Diaspora, Africa – (African Boulevard News) – Former Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers, is widely expected to take on a new coaching position at Southampton in the coming days. The move has already sparked speculation about whether Rodgers will look to give Paul Onuachu and Joe Aribo more minutes on the field, much like he did with Nigerian striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, during his time at Leicester.
A source close to Rodgers revealed that he is already preparing to take a close look at the Southampton squad, with a particular focus on identifying areas where he can improve the team’s performance. “Brendan is excited to get started with Southampton and is looking forward to working with a very talented group of players,” the source said.
One of the players likely to benefit from Rodgers’ arrival is Paul Onuachu, the Nigerian striker who recently signed for Southampton. Onuachu has struggled to get regular game time since joining the club, but his impressive performances for the Nigerian national team have demonstrated that he has the potential to be a top scorer in the Premier League.
Rodgers is known for his ability to develop young talent, and many fans are hoping that he will be able to unlock Onuachu’s full potential. The striker’s height and aerial ability make him a formidable presence in the box, but he has struggled to adapt to the pace and physicality of the Premier League.
Similarly, Joe Aribo, the Nigerian midfielder who has been with Rangers since 2018, is expected to get more playing time under Rodgers. Aribo has shown flashes of brilliance in his limited appearances for the club, but he has not yet been able to establish himself as a regular starter.
Rodgers’ track record of developing young midfielders, such as James Maddison and Youri Tielemans, is likely to give Aribo and other young players at Southampton hope that they can achieve similar success under his guidance.
In conclusion, Southampton fans are eagerly anticipating Brendan Rodgers’ arrival, and many believe that he will be able to transform the team’s fortunes. With a talented squad at his disposal, including Paul Onuachu and Joe Aribo, there is no doubt that Rodgers has the potential to take Southampton to the next level. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how he molds the team into a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League.
