Tolu Arokodare won the Ebony Boot for the best African player in Belgium last season and now compatriot and fellow Super Eagles star Raphael Onyedika has again been nominated for the top award.

Arokodare was top scorer of the Belgian top league last season with 21 goals and crowned his exploits to join the likes of Godwin Okpara, Victor Ikpeba and Celestine Babayaro to scoop the Ebony Boot.

Onyedika was also on the five-man short list for the award last season.

This season, the Club Brugge midfielder will battle for the top prize along with former Nigeria U23 star Promise David, his Union Gilloise teammate Adem Zorgane, Zakaria El Ouahdi (Genk) and Parfait Guiagon (Charleroi).

The awards ceremony is billed for May 4.

The sensational Lamine Yamal has made it clear that he wishes to play alongside Victor Osimhen at Barcelona in the coming season.

According to Spanish publication Fichajes, Yamal has indicated a clear preference for Barcelona to sign Galatasaray striker Osimhen.

Osimhen, 27, is reportedly one of several top strikers on the shopping list of the Catalan giants with Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid as well as Harry Kane from Bayern Munich also being mentioned.

Experts believe that the exciting wing play and delivery of Yamal will best be complimented by the directness and aggression of Osimhen inside the box.

Galatasaray are willing to co-operate on a transfer, but Barcelona will have to break the bank to sign the Super Eagles striker.

The latest valuation by Galatasaray of Osimhen is 150 million euros, double what they bought him last summer from Napoli.
