EPL: Chelsea coach blasts France World Cup goalkeeper, Lloris

Chelsea goalkeeping coach, Christophe Lollichon has said that France and Tottenham goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris is overrated.

Lollichon believes that Lloris should be replaced as France’s number one shot-stopper.

Lloris missed his country’s international friendly game against Germany on Tuesday and Paris Saint-Germain keeper, Alphonse Areola kept a clean sheet when given a chance to impress.

Lollichon said that Areola is more than good enough to be the national team’s first choice rather than Lloris.

“People live in a dream world when it comes to Lloris a bit too much, but for me Areola is above,” The Daily Mail quote Lollichon as saying.

“Against Germany, he was positionally very good and in his ability to come out. It’s the basis of all goalkeepers, but not everyone does it well. He’s pro-active in his anticipation.

“For me, he’s the best current French goalkeeper. He has all the characteristics to be France’s number one.

“The height, ability with ball in his feet, wingspan, his diving ability, footwork. He’s the most adapted to how they play.”

Lollichon recently told French radio station RMC that Areola was keen to join Chelseabefore the Blues recently brought in Kepa Arrizabalaga to replace Thibaut Courtois at Stamford Bridge.

England manager, Southgate speaks on Ademola Lookman choosing to play for Super Eagles

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) are confident they can tempt the Everton winger, even though he is a regular for the Three Lions’ Under-21 side. London-born Lookman is eligible to play for the Super Eagles through his parents. But Southgate remains confident they can keep the 20-year-old, who had an impressive spell on loan at Germany’s RB Leipzig last season. “I know every country is quite aggressive in their recruiting and I know they have always had an interest in him, but he is playing and has been in our squads, the 20s, 21s. “So in terms of encouragement through game time, we are doing as much as we possibly can,” Southgate told the UK Mirror

Nigeria Must Account For Victims Of ‘Enforced Disappearance’, Says Amnesty International In a statement issued on Thursday to mark the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, the human rights group accused the government of holding several persons in secret detention facilities without charge or trial across the country. “So many families are still searching for loved ones who have not been seen for many years,” the Director of Amnesty International Nigeria, Osai Ojigho, said. “In some cases, families live with the pain of not knowing whether their loved ones are alive or dead.” She added, “It’s time the government did the right thing – and either release these detainees or charge them with a recognisable criminal offence in a fair trial without recourse to death penalty.” Ojigho accused the government of using enforced disappearance as a tactic to “silence critics and instil fear” in civilian populations whom she said were facing the double threat of a...
