Super Falcons standout Jennifer Echegini has been awarded the prestigious eBay MVP for the best Under-23 player in the women’s Serie A.

This honor highlights Echegini’s exceptional talent and contributions during her debut season with Juventus.

Echegini, who began her youth career at Arsenal and had brief stints with clubs in the United States, joined Juventus in January and quickly made an impact.

In just 16 appearances, the dynamic midfielder scored 10 goals and provided 1 assist, showcasing her prowess and adaptability.

The accolade, which includes a commemorative plaque to be presented at the start of the next season, underscores her significant contributions to her team and the league.

Echegini’s multicultural background born in the Netherlands, raised in London, and representing Nigeria on the international stage adds a unique dimension to her football journey.

Her performance at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, where Nigeria reached the Round of 16, further cemented her status as a rising star in women’s football.

EPL: Sign Osimhen instead of Gyokeres – Ferdinand advises Man United

Rio Ferdinand

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has advised his former club to sign Victor Osimhen instead of Viktor Gyokeres.

The Red Devils are in search of more firepower upfront after an underwhelming campaign.

The duo of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to deliver the goods, with United finishing in a disappointing 15th position on the table.

Ruben Amorim’s side also lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the final of the UEFA Europa League.

Gyokeres, who had an outstanding campaign for Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon, has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

The forward scored 39 goals and registered eight assists to help Sporting Lisbon clinch the Portuguese League title.

Despite his impressive form in front of goal, Ferdinand believed Osimhen would be a better fit for his old club.

“I think Gyokeres, everyone’s talking about him. Again, I think if I’m looking at the market now and I had to pick him or Osimhen, I’d probably pick Osimhen because of that experience,” the former England international told the Mirror.

Galatasaray are ready to take Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson if the Blues sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen on a permanent transfer.

This was disclosed by Turkish football expert Serdar Ali Çelikler.

Speaking on the Neo Spor YouTube channel via habersarikirmizi, Ali Çelikler insisted that the Nigeria international is waiting for a move to the English Premier League, EPL, this summer.

“They [Galatasaray ] are also waiting for Osimhen. I think they will wait until August,” Ali Çelikler said.

“Osimhen is not in a hurry and is waiting for a move from England.”

He added, “If Chelsea takes Osimhen, Galatasaray will enter for Nicolas Jackson.

“What I have heard is that if Chelsea gets Osimhen, Galatasaray will also get Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea.”

Osimhen had a spectacular season-long loan at Galatasaray, winning the Turkish Super Lig title and the Turkish Cup after scoring 37 goals in all competitions for the club.
