November 8, 2022 Osimhen Rated Nigeria’s Most Valuable Player

Osimhen Rated Nigeria’s Most Valuable Player

Following his fantastic performances for Napoli so far this season, Super Eagles attacker Victor Osimhen has been regarded as Nigeria's most valuable player in Europe.

According to Transfermarkt, the 23-year-old forward's value has increased to €65 million. He is presently the leading scorer in Serie A this season with eight goals from nine games despite missing five weeks due to injury.

The Nigerian showed his value in Napoli's 2-1 comeback victory against Atalanta on Saturday, giving Luciano Spalletti's team their ninth consecutive Serie A victory.

All three of the goals were contributed to by the Super Eagle that day. After being called for a handball in the penalty area, his countryman Ademola Lookman converted the ensuing penalty in the 19th minute before the Super Eagle scored the equalizer four minutes later. Ten minutes before halftime, he then helped Eljif Elmas score the winning goal.

He achieved the accomplishment that made him the all-time leading scorer for Nigeria in the Italian top league. With a goal every 91 minutes in the Serie A, he is now the fourth most productive striker in the top five leagues in Europe.

Osimhen has already scored 10 goals for the Partenopei, who are leading Serie A by six points (nine goals, two assists).

Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester City is rated second and is valued at €45 million, while Alex Iwobi of Everton is third and is valued at €25 million.

Samuel Chukwueze and Taiwo Awoniyi, a duo valued at €20 million apiece, round out the top five.

The sixth most expensive position is held by Sadiq Umar, who is presently recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament surgery. He will set up prospective buyers back €18 million, exactly like Ajax defender Calvin Bassey.

Eighth-placed Kelechi Iheanacho is valued at €17 million, while Terem Moffi and Joe Aribo, who are also estimated at €15 million apiece, round out the top three.

November 8, 2022 Joshua Has Lost Faith In Boxing – Hearn

Joshua Has Lost Faith In Boxing – Hearn

According to Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua "lost trust" in boxing when the Tyson Fury negotiations fell through.

In December, AJ and Fury discussed the possibility of an all-British heavyweight battle. Fury established a number of public dates for the match's conclusion, but the agreement was never reached.

Instead, on December 3, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Fury will defend his WBC heavyweight crown against Derek Chisora.

The 33-year-motivation old's was reportedly affected by the promoter Hearn's inability to broker the fight between Joshua and Fury, and as a result, AJ had to recover in order to make a comeback in the first quarter of 2019.

He dispelled worries, however, that Joshua may take a year off if he couldn't defeat the 34-year-old Gypsy King.

He just kind of lost a little bit of trust in boxing because he truly wanted to face Tyson Fury, Hearn said to Boxing Social.

That's the major reason he stayed out of the ring this year. It disrupted his vibe. He was only pissed off.

"You know, we feel that Fury's bluff was truly called. What are they doing here?

"They claim to want to fight me; I now have a deadline; Chisora has one more month to complete the agreement; I was required to sign it at that time.

Thus, Joshua will likely fight in March rather than maybe towards the end of February.

After two defeats to the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua is still considering his choices for his next bout, and Hearn said that the boxer was "ready to face anybody."

The promoter made a suggestion that AJ may be ready to face Chinese boxer Zhang Zhilei in a stadium match in Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium, the site of the 2008 Olympics.

In order to capitalize on Zhang's popularity, Hearn said that he was considering the prospect of a stadium bout in China, which may see Joshua make his comeback.

Another suggestion was the victor of Dillian Whyte vs. Jermaine Franklin, a fight that will take place at London's Wembley Arena at the end of November.

November 8, 2022 Etebo, Aribo Set To Return

Etebo, Aribo Set To Return

Our reporter has reliable information that midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo will soon be called up to the Super Eagles team for the next friendly match against Portugal in Lisbon.

Due to his lack of activity at club level, Etebo did not participate in the friendly match against Algeria in September. He last played and scored in the Eagles' record 10-0 victory against Sao Tome & Principe in June.

The 26-year-old, who had trouble with Stoke City and Watford in England, has since resolved his club career, and he is currently regularly playing first-team football for the Greek club Aris Saloniki.

Joe Aribo, a midfielder for Southampton who requested a leave of absence following the Eagles' 2-1 defeat to Algeria in September, is anticipated to join the Olympic bronze medalist, who has 44 caps and three goals for his country.

Ebube Duru, a left defender for Rivers United, and Victor Sochima, a goalkeeper, were also informed that they will be playing in the high-profile friendly.

Barring a last-minute injury, the Eagles' assault will be spearheaded by Victor Osimhen of Napoli, who is currently in excellent form. Other likely players are Alex Iwobi, captain Ahmed Musa, William Troost-Ekong, Moses Simon, Ademola Lookman, and Wilfred Ndidi.

A list of players for the next international friendly against Portugal has been put up by Eagles coach Jose Peseiro, according to Mohammed Sanusi, the general secretary of the Nigerian Football Federation.

On November 17, we will play a friendly match in Lisbon versus Portugal.

"Peseiro has created a tentative list and will only submit his 23-player roster after this weekend's games. Our connection with the coach is friendly. He is doing his duties and concentrating on his goals.

Since taking over the squad in May, the Portuguese coach has only had two victories to his name.

November 3, 2022 Women’s Nations League To Be Introduced For First Time In 2023

Women’s Nations League To Be Introduced For First Time In 2023

The inaugural Women's Nations League will be held the following year.

The new league will start in the fall of 2023 in preparation for the Women's European Championship in 2025, according to Uefa, the governing body of European football.

In order to replace international friendlies with more competitive matches, the men's Nations League was launched in 2018.

Aleksander Ceferin, president of Uefa, said that it was time to advance women's national team football after a historic Women's Euros.

Every match will matter in the open, competitive, and continuous system that we have created, which is a real representation of the European sports paradigm.

"I am certain that this format will benefit all European national organizations and maintain the hope of making it to a significant international competition."

According to rating, nations will be divided into leagues of three or four teams for the Women's Nations League. There will be promotion and relegation between three divisions, and the top four finishers will compete in the finals.

The tournament will serve as a springboard for teams to qualify for the 2025 European Championship and the 2027 World Cup. A team's starting league place in the qualifications will be based on their Nations League ranking.

The European qualifications, which commence in the spring of 2024, will decide a team's starting league position in the next Nations League season as well as qualifying for the European Championships.

The Nations League finals will also decide which three European teams advance to the Olympics every four years.

The two Nations League champions, or the third-place team if France advances to the final, will join the 2024 Olympic hosts France in the competition.
