Amuneke Supports Osimhen’s Potential Move to PSG
Emmanuel Amuneke, the former Super Eagles winger who played a pivotal role in Victor Osimhen’s early international career, has expressed strong support for Osimhen’s potential transfer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The Ligue 1 champions are currently negotiating a deal to bring the Nigerian forward on board this summer, with Osimhen’s contract including a release clause valued at €130 million.
Amuneke, who first introduced Osimhen to the international stage during the U-17 World Cup, believes that a move to PSG would significantly benefit the forward’s career.
He highlighted PSG’s stature as a major club competing in the UEFA Champions League, noting that such a transition would be a positive step for Osimhen’s professional growth.
Amuneke emphasized that this move represents an opportunity for Osimhen to further advance his career after making substantial contributions at Napoli.
He expressed confidence that Osimhen, being a prominent talent, is well aware of his career goals and the importance of playing at a top-level club like PSG.
Asisat Oshoala says she’s ready to help the Super Falcons reclaim their crown at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The Bay FC striker is set for her fifth appearance at the tournament, which will take place in Morocco. The 30-year-old already has three WAFCON titles to her name.
At the last edition, also held in Morocco, Oshoala only featured briefly due to injury as South Africa took the title from Nigeria. But now, after over a year away from the squad, she’s back and eager to make an impact.
Speaking to NFF TV, Oshoala shared her excitement about being part of the team again. “Scoring goals is what I love,” she said. “It’s been a while since I played with the national team because of personal things going on in my life. But anytime I’m here, I give my all to help the team get maximum points in every game.”
The Super Falcons will kick off their WAFCON 2024 campaign against Tunisia on Sunday in Casablanca. The tournament begins on Saturday, July 5, with hosts Morocco facing Zambia in Rabat, and it will run until July 26.
Liverpool have announced they will retire the number 20 shirt in honour of their late forward Diogo Jota. The club confirmed the decision on Thursday, saying the gesture is a lasting tribute to Jota’s impact at Anfield, especially his role in Liverpool’s Premier League triumph last season.
Jota, who passed away at 28 in a tragic car accident in Spain alongside his brother Andre Silva, played a crucial part in the Reds’ 2024–2025 title win, which marked their 20th league crown. One of his most memorable moments came in April, when his signature shimmy and finish secured victory in the Merseyside derby, the final goal of his career.
Napoli boss Antonio Conte is still pushing to bring Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman to the club this summer. Despite winning the Serie A title last season, Napoli are keen on strengthening their squad with more quality players.
Atalanta are open to letting Lookman leave but only for the right offer. Reports from Italy suggest the club is demanding €50 million for the winger. Lookman, who joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig in 2022, has also caught the attention of Premier League sides Liverpool and Arsenal.
