Nigeria footballers leading the way

Players that come from Nigeria are skillful, persistent, and ambitious to win trophies wherever they go. They are also popular among the fans for their personalities away from the game. Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is attracting significant attention for his recent performances in Italy, with Chelsea and Manchester United hoping to sign a striker in the summer. The 24-year-old has helped his team move 13 points clear at the top of Serie A with 17 goals in all competitions this season which has understandably peaked the interest of many top clubs. ARSENAL could cash in on Folarin Balogun in the summer despite the striker currently outshining Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in France. Chuba Akpom brace at the weekend helped Boro collect a tenth league win in 14 games under Michael Carrick, with the Boro forward moving to 16 league goals for the season. It leaves him just four shy of 20 league goals, with Slaven the last Boro player to reach that milestone for the club, 33 years ago in 1989-90. Balogun, 21, is the leading scorer in Ligue 1 with 14 goals for Stade de Reims. Former Nigerian forward, Jonathan Akpoborie says he’s confident Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu will grab the headlines in the English Premier League with his goals. Recall that Onuachu left the Limburgers for Premier League outfit, Southampton on deadline day. The Nigerian international ended his four-year association with Genk following his arrival from Danish club, FC Midtylland in 2019. The 28-year-old was a cult hero during his time at the Cegeka Arena. The striker scored 84 goals in 134 matches for the Smurfs. Currently, these players are making Nigeria proud across the world. Victor Osimhen  is the Serie A Top Scorer with 16 goals. Folarin Balogun  is the Ligue 1 Top Scorer with 14 goals. Chuba Akpom  is the Championship Top Scorer with 16 goals. Paul Onuachu is the Belgian League Top Scorer with 16 goals. (He moved to Southampton in England last week). Josh Maja 🇳🇬 is the Ligue 2 Top Scorer with 11 goals.

Turkey: Atsu trapped under rubble of a destroyed building in the 7.8-magnitude earthquake

Former Chelsea and Newcastle winger Christian Atsu is reportedly ‘stuck trapped under rubble of a destroyed building’ following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Turkey. More than 1,600 people have been killed and thousands more injured after the catastrophic earthquake that rocked Turkey and Syria overnight, flattening neighbourhoods while families were asleep. As reported by multiple outlets in Turkey, a search and rescue operation is underway for Ghanaian international Atsu – who joined Turkish Super Lig club Hatayspor last summer. Two of his team-mates as well as members of the technical staff were said to have been pulled out of the rubble, though Atsu – who scored a dramatic late winner for his club yesterday – is still missing. Atsu joined Chelsea in 2013 but never played a competitive minute for the club as he was sent out on loan for a number of seasons including to Everton and Newcastle. Though he made just five appearances at Everton, he impressed enough on loan at Newcastle to make a permanent move to the Magpies. In total, he made 107 appearances for the club, scoring eight goals, before joining Saudi side Al-Raed in 2021. Atsu was in action last night for Hatayspor, scoring a goal in the seventh minute of stoppage time in a 1-0 victory over Kasimpasa. Hatayspor player Onur Ergurn, meanwhile posted in an Instagram story saying reports that he is missing were incorrect. ‘Thank you very much to everyone who called and asked,’ the midfielder said. ‘The news is not true. I’m fine. ‘I can’t answer the phone because there is a network problem. Get well soon to all of us.’ Turkish keeper, Ahmed Turkaslan of Yeni Malatyaspor is also said to be missing. The clubs assistant coach İlhan Var said: ‘We have not found our goalkeeper Ahmet Eyup Turkaslan yet. There are no signs right now. His wife came out and described where he could be.’ The wife of Hatayspor manager Volkan Demirel shared a tearful message after a massive aftershock with a magnitude of 7.5 hit Turkey’s south hours after the original quake.

Tom Brady officially hangs up from NFL

Tom Brady has set the record straight by posting a simple message on his social media accounts that announced he was hanging it up for good. “I’ll get straight to the point, I’m retiring. For good,” Brady said. “I know the process was a big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first.” The next question is obvious: Is Tom Brady really retiring from the NFL? We did this song and dance last year when Brady retired, but he went back on that a month later when he announced he would be returning for one more season. At the time it was believed that Brady was motivated to come back so he could retire the way he wanted to, and not be beaten to his own punch by Adam Schefter — which is what caused the whole circus in the first place. Schefter announced Brady’s retirement before the man himself could, which not only seemed to be a motivating factor for Brady to return but put a sour note on the whole event. In the days leading up to Brady unretiring, Mike Florio from PFT noted that the retirement was from the Buccaneers and not the NFL. That came on the heels of reports that Brady wanted to team up with Sean Payton in Miami and finish his career with the Dolphins. That didn’t happen, and while his final season with the Buccaneers didn’t go the way anyone thought it would, Brady’s retirement seems to be official this time.

Hulk Hogan is not paralyzed, according to his rep.

Hulk Hogan, the WWE legend’s health generated serious concern after his colleague wrestler Kurt Angle hinted that he was informed by Hogan that he lost all feeling in his lower body. However, Hogan’s representative disregarded the claim, stressing that the Hall of Famer is “doing well and is not paralyzed” following back surgery. “Everything is OK with him,” Hogan’s rep told Entertainment Tonight. “Hulk is someone with a lot of humor.” Speaking on “The Kurt Angle Show,” the former Olympic champion said Hogan now relies on the help of a cane for mobility. “Hogan had his back surgery again,” he said on Sunday’s episode. “He had the nerves cut from his lower body. He can’t feel his lower body. So let’s use his cane to walk around. I thought he was using the cane because he had pain in his back. He doesn’t have any pain. He has nothing at all. He can’t feel anything.” Angle said the former wrestler revealed some critical details about his health during the filming of WWE’s Monday Night Raw 30th anniversary episode, which aired on Jan. 23. “So now he can’t feel his legs. So he has to walk with a cane which is, you know, that’s pretty serious, man,” he went on. “I really feel for Hogan. He put his heart and soul into the business and ate him up.” “I mean, if you’re gonna kick off the show, the 30th anniversary of Raw, [it] should be Hulk Hogan. He’s the name and face of the company. He’s the guy that revolutionized pro wrestling. I have so much respect for him,” he added. Angle’s claim came as a surprise to fans who saw 69-year-old Hogan make a surprise appearance at RAW XXX in Philadelphia last week. While he appeared to be in good health and spirits, Angle said he spoke to Hogan backstage and the broadcast did not show the former wrestler’s actual condition.
