La Liga debut to remember for Uche + silverware for Boniface & Tella! | Episode 90 | 20.8.24

In this episode, I review the first game week of the 2024/25 season and how Nigerian players across Europe fared in the weekend fixtures. I touched on impressive performances in the Premier League by Joe Aribo & Wilfred Ndidi respectively

I also spoke on Ademola Lookman’s transfer link to PSG & Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s impressive debut for Lazio in Serie A as the league continues to be a good omen for Super Eagles players

Osimhen’s next club continues to be a point of discussion while Victor Boniface & Nathan Tella picked up from where they left off last season by winning the German Super Cup on penalties against Stuttgart after Boniface opened the scoring.

Discovery of the week has to be new star Chrisantus Uche for Getafe who scored on his La Liga debut in a 1-1 draw at San Mames against Athletico Bilbao & he looks like one hell of a talent!

Tolu Arokodare & Cyriel Dessers both had impressive weekends for their respective club sides in Belgium & Scotland respectively

I then round up the podcast by touching on the Ones to Watch for this week including UCL qualifiers for Slavia Prague’s Igoh Ogbu against Lille & Sparta Prague’s Victor Olatunji against Malmo
