Bundesliga side Hamburger SV have joined the list of clubs interested in signing Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi from French Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice this summer, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.

Moffi returned to Nice after spending the second half of last season on loan with Portuguese champions FC Porto, but the Nigerian forward is widely expected to leave the French club before the transfer window closes.

Nice president Maurice Cohen has already confirmed that Moffi is among the players available for transfer as the club reshapes its squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

Speculation over the striker's future has intensified after he was omitted from Nice's first-team squad, a move that has further suggested his departure is imminent.

According to reports, Hamburger SV are closely monitoring the 27-year-old's situation and are considering a move as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new Bundesliga season.

Moffi's proven goalscoring record and extensive experience in French football have made him an attractive target for the German club.

The former Lorient forward is also attracting interest from Turkish Süper Lig giants Be?ikta?, who are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing the Nigerian as part of their summer recruitment drive.

Moffi joined Nice permanently in 2023 after initially arriving on loan from Lorient and has delivered several important goals for Les Aiglons, although injuries have disrupted his progress in recent seasons.

Despite those setbacks, the Super Eagles striker remains a highly rated forward across Europe, with a move away from the Allianz Riviera appearing increasingly likely as he seeks regular first-team football and a fresh start.

Former Barcelona midfielder Andrés Iniesta has urged the Catalan club to pursue the signing of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, describing the Nigerian as the ideal long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.

Barcelona are searching for a new centre-forward following Lewandowski's move to Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire earlier this summer.

Osimhen and Julián Álvarez were previously linked with the Spanish champions, but Barcelona reportedly cooled their interest in the Nigerian due to the financial implications of a potential transfer, including his valuation and wage demands.

Speaking to NTV Spor, Iniesta praised teenage sensation Lamine Yamal but insisted the youngster should not be deployed as a central striker.

The Barcelona legend also urged sporting director Deco to prioritise signing Osimhen if Ferran Torres leaves the club.

"Lamine Yamal is a fantastic player, but I wouldn't prefer him playing as a number 9. If Ferran Torres leaves, I would strongly advise Deco to sign a striker.

"I don't think Atletico Madrid will let Julian Alvarez go. I would suggest they sign Victor Osimhen. He's a fantastic goalscorer and one of the best replacements for Robert Lewandowski."

Despite continued speculation surrounding his future, Turkish champions Galatasaray are now reportedly prepared to retain Osimhen after initially indicating a willingness to consider offers for the prolific Super Eagles striker.

Osimhen remains one of Europe's most sought-after forwards following another impressive campaign, with his goalscoring pedigree continuing to attract admiration from leading figures across the football world.

Nigerian goalkeeper Kayode Bankole has completed a free transfer to Tanzanian Premier League newcomers Gold Geita FC after signing a one-year contract with the club, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.

The 23-year-old joins Gold Geita following the mutual termination of his contract with South African Premier Soccer League side TS Galaxy.

Bankole moved to TS Galaxy in 2025 after leaving former Nigeria Premier Football League champions Remo Stars at the expiration of his contract. However, he was unable to make a competitive appearance during his spell with the South African club.

The switch to Tanzania presents the goalkeeper with an opportunity to revive his career after spending close to a year without first-team football.

Gold Geita secured promotion to the Tanzanian Premier League after winning the NBC Championship last season and will be hoping Bankole's arrival strengthens their squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

The club also boasts continental experience, having represented Tanzania in the CAF Confederation Cup during the 2022/23 season.

Premier League newcomers Hull City, Ipswich Town and Coventry City are all interested in signing England-born Nigerian midfielder Tim Iroegbunam from Everton, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.

According to talkSPORT, Everton are now willing to listen to offers for the 23-year-old following their recent midfield reinforcements during the summer transfer window.

The Toffees have already completed the permanent signings of Hayden Hackney, Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl, while Arsenal midfielder Christian Nørgaard is expected to become their fourth addition after Everton agreed a deal worth around £7 million. The Danish international is scheduled to undergo a medical on Tuesday.

Nørgaard has been recruited to replace Idrissa Gana Gueye, whose contract expired at the end of last season, a move that could significantly reduce Iroegbunam's opportunities at Goodison Park.

Hull City, Ipswich Town and Coventry City have all made enquiries about the midfielder, although formal bids are yet to be submitted. Those offers are expected to arrive in the coming days.

Interest in Iroegbunam is not limited to England, with two Italian clubs also monitoring his situation ahead of the new season.

With just one year remaining on his Everton contract, the Merseyside club are prepared to cash in now rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next summer. While a loan move remains a possibility, Everton would only consider such an arrangement if it includes an obligation to buy.

Although reports have valued the midfielder at around £20 million, that figure has not been officially confirmed.

Iroegbunam began his career at West Bromwich Albion before joining Aston Villa in 2021, initially featuring for the club's Under-23 side. He made his Premier League debut in February 2022 as a substitute in Villa's 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

The midfielder moved to Everton in June 2024 on a three-year contract in a deal reported to be worth around £9 million.

At international level, Iroegbunam has represented England at youth level, receiving his first call-up to the Under-20 squad in March 2022 for matches against Poland and Germany.

French Ligue 2 side Stade de Reims have completed the signing of promising Nigerian defender Godwin Itotomi from Grassrunners FC on a season-long loan, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.

The 18-year-old centre-back will initially join Stade de Reims' youth setup, where he is expected to continue his development before progressing to the reserve team and, ultimately, the senior squad.

Itotomi earned the move after impressing the club's coaching staff during a successful trial, with his composed displays, defensive intelligence and physical presence convincing the French outfit to offer him a contract.

During the trial period, the highly rated defender featured in friendly matches against European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain and Eintracht Frankfurt, delivering assured performances that highlighted his potential.

His impressive displays also earned him opportunities to train and play with Stade de Reims' reserve side, reinforcing the club's belief in his ability to develop into a first-team player.

The move marks another important milestone in Itotomi's career as he begins his journey in European football and looks to follow in the footsteps of several Nigerian players who have excelled in France.

Negotiations are expected to continue over the coming days as Spurs attempt to close the valuation gap and complete a deal for the Nigerian star before the transfer window closes.

Super Eagles winger Yira Collins Sor is edging closer to a move to Turkish Super Lig newcomers Amedspor as negotiations continue with Belgian Pro League side KRC Genk, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

According to TransferFeed, discussions between both clubs are progressing positively, although a final agreement on the transfer has yet to be reached.

Sor, whose current contract with Genk expires next year, is widely expected to leave the Belgian club this summer after indications that he will not be offered a new deal.

Should the transfer be completed, the 26-year-old Nigerian will reunite with fellow countryman Gift Orban, who recently joined Amedspor on a season-long loan from Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim.

The former Flying Eagles winger joined Genk from Czech club Slavia Prague in January 2023 in a deal reportedly worth €6.5 million.

Despite arriving with high expectations, Sor has struggled to establish himself as a regular at the Belgian club, with recurring injuries limiting his appearances and preventing him from consistently showcasing his quality.

A move to Amedspor could offer the Nigerian international the fresh start and regular playing time he needs as he looks to revive his career ahead of the new season.

Arokodare attracted interest from several European clubs during the transfer window, with Italian Serie A sides Genoa and Fiorentina, German outfit Hamburg, and Turkish club Trabzonspor all monitoring his situation.

Fiorentina's pursuit ultimately collapsed after both clubs failed to reach an agreement over the loan fee and the player's wage structure.

"He is good at timing his races and finding the right positions. At the same time, he has developed technically and has become safer on the ball, which has lifted his game. It will be exciting to follow his further development."
