Troost-Ekong Confident Super Eagles Will Beat Zimbabwe in World Cup Qualifier

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.

Man U Looks to Sign Osimhen Offering Hojlund and Cash in Summer Deal

Napoli is asking for Rasmus Hojlund plus £33.6 million from Manchester United to sign Victor Osimhen this summer. Manchester United is eager to add a strong striker to Ruben Amorim’s squad after a trophyless 2024/25 season. They have been linked to Liam Delap from Ipswich Town, who has a £30 million release clause due to Ipswich’s relegation. However, Delap seems to prefer a move to Chelsea, leaving Manchester United to look for other options.
According to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, United has increased talks with Napoli about Osimhen. Last week, United’s director of football, Matt Hargreaves, traveled to Italy to meet Napoli’s owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and sporting director Giovanni Manna to push for the deal. Osimhen has a £63 million release clause that applies only to clubs outside Italy. Currently on loan at Galatasaray until June, the Nigerian forward has yet to decide where he will play next.

Chelsea and Arsenal Hope to Sign Real Madrid Winger Rodrygo This Summer

Chelsea is showing strong interest in signing Real Madrid winger Rodrygo this summer as they look to boost manager Enzo Maresca’s squad. This move puts them in direct competition with Arsenal, who are also keen on the 24-year-old Brazilian star.
Chelsea recently agreed a deal to bring Liam Delap over from Ipswich Town, signaling their intent to build a stronger team for the upcoming season. Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid is uncertain, with reports suggesting he’s unhappy with his current role at the Spanish club.
The former Santos player is expected to hold talks with Real’s new manager, Xabi Alonso, soon to discuss where he fits in the team’s plans. With this uncertainty, Rodrygo could be on the move this summer, and the club may be willing to let him go for around £67 million.
Several Premier League teams are watching closely, but Chelsea’s Champions League qualification and recent Europa Conference League win make them an attractive destination. Both Chelsea and Arsenal appear ready to compete for Rodrygo’s signature as they look to strengthen their squads for next season.

“Ronaldo Has Helped the League Grow” – Al-Nassr Sporting Director Says

Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr have finally addressed the future of their star forward, Cristiano Ronaldo. On Thursday, the club’s sporting director, Fernando Hierro, spoke openly about whether the legendary striker will stay or leave. Fans have been buzzing with rumors, especially with reports linking Ronaldo to Al-Nassr’s rivals, Al Hilal, as he aims to play in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
But Hierro made it clear that the club is doing everything they can to keep the 40-year-old Portuguese star, whom he called a national treasure. Ronaldo’s current two-year contract is ending this summer, and he will become a free agent. In his time at Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has been prolific—scoring 93 goals in just 105 appearances.
Still, the Portugal captain is frustrated that the team hasn’t won any trophies despite his impressive performance. Al-Nassr finished third in the league this season. Hierro confirmed ongoing talks with Ronaldo about a contract renewal.
“From the start, Ronaldo’s presence has been part of a national project. He’s a huge phenomenon in football history and has helped raise the profile of the league. We are in contact to extend his contract and hope he stays with us,” Hierro said (via Al Nassr Zone on X).
