Ibrahim

Nigeria midfielder, Rabiu Ibrahim is reportedly in the searchlight of English Premier League side, Sunderland.

The 20-year-old playmaker, who parted ways mutually with PSV Eindhoven is a transfer target of Sunderland manager, Martin O'Neill.

But Sunderland face a stiff battle from another EPL side, Liverpool, who have also listed the former Gateway FC midfielder as a target in the winter transfer window.

O'Neill's has seen his side pick up just seven points from four games and the Sunderland gaffer wants to strengthen the side this January.

Rabiu's agent, Tony Harris, told SuperSport.com that no decision has been made on the transfer talk linking his client to both EPL clubs.

The English agent said Rabiu's talent keeps catching the attention of top European clubs in spite of setbacks he has suffered in his career.

He also explained to SuperSport.com that the decision to terminate the contract with the Eredivisie side, PSV was "purely hierarchy and perspective driven."

Harris pointed out that there are a number of other clubs keen on signing Rabiu but he explained he does not want the player to face difficulty in breaking into the first-team of any side he joins.

He added that building the player's confidence remains paramount.

"Rabiu has played for the national team Under17, Under20, Under23 and he is a real number 10 and has been exceptional for these teams. I believe Nigeria would benefit from assisting a clearly gifted player like Rabiu to gain more confidence, experience and subsequently the duly deserved recognition in the same way Ghana assisted Dede Ayew," Harris said.

"O'Neill's has seen his side pick up just seven points from four games and the Sunderland gaffer wants to strengthen the side this January."

Just? if that form was continued from game one to game 38 we'd have about 70 points. Joker of a journalist.

 

This geezer may be decent, but I feel with the transfer window open, agents are looking for sitting ducks, think they are ****ing about with the wrong man, in Saint Martin.

 

I'd say he already knows exactly who he wants so it's up to the number crunchers upstairs?

 

KIWI , when I came upon this article , I thought of a different Ibrahim, A lot less excited now, If you know what I mean.

 

Allafey?

 

Got the shirt for my lad on my last trip to Milano. He's loves it if you want him, Ibrahimović that is

 

Have to admit I read the whole article and this stood out for me as well! Crap journalism at it's very worst
