Enyeama & Three Super Eagles Stars Who Need A Change Of Clubs In January
Published: January 02, 2018
As the transfer window reopens in the new year, allnigeriasoccer.com brings to notice Nigerian players plying their trade abroad who would do their world cup chances no harm with a switch to a new club, with plausible game time the pre-requisite after all.
Ahmed Musa — Musa's decline since jumping ship from the cosy comforts of Moscow to Leicestershire had been telling enough. The Afcon 2013 winner is yet to kick a ball in the English topflight this season, and a handful of run outs in cup competitions for the Foxes clearly explain why Moses Simon has handily kept the 25-year old on the
fringes of the national team for quite some time.
Vincent Enyeama — There is no gainsaying the reason most Super Eagles faithful had clamoured for the veteran goalkeeper to be re-included in the fold but lack of action for his Ligue 1 club, Lille had threatened to soil the situation and render the procedure farfetched.
Marco Biesla had long declared the 35-year old surplus to requirements at the Les Rogues but then, there had never been any uncertainty about his quality.
Dele Alampasu — At 21, Alampasu had surprisingly failed to build on his breakout year with the Golden Eaglets and has hardly featured for CD Feirense in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
Yet, Gernot Rohr has continued to include him in the national team set-up, albeit in a less prominent brief on the bench with Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Daniel Akpeyi and new comer, Francis Uzoho all ahead of him in the pecking order.
With the January window already open for business, a switch to a new club who would be willing to hone his raw talents looks rarely ill advised for the 2013 U-17 World Cup winner.
Kelechi Iheanacho — It is such a shame that Iheanacho who once had the world at his feet had shockingly imploded to
the point of seemingly no return since swapping the Etihad stadium for the King Power.
The viable combination of Shinji Okazaki and Jamie Vardy had meant opportunities would hardly come by for the 21-year old at Leicester.
Odion Ighalo had long usurped him as the Super Eagles first choice striker and of course, it would be foolhardy for Rohr to wholly rely on a player who has barely played in the months leading into the World Cup competition.
