Manchester United Legend Nicky Butt Wants Osimhen At Old Trafford

Manchester United legend Nicky Butt has called on the club’s hierarchy to make a summer move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Butt believes the Galatasaray forward is the kind of powerful, complete number nine United need to lead the line at Old Trafford. Speaking in recent interviews, the former midfielder argued that while current striker Benjamin Sesko has potential, he is not yet ready to carry the team’s attack on his own. He described Osimhen as quick, strong and aggressive, with the ability to run in behind, hold up play and score different types of goals, including headers. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray from Napoli in a record deal last summer, has continued his prolific form in Turkey with 19 goals in 29 appearances this season. Butt said players from the Turkish Super Lig are generally “gettable” in the transfer market […]

International Friendly: Jordan Deny Eagles With Late Equaliser

The Super Eagles of Nigeria were denied back to back friendly wins after being held to a 2–2 draw by Jordan in Antalya, Turkey. Nigeria came from behind to lead 2–1, but a late equaliser from substitute Mohammad Al Daoud ensured the game ended all square. Jordan drew first blood in the 17th minute through Mousa Al Tamari, who finished off a well worked move to beat the Nigerian defence. Nigeria responded before the half hour mark when captain on the night Moses Simon drilled home to restore parity. Debutant Emmanuel Fernandez then gave the Eagles the lead shortly before halftime, arriving unmarked at the back post to slot in Nigeria’s second. The West Africans looked in control for large spells and created chances to extend their advantage but failed to convert. Jordan stayed in the contest and were rewarded […]

Alex Iwobi Says His Parents Taught Him The Art Of Giving

Super Eagles and Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi says his parents played a central role in teaching him the value of giving and caring for others. He explained that many of his charitable activities today are shaped by simple acts of kindness he watched at home while growing up. Iwobi recalled how his father would leave bottles of water outside for waste collectors and support people around their neighbourhood in small but consistent ways. Those little gestures, he said, showed him that helping others does not always require grand resources, only a genuine desire to make life easier for people. He noted that this mindset now guides his approach to community work. For him, success as a footballer is not just about goals and trophies, but also about using his platform to give back. In recent years, Iwobi has organised charity […]

How internal power tussle and filing errors cost Super Eagles 2026 World Cup ticket

Nigeria’s failure to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been linked to serious administrative errors and turf battles between the Nigeria Football Federation and the National Sports Commission. Fresh findings show that the protest Nigeria filed over Democratic Republic of Congo’s alleged use of ineligible players was submitted nearly two weeks late and without the mandatory 1,000 Swiss Francs fee required by FIFA. Sources said the error ridden protest letter was not drafted by the NFF’s legal chief, Barrister Okey Obi, who has experience with FIFA procedures, but was instead prepared by lawyers linked to the National Sports Commission. According to insiders, the NSC stepped in under the guise of assisting the NFF but effectively bypassed the federation’s internal legal department and took over the drafting of the petition. Those familiar with the case said the NSC lawyers were […]
