Football Planet

Nigeria’s football fraternity and Africa in general, continue to mourn the passing on of former Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi. Wednesday will be exactly a week after his demise.

Ex-Zambian great Kalusha Bwalya, who played against Keshi in the 1994 AFCON final when Zambia went down 2-1 to Nigeria joined us in paying tribute to the late Keshi.

The summer transfer window is also here and some African players have been busy with paperwork.

Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly is now a Red Devil, and African football expert and Ivorian journalist Mamadou Gaye takes us through some sense of his likely impact at Old Trafford as he also touches on the imminent move of Africa’s best player Aubameyang to the blue half of Manchester.
