A video circulating on social media shows that the reigning African footballer of the year was seen at a Lagos nightclub gisting with Afrobeats artiste Burnaboy. Phyno was also spotted in the club.

The first comment was about a failed proposed move to Chelsea on the summer transfer deadline day after both parties failed to agree on personal terms.

The transfer divided the Nigerian fans, some of whom are Chelsea fans, forming different opinions about the football ability and personality of the player.

Chelsea have not totally ruled out the possibility of trying again in the January transfer window, with a reported break clause inserted into his loan to Galatasaray.

Ex-player applauds Napoli's decision

Legit.ng reported that a former player hailed Napoli’s decision to let go of Victor Osimhen and replace him with Romelu Lukaku, who settled in quickly.

German Denis described Lukaku’s qualities that make him a better fit for the team, adding that his relationship with Antonio Conte makes him the better option.
