the chance to move back above them when they host Newcastle on Saturday evening. The Gunners saw a nine point advantage evaporate and lost 2–1 to City at the Etihad last weekend, but they are viewed as having the easier run in on paper. If they beat or even draw with Newcastle, they will return to the summit, and they also play before City again next week, meaning they could be six […]

NFF steps up pursuit of Newcastle’s Osula for Eagles

The Nigeria Football Federation has intensified efforts to convince Newcastle United forward William Osula to switch his international allegiance from Denmark to the Super Eagles. The 22 year old, who joined Newcastle from Sheffield United, has enjoyed a surge in form in recent weeks after a slow start to the season, highlighted by a decisive goal against Manchester United that boosted his profile in the Premier League. Osula, who has Nigerian roots and has endeared himself to local fans with a viral clip of him cooking Ogbono soup while playfully mocking opponents, remains eligible to represent multiple countries. Born in Copenhagen to a Danish mother and a Nigerian French father, he has played for Denmark at youth level and recently received a senior call up but is yet to make a competitive appearance. Reports suggest the NFF has opened contacts […]

Spain’s Lamine Yamal sidelined with hamstring injury but expected to be fit for World Cup

Spain winger Lamine Yamal has suffered a hamstring injury but is still expected to be fit in time for this summer’s 2026 World Cup, Barcelona have confirmed.​ “Tests have confirmed that first team player Lamine Yamal has a hamstring injury in his left leg,” the club said in a statement on Thursday. Barca added that the teenager will undergo conservative treatment, will miss the rest of the season, but “is expected to be available for the World Cup,” which runs from 11 June to 19 July.​ Yamal picked up the injury in Barcelona’s 1–0 La Liga win over Celta Vigo on Wednesday. The 18 year old won and converted the decisive penalty but immediately pulled up in pain after scoring past goalkeeper Ionut Radu, calling for treatment and lying on the turf while team mates celebrated. He was replaced by […]

Osimhen: Ex sporting director backs De Laurentiis over rejected €200m PSG offer

Former Napoli sporting director Mauro Meluso says club president Aurelio De Laurentiis was right to reject a reported €200 million joint offer from Paris Saint Germain for Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in 2023.​ Speaking on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, Meluso explained that De Laurentiis did not want to weaken the squad immediately after winning the Scudetto and felt that selling both star forwards at once would have sent the wrong message to the dressing room and fans.​ “Should Osimhen and Kvara have been sold together to PSG immediately after their third Scudetto? At that point, De Laurentiis didn’t want to weaken Napoli,” he said, insisting the decision was taken for the good of the club rather than purely financial reasons.​ Meluso admitted that, with hindsight, some might argue the sale should have gone through, but maintained that offloading both […]

No FIFA plans to replace Iran with Italy at World Cup

FIFA has no plans to replace Iran with Italy at this summer’s World Cup despite a proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Paolo Zampolli.​ Speculation over Iran’s participation had grown because of the ongoing war involving the U.S., Israel and Iran, but world football’s governing body has reaffirmed that Iran will take part as scheduled. Zampolli, an Italian‑American and long‑time Trump ally, told the Financial Times he had suggested to both Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino that four‑time champions Italy be invited to take Iran’s place at the U.S.‑hosted tournament.​ “I confirm I have suggested to Trump and Infantino that Italy replace Iran at the World Cup,” Zampolli said, describing it as a “dream” to see the Azzurri at a World Cup staged in the United States. Italy failed to qualify for a third straight World Cup […]

EPL: Chelsea’s slump deepens with 3–0 loss to Brighton

Chelsea’s miserable season hit a new low on Tuesday as they slumped to a 3–0 defeat away to Brighton, further damaging their hopes of qualifying for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Goals from Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck condemned Liam Rosenior’s side to a fifth straight Premier League loss without scoring, the first time Chelsea have suffered such a run since 1912. The result means the Blues have now lost seven of their last eight games in all competitions and won just one of their past nine league matches. Chelsea sit seventh on the table, seven points adrift of fifth placed Liverpool, with only the top five guaranteed Champions League football under the league’s current allocation. Unless they can quickly arrest their slide, Rosenior’s men risk missing out on European competition altogether. The pressure on the manager is […]

Falcons remain Africa’s best as Nigeria lasses rise to 36th in FIFA rankings

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have climbed to 36th place in the latest FIFA Women’s World Rankings, tightening their grip as Africa’s top ranked women’s national team. The Justine Madugu led side moved up one spot from 37th after a 3 1 victory over Cameroon in a friendly match last month. Despite limited fixtures, the result was enough to boost their global standing. The ten time African champions continue to lead the continent comfortably. South Africa’s Banyana Banyana are second in Africa and 58th in the world, followed by Ghana’s Black Queens in 59th, Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in 62nd and Zambia in 64th to complete Africa’s top five. Nigeria’s rise comes in spite of recent inactivity caused by the late cancellation of planned friendlies against Cape Verde. Before that setback, the Falcons had split results in a two match friendly series against […]

Turkish Cup: Osimhen cleared for Gala comeback as Madrid join race for ace striker

Victor Osimhen is set to make his comeback tonight as Galatasaray host Gençlerbirliği in the Turkish Cup quarter final at Rams Park, in a return that coincides with reports that Real Madrid have joined Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the battle for the Super Eagles striker. Osimhen only returned to full training last week after recovering from an arm injury sustained in the Champions League round of 16 clash against Liverpool, which sidelined him for four consecutive league matches. According to Turkish outlet Sabah, he is expected to feature for about 15 to 20 minutes against Gençlerbirliği as coach Okan Buruk carefully manages his workload ahead of Sunday’s high stakes Intercontinental Derby against Fenerbahçe. Galatasaray sit four points clear at the top of the Turkish Süper Lig after a 2 1 away win over Gençlerbirliği at the weekend, a game […]

Kompany turns down World Cup pundit job to prioritise family

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has revealed that he rejected several offers to work as a television pundit during the upcoming World Cup, saying he wants to use the break to rest and spend time with his family. Broadcasters in England reportedly approached the Belgian coach ahead of the tournament, which will be staged across the United States, Canada and Mexico, but he made it clear he had no intention of taking on extra work. “No chance, no chance,” Kompany replied, cutting in before a reporter could even finish a question about the offers. “What am I supposed to do, work as a TV pundit on holiday? I won’t have a family left in Munich next year,” he joked at a press conference before Wednesday’s DFB Pokal semi final against Bayer Leverkusen. He doubled down in a lighter tone, repeating […]
