Chidera Ejuke Named Sevilla Player of the Month After Impressive September
Nigerian winger Chidera Ejuke has been honored as Sevilla’s Player of the Month for September, marking a significant achievement in his career.
During the month, Ejuke showcased his talent with five league appearances, contributing to the team with a crucial goal.
His standout moment came on September 24, when he netted the winning goal in a thrilling 2-1 victory over Real Valladolid, helping secure three vital points for the Rojiblancos.
Since joining Sevilla on a free transfer in the summer, the 26-year-old has consistently impressed fans and coaches alike with his dynamic play and determination on the field.
His remarkable performances have not only solidified his place in the starting lineup but have also caught the attention of national selectors.
As a result of his strong showing, Ejuke has received a call-up to represent the Super Eagles in the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against the Mediterranean Knights of Libya.
He is set to join his international teammates in camp today, eager to contribute to the team’s quest for qualification.
Ejuke’s journey at Sevilla continues to be one of excitement and potential, as he strives to make a lasting impact both at the club and on the international stage.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
