Nduka Promises To Make Nigeria Proud Ahead of CHAN Game With Senegal
Home-based Super Eagles defender Junior Nduka has promised to give his all for Nigeria as the team prepares to clash with Senegal on Tuesday in the CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) group stage. The Remo Stars player expressed confidence in the squad and said they’re determined to make the country proud, just like the D’Tigress and Super Falcons recently did.
The D’Tigress claimed the AfroBasket title after a strong win against Mali in the final held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, while the Super Falcons edged out Morocco 3-2 to lift the WAFCON trophy.
Speaking during a press briefing in Zanzibar ahead of the match, Nduka said, “Nigerians expect a lot from us, especially with the way our athletes have been performing across different sports. We’ll do our best to build on that success and not disappoint them.”
He added that the recent victories by the women’s basketball and football teams are a motivation, and the team is fired up to bring more joy to the country.
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has praised his new teammate, Rafael Leão, describing the Portuguese forward as a “good superstar” following the club’s 3-2 victory over Göztepe.
Galatasaray secured the win at the RAMS Park on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with Osimhen getting on the scoresheet as the Turkish champions claimed all three points.
Following the match, Galatasaray unveiled Leão to the home fans after completing his move from Italian side AC Milan. Reacting to the arrival of his new teammate, Osimhen said “Very good [signing]. Rafael Leão is a good superstar, I said it.”
Leão officially joined Galatasaray from AC Milan on Sunday, August 30, 2026, in one of the major moves of the summer transfer window.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
