Juventus set to sell Dybala and sign £87-rated 19-year-old star who is also wanted by Man City

- Paulo Dybala could be sold by Juventus in a bid to fund Joao Felix's signing this summer

- The youngster scored a hat-trick for Benfica in their Europa League clash few days back

- Felix has now emerged as top priority signing for the Serie A side as well as a number of other top European teams

Italian League giants Juventus have reportedly concluded plans to sell Paulo Dybala and fund the signing of Portugal teenage sensation Joao Felix.

The striker became the youngest player to net a hat-trick in an Europa League earlier this week after inspiring Benfica to 4-2 win over Eintracht in the first leg of their quarterfinal clash.

His goal tally for the season stands at 14 goals and two assists in 30 appearances for the topflight side - a massive feat for the 19-year-old.

Felix was promoted to Benfica's first team in the summer of 2018, and he has been one of the discoveries of the ongoing season.

He has a deal with his current club until June 2023, however, any club that want to sign him must cough out about £87 million to secure his services.

The youngster has been tipped as the next Cristiano Ronaldo of his generation and the Serie A side are considering a deal for the teenager, but want to sell Dybala to raise funds for him.

Meanwhile, Manchester United's hopes of landing the young striker could be endangered with the Italian League giants interest in the youngster.

SunSport also reports that Felix has made it known he would love to play alongside Ronaldo, which means that the deal will favour Juve more than United at the end of the day.

Speaking to Tuttosport, he said: "All the best Portuguese players have gone to play in the most important foreign leagues, and of course I'd like to do that too.

"I have two big dreams: I'd like to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo because he's simply the best. He's an idol, a world icon, an example for everyone."

Legit.ng earlier reported that Manchester City are interested in signing Portuguese whizkid Joao Felix valued around £105 million.

The 19-year-old has been in hot form for his Primera Liga side this campaign, scoring ten goals and four assists in 18 league games.

SunSport reports that the attacker has also attracted interests from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus due to his recent form.

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
