Former Golden Eaglets star, Akinkunmi Amoo, will appear at the District Court in Denmark on June 23 on alleged charges bothering on sexual assault and other two unspecified others, journalist Osasu Obayiuwana posted on Twitter.

Amoo is reportedly in Nigeria after being granted permission by his club FC Copenhagen to visit his family and at the same time train with the Nigeria Football Federation’s medical staff.

The 20-year-old has been training with the Flying Eagles in Abuja as he continues his rehabilitation from a long-term knee injury.

In the latest development, Amoo, who was the Eaglets’ standout player at the 2019 U-17 World Cup, is set to appear in court in Denmark.

“I understand that @FCKobenhavn striker Akinkunmi Amoo is due to appear in a district court in Copenhagen, Denmark on June 23rd, to respond to charges of alleged sexual assault and two other unspecified counts,” Obayiuwana Osasu wrote on his Twitter page.

“Amoo is currently in Nigeria. Amoo was initially arrested on September 10th 2022 and was released on bail on October 7th of the same year.

“The criminal charges against Amoo were laid by Danish authorities in April, July and August 2022,” he twitted.

Amoo was an unused substitute in the Super Eagles’ second leg of their World Cup playoffs against Ghana in March 2022.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
