West Ham Eyes Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu to Replace Aging Fabianski in January
West Ham United are reportedly eyeing a move for Freiburg’s promising goalkeeper, Noah Atubolu, in the upcoming January transfer window.
The Premier League club is actively seeking a reliable successor for their veteran goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski, whose career is approaching its climax.
Fabianski, who turns 40 this year, has been a key figure at West Ham since he joined from Swansea City in 2018.
Known for his consistent performances and experience between the posts, Fabianski has been a dependable choice for the Hammers.
However, his age suggests retirement might be imminent, likely at the end of the season.
To maintain stability in their goalkeeping department, West Ham is eager to bring in fresh talent who can step into the role seamlessly.
Noah Atubolu has caught the attention of West Ham’s scouting team due to his impressive performances in the Bundesliga.
The Nigerian-born 22-year-old currently plays for SC Freiburg and is regarded as one of the top young goalkeepers in Germany’s top-flight league.
Atubolu, who came through Freiburg’s youth academy, has shown composure, agility, and excellent shot-stopping abilities, making him a standout prospect.
The young goalkeeper is reportedly open to the idea of playing in England, which could make negotiations smoother for West Ham.
His confidence and ability to adapt to high-pressure situations make him a strong candidate to succeed in one of the most competitive football leagues in the world.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
