Manchester United are once again being linked with a move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as the club begins to consider its options ahead of the January transfer window.

Former Super Eagles skipper, John Mikel Obi, has told the federal government to take drastic action against the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) should the national team fail to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Just before half-time, defender Calvin Bassey rescued the Eagles with a towering header, restoring parity. But in a statement issued by the NFF’s Director of Communications, Dr. Ademola Olajire, Dessers came under sharp criticism.…

Nigeria’s chances of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup took another major hit after playing out a 1-1 draw with South Africa on Tuesday night. The result leaves the Super Eagles in a difficult position, with their path to qualification now hanging by a very thin thread. If South Africa manage even a single win or draw in their remaining fixtures, Nigeria would most likely finish second with just 17 points. That would leave the Super Eagles relying on the playoff route. However, even that route looks bleak, as most projected runners-up across the African groups are expected to finish…
