October 18, 2019 Osimhen wins Ligue 1 POTM award

Osimhen wins Ligue 1 POTM award

Lille striker, Victor Osimhen, has been voted Ligue 1 Player of The Month of September ahead of Algerian forward, Islam Slimani (Monaco) and Nantes’ Nicolas Pallois.

The 20-year-old scored two goals in four league appearances for Lille in September.

He was on target in Lille’s 2-1 win against Angers SCO and the 2-0 victory at home to Strasbourg.

The former Wolfsburg striker, who was named Lille Player of The Month for August and September, has scored seven goals and recorded two assists in nine league appearances for Los Dogues this season.

With the impressive figure, the Nigeria international was also named as the fourth most decisive player of the five major European leagues, with Bayern Munich Robert Lewandowski topping the list and Manchester City duo Sergio Agüero and Kevin De Bruyne finishing second and third respectively.

Osimhen dedicated the award to God.

“Player of the month of September, major thanks to those who voted for me, I appreciate each and every one of you, special gratitude goes to my family, teammates and my loved ones. God is the greatest. We move,” he tweeted.

Before the award, the Nigerian had written on Instagram, “The goal is to keep improving.”

Lille took to their Twitter handle to celebrate the forward.

Osimhen is reportedly a target for Spanish giants Barcelona, following his heroics at Lille.

Lacazette back in training, could face Sheffield

Alexandre Lacazette has returned to full training and could make his Arsenal comeback as early as Monday’s trip to Sheffield United.

Striker Lacazette has missed Arsenal’s last seven games due to a niggling ankle problem.

The 28-year-old had been struggling with the issue for ‘several weeks’ when Arsenal confirmed in mid-September that he needed to be taken out of the firing line.

His absence increased the burden on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal’s only other senior striker, though he responded by scoring five times while his strike partner was out.

The Gabon frontman was also named September’s player of the month after scoring in each of his Arsenal appearances during the month.

The Gunners will continue to assess Lacazette over the next few days before making a call on whether he is ready to play a part in their trip to Bramall Lane.

Meanwhile, winger Reiss Nelson will be out until next month due to the left knee ligament injury he suffered against Standard Liege at the start of this month.

October 18, 2019 ALLEGRI TAKES ENGLISH CLASSES, A HINT A MANCHESTER UNITED.

ALLEGRI TAKES ENGLISH CLASSES, A HINT A MANCHESTER UNITED.

Massimiliano Allegri has refused to deny rumours that he could be the new Manchester United head coach.

The former Juventus boss is currently out of a job after leaving the Bianconeri at the end of last season, following yet another Serie A triumph.

United’s sharp decline in form since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was given the managerial post on a permanent basis has seen Allegri linked with the role.

When questioned about the speculation directly, the Italian simply laughed and told Przeglad Sportowy, “I speak English too poorly for now, but I am learning.”

The Red Devils lie 12th in the Premier League table with just one win since the opening day, and most recently were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United away from home.

October 18, 2019 Court hears Ferguson, Conte allegations

Court hears Ferguson, Conte allegations

Agent Giuseppe ‘Pino’ Pagliara is on trial in England for bribery, having told an undercover reporter he helped Sir Alex Ferguson ‘fix’ a Manchester United match with Juventus and gave then-Chelsea manager Antonio Conte back-handers.

This is the same trial and general undercover sting operation from the Daily Telegraph that forced England manager Sam Allardyce to resign.

Pagliara, fellow agent Dax Price and former Barnsley assistant coach Tommy Wright are on trial at Southwark Crown Court for bribery.

Prosecutor Brian O’Neill QC said in court today that Pagliara accused Ferguson of conspiring to fix a Champions League game between Manchester United and Juventus.

“Towards the end of the meeting Pagliara launched into what could only be described as a diatribe of Sir Ferguson, accusing him of having conspired with Pagliara to fix the result of a football match between Juventus, a club which Pagliara was associated with, and Manchester United in the Champions League for which Pagliara had thanked him with a gold 30 grand Rolex watch.”
