''See person wey dey 6 weeks injury 😂😂, thank God say this guy no come my club. Unprofessional fellow.”

“Anybody wey yap dust go collect”
The first comment was about a failed proposed move to Chelsea on the summer transfer deadline day after both parties failed to agree on personal terms.
The transfer divided the Nigerian fans, some of whom are Chelsea fans, forming different opinions about the football ability and personality of the player.
Chelsea have not totally ruled out the possibility of trying again in the January transfer window, with a reported break clause inserted into his loan to Galatasaray.
Ex-player applauds Napoli's decision
YEN.com.gh reported that a former player hailed Napoli’s decision to let go of Victor Osimhen and replace him with Romelu Lukaku, who settled in quickly.
German Denis described Lukaku’s qualities that make him a better fit for the team, adding that his relationship with Antonio Conte makes him the better option.
