IHEANACHO ON BARCA'S RADAR FOR £16. 8M (N6.6 Billion)

Spanish champions Barcelona are monitoring the progress of Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho and are ready to lure him away from the Etihad with a bid of N6.6billion naira (£16.8m) in the summer.

The 20-year-old had a remarkable 2015/16 season in his premier league debut, scoring eight times as he helped Manchester City qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
However, he caught the eye as he average a goal every 81.27 minutes which was better than the ratio achieved by more accomplished strikers Luis Suarez (83.77), Cristiano Ronaldo (84.21) and Lionel Messi (95.95).
According to reports, the Nigerian who has already scored three times with three assists this season is monitored closely by Barcelona after manager Luiz Enrique identified him as one who could fit into his playing style at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona currently possess the best attacking trio in world football, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar but Paco Alcácer has failed to shine as a back-up which has made the Catalans turn focus to Iheanacho.
It is unlikely that Barcelona will prize the Nigerian away from the Etihad in January as Pep Guardiola considers him an integral part of the squad and showed faith in him by extending his contract to 2021 but the Catalans are willing to test their resolve to sell at the end of the current season.

Godin: I dream of lifting the cup

Source: FIFA.com Diego Godin has revealed he cannot stop thinking about the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ and expressed his desire to become the first Uruguayan in 68 years to lift the Trophy. Jules Rimet handed it to Obdulio Varela – albeit in bizarre circumstances – at the Maracana in 1950, and though  La Celeste reached the semi-finals on three occasions thereafter, they have never gone further, losing to Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1970, and the Netherlands in 2010. Eight teams have shorter odds of winning Russia 2018 than Uruguay, but that does not stop the Atletico Madrid centre-back from dreaming big. “There isn’t a day goes by that I stop thinking about the World Cup,” Godin told  Radio Rincón . “I dream of lifting the Trophy – of course, I do. “We qualified for the World Cup well. The important thing is that no-one gets injured, that everyone is right physically.”Godin believes the secret to Uruguay’s prosperity under Oscar Tabarez – t...
