"Michy Batshuayi? We met in Belgium. We'll see what happens, but he's a player that can be interesting, that's for sure," declared Henry.

Batshauyi's played in the French league for two years and scored 26 goals in 62 appearances and will be of huge benefit to Henry at Monaco.

He also had a loan spell with Budesliga side Borussia Dortmund but a long term on the sidelines ended his exciting run of seven goals in ten matches.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Michy Batshuayi is expected back at Stamford Bridge after La Liga side Valencia confirmed they are in discussion to end his loan deal.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, January 10, Valencia’s sporting director Mateu Alemany confirmed the Belgian forward will be returning to west London this January.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
