The Super Eagles of Nigeria are slated to tackle South Africa at the Peace Stadium on Wednesday with the hope of securing a spot in the final

dashciti.com can exclusively report that the Super Eagles of Nigeria are fully prepared to face South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash.

Following Nigeria’s 1-0 victory over Angola, courtesy of Ademola Lookman’s decisive strike, they have secured a spot in the semi-final against South Africa. Although today’s training session for the Nigerian national team was conducted behind closed doors, there were no reported injuries during or after the clash with Angola.

As a result, the Super Eagles are expected to field their key players, including their standout goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, and the in-form Atalanta forward, Lookman, who has netted three goals in Nigeria’s last three matches.

William Troost-Ekong, who mentioned managing a knock ahead of the Angola game, has been able to feature effectively for Nigeria, leading the defense despite the minor injury.

Similarly, Alhassan Yusuf, recovering from a knock sustained in the opening game against Equatorial Guinea, has fully recuperated and earned valuable minutes in the match against Angola.

The upcoming clash between Nigeria and South Africa will take place at the Peace Stadium in Bouake, with Jose Peseiro’s team aiming to provide fans with another reason to cheer.

Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has reached an agreement in principle with his current club Napoli on a contract extension amid interest from top European clubs.

The 24-year-old striker will sign a one-year extension to his current deal, taking it to 2026 with a number new release clause according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

The news comes as a blow to top clubs who were lining up to sign Osimhen, especially Chelsea who reportedly had concrete interest in a potential January move.

Osimhen’s five-year deal with Napoli was set to expire in the summer of 2025 which piqued the interest of clubs like Chelsea who hoped to use the situation to their advantage. The one-year contract extension probably does not stop Osimhen from leaving Napoli, it just gives the club much more leverage, especially with the release clause inserted.

Osimhen’s release clause is expected to be around €130 million which would make him the most expensive player in Italy and one of the most in the world when it’s met.

The Nigerian’s value is also increased by the fact that he just won the 2023 Africa Footballer of the Year Award in recognition of his incredible 2022/23 season.
