Chelsea and Tottenham Players Dominate PFA Team Of The Year

The Professional Football Association (PFA) has announced its Team of the Year with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur players occupying eight of the 11 spots.

The team, voted for by players from all 92 clubs in the English Football League and eight from the Women's Super League, has a familiar feel to it with five of the same players as 2015-16.

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante -- a Premier League title winner with Leicester City last season -- and Tottenham trio Danny Rose, Dele Alli and Harry Kane all make the final XI for the second season in a row. Another Spurs player, Kyle Walker, is also in the side at right-back.

In addition, Chelsea, who struggled in defence of their title last season but now look odds-on to win this year's trophy, have defensive duo David Luiz and Gary Cahill involved, while Eden Hazard -- the PFA Players' Player of the Year in 2014-15 -- is back in the selection.

Completing the list are two players from Merseyside as the Premier League's top scorer, 24-goal Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, and Liverpool's Sadio Mane take their places in the XI.

There is no place for Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez, who both made the shortlist for the PFA Players' Player of the Year senior award

Davido & Iceprince’s Fight: See Full Details Of What Really Happened In Warri Last Night

Image
Davido and Iceprince ‘Last night, an event (Delta Alive) organised by Shina Peller (owner of Quilox night club) went down in Warri. The show had Davido, Lil Kesh, Ice Prince, CDQ and others as headliners. According to an inside source, trouble started from the airport when Davido was picked up in a G-Wagon while Ice Prince was picked up with a saloon car. The gesture infuriated Ice Prince and he let the organisers know he wasn’t pleased. Davido got to hear of his complains and was angry too. Then the issue escalated during the concert when Ice Prince was made to perform before Lil Kesh, a move that’s seen as an insult to the bigger artiste. Ice Prince made it an issue back stage and Davido who had been boiling from the car complaint and obviously a close friend of Lil Kesh jumped in defence of Kesh and things got messy. Our source said, ‘when they got back to the hotel, Davido was really pissed so much that he went to Ice Prince’s door and started shouting and banging on the door

Report: Ahmed Musa 'agrees' to join Fenerbache

Ahmed Musa has reportedly agreed in principle to sign a deal with Fenerbahce and is expected to complete a £17.4m move from Leicester to the Turkish club. Fernabache are believed to have started negotiations with Leicester over a potential deal,  according to Turkish newspaper Gunes . The striker is said to have given a green light to the deal after being asked if he would be happy to join Fenerbahçe, who finished third in the Super Lig last season. If he moves to the Turkish side, it would bring to an end an underwhelming stint at Leicester after struggling to make an impact following a £15million move from CSKA Moscow last summer. The 24-year-old scored just four goals in 31 appearances for Leicester City last season. Two of the goals came in the FA Cup win against Everton. Musa played just 11 mins in the Foxes last seven Premier League games of the season.

Apostle Suleman opens up on new allegations by Stephanie Otobo

Image
Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, has vowed not to allow allegations made against him by his alleged lover, Miss Stephanie Otobo, go unchallenged. Apostle Suleman, who spoke to The Sun through his Media Adviser, Phrank Shaibu, dared Otobo to prove all her allegations in court. He said: “It is not for her to probe the wisdom of the mother in going to beg for forgiveness. The mother has done what she felt was right and we have responded to the mother’s appeal for forgiveness. “Can’t you see the contradiction in the claim of being poisoned by Apostle? First, she claimed that the poison was given to her by Apostle in a hotel. Next she said it was in a dream. Perhaps, she would come up with another bizarre tale. Seriously, even my three -year- old daughter can do better”. On Otobo’s claims that if Apostle Suleman presents his international passport, it will reveal that both of them travelled together on a certain day to Canada, Shuaib responded: “How do
