Neymar of Paris-Saint-Germain has reportedly emerged as a summer target for Premier League giants Manchester United who are ready to offer his club massive £262 million.

The Brazilian who is currently recuperating from injury has never played in the Premier League before although he was linked with a world record move to Manchester City.

Manchester United interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to be behind the call to bring Neymar to Old Trafford according to the report by Don Balon.

The report added that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will make the special request to bring Neymar to the Premier League immediately the club hire him as United manager permanently.

It will be a big deal for the Brazil international who is regarded as the third best player in the world behind Ronaldo and Messi.

He joined PSG 18 months from reigning Spanish champions Barcelona in a record £200m switch.

But Neymar’s time in France has been far from perfect, with reports suggesting he has failed to settle and craves a move elsewhere.

Neymar was unable to face Manchester United in the Champions League first leg in the round of 16, and he will also miss the return leg in Paris due to the injury.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how ex Manchester United gaffer Jose Mourinho made it clear that Paris-Saint-Germain star Neymar will have to win trophies with Brazil before he can be compared with Pele.

Neymar is known as one of the best footballers in the world considering how he stormed the Spanish La Liga before he left for a world record move to PSG.

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. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. 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
