William Troost-Ekong has assured that the Super Eagles will give their all to secure a win against Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Eric Chelle’s team will face Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo next Tuesday.

“We heard that Zimbabwe is feeling confident about getting a result in Uyo, but they should forget about it,” Troost-Ekong said to thenff.com.

He emphasized the team’s strong desire to qualify for the World Cup, saying, “Aside from me, Alex Iwobi, and maybe a couple of others who played at the 2018 World Cup, this generation is hungry to compete at the highest level. We want to make Nigeria proud and prove ourselves.”

The Super Eagles boosted their qualification hopes with a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali last Friday. Nigeria currently sits in fourth place in Group C with six points from five matches.

Chelsea might have to hand over £5 million to Manchester United if they decide not to make Jadon Sancho’s move permanent this summer.

Sancho joined Chelsea on a season-long loan last summer, with an agreement that includes an obligation to buy him for £25 million. However, if Chelsea chooses to back out of the deal, a clause in the agreement states that they would still owe United £5 million, as reported by The Athletic.

Sancho started strong at Stamford Bridge, registering an assist in each of his first three league games. But his form has taken a sharp dip since then, managing just two goals and one assist in his last 20 league appearances.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is planning a summer shake-up, with four players, including Marcus Rashford, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Andre Onana, set to be sold.

Rashford, Antony, and Malacia were loaned out in January to Aston Villa, Real Betis, and PSV, respectively. Amorim is now reportedly ready to let them go permanently.

Andre Onana, who joined United from Inter Milan in 2023 after helping them reach the Champions League final, is also on the list. Despite being regarded as one of the best ball-playing goalkeepers, Onana has struggled at United and faced heavy criticism.

Reports suggest clubs in Saudi Arabia are interested in signing the 28-year-old goalkeeper.

Amorim is said to be eyeing replacements, with Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens and Lille’s Lucas Chevalier among the top targets. Both goalkeepers have also attracted interest from Manchester City as they prepare for life after Ederson.
