Nigeria  midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo has reportedly agreed a loan move to  Spanish La Liga strugglers Las Palmas.

 Portuguese Primeira Liga giants Porto reportedly won the race to sign  Etebo from   their struggling rivals Feirense  in December  ahead   of the January transfer window but no deal was struck allegedly because  the Dragons  refused  to  cough up  the  €10m  release clause on the player’s head.

 And Wilfred Nididi’s former   Belgian side Genk were heavily linked with a move for the box-to-box midfielder, who also attracted interest from Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce  and Leicester City.  But reports in both the Portuguese and Spanish media on Monday said relegation-threatened  Las  Palmas  had struck a deal with Feirense to sign the Nigerian on loan.

 The versatile player, who became one of the hottest properties  in Europe  after helping Nigeria win bronze at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games,  dropped in the pecking order at the Super Eagles since  Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi burst onto the scene. He has also been struggling to impress at Feirense.

 Spanish outlets Canarias Radio La Autonómica and Canarias En Hora  said the player was expected to arrive in Spain  on Monday  for his medical  with La Union Deportiva ahead of Wednesday’s transfer window’s deadline.

 According to udlaspalmas.net, Las Palmas want Etebo because of  his ability to play in different positions.  The 22-year-old former Warri Wolves star  can play both on the left wing, in the midfield  and as a centre  forward. The influential Lisbon-based newspaper A Bola also reported Etebo had agreed to join the La Liga outfit.

  It said  Feirense  had given  the Spanish club  the right of option to buy  the player at the end of the season. Under-fire Las Palmas manager  Paco Jemez  had said he wanted two strong signings to  strengthen the team in their battle to avoid relegation.

 According to  Belgian outlet Het Belang van Limburg,  Genk were in negotiation with Feirense  to sign Etebo but both sides failed to reach a  final agreement.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
