Gabriel Zakuani's club future may be up in the air but the DR Congo defender will have other matters on his mind this weekend.

After Peterborough United's relegation for the Championship was confirmed on the final day of the season, the 26-year-old former Fulham defender has signalled his intention to leave London Road after rejecting the offer of a new three-year deal last week.

Having made his international comeback at the the 2013 African Nations Cup in South Africa, Zakuani is now hoping to prolong his stay in England and will make a decision on his future in the coming weeks.

Hull City have released Seyi Olofijana from the club after their promotion to the English Premier League.

The former Nigeria international was offloaded along with 11 others, while four players including Senegal veteran, Abdoulaye Faye, were offered new deals.

Without a Championship start since November, Olofinjana was allowed to join the Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday ahead of March's emergency loan deadline for Football League clubs.

The move effectively ended his four-year association with the Tigers, and his release on Thursday was confirmation that there will be no place for him as manager Steve Bruce reshapes his squad. His four-year contract was due to expire in June.

Danny Shittu has signed a new two-year contract with Millwall that will take him through 2015.

The defender’s current deal was due to expire next month, but the club and their 32-year-old Nigerian captain agreed to a new contract.

Shittu, who captained the Lions for most of the current season, was delighted to stay on at the Den.

“There have been a couple months of talks and I'm delighted to have got it done,” he told the club website.

“We have had a lot of ups and for me to be staying here shows that I believe in this club and I believe a lot can come from it.”

Bafana Bafana midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi is hoping to bring his club form to the national team should he be selected for the away crucial World Cup qualifiers against Central Africa Republic and Ethiopia next month.

The big midfielder was in a splendid form on Monday night when he helped his Crystal Palace side to a 2-0 victory over Brighton to reach the Championship final where they will face Watford at Wembley Stadium on 27 May. The winners will be promoted into the English Premiership, meaning if all goes well he might be just 90 minutes away from realising his dream.

“I must admit this has been my best season since coming to England. I have played over 40 games for Crystal Palace and I must admit I am a very happy man. I hope that next season, irrespective of where we finish in the league, I will play just as much,” said Dikgacoi from England.

Davide Somma
Leeds United have released former Bafana Bafana star Davide Somma after the striker spent almost two years on the sidelines through injury.

Although the Yorkshire club will not offer Somma a new contract when his deal expires in June, he will continue his rehabilitation with the club’s medical staff and be offered the opportunity to join in pre-season training to prove his fitness.

“The club will continue to work closely with Davide Somma, a player who suffered a severe knee injury, on his rehab, and the South African international will have the opportunity to join in pre-season training with a view to assessing his fitness,” Leeds said in a statement.

Danny Shittu
Nigeria defender Danny Shittu has been voted Millwall Player of the Season with compatriot Fred Onyedinma Millwall top schoolboy star.

Shittu was the clear favourite to win the award and did so by a landslide, 44% of total votes ahead of David Forde (23%) and James Henry (12%), who came second and third, respectively.

After he received his trophy, Shittu told the club's official site: "I am truly honoured. When you hear the way people talk about you, despite only playing a few games for the club, it means so much.

"To know that you can work hard to achieve what you want at a club, and to have people who pay to watch you and appreciate what you do in support, is so important for a footballer."

El-Hadji Diouf
Leeds forward El-Hadji Diouf has been fined two weeks' wages for his red card in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

The Senegalese striker was sent off for making an offensive gesture at Brighton fans after he scored a penalty.

Leeds boss Brian McDermott told the club's official website: "I've spoken to El-Hadji Diouf and he has apologised regarding the sending off on Saturday.

"He has accepted the sending off and the club have fined him two weeks' wages which is the maximum we can do.

Millwall have underlined their determination to keep captain Danny Shittu by offering him a two-year contract.

The Lions initially offered the 32-year-old a 12-month deal when discussions began last month, but in a show of goodwill they have agreed to Shittu's request for longer terms.

Many had speculated that the two parties were deadlocked over the length of the centre-back's new contract - but it is believed a two-year offer has been on the table for several weeks, according to News at Den.

Bulky central defender Shittu has been an immense figure for Millwall this term and, despite his advancing years, manager Kenny Jackett was quick to sanction a revision of the club's first proposal.

Florent Rouamba
Charlton Athletic have signed midfielder Florent Rouamba on a deal until the end of the season.

The deal is subject to the Burkina Faso international receiving a work permit.

Rouamba, who has played for Moldovan side FC Sheriff Tiraspol for the last six years, had been on trial with the Championship club.

The 26-year-old was a key part of the Burkina Faso side which finished runners-up at this year's Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.

"He has been playing out in Moldova, which is quite a strange route but it happens with a lot of players as they just want to play, regardless of the country," Addicks boss Chris Powell told the club website.

Former Nigeria international Seyi Olofinjana joins English Championship side Sheffield Wednesday on an emergency loan deal from Hull.

The 32-year-old will remain with the Owls until the end of the season.

The towering midfield man began his career at Norwegian club Brann in 2003 after spells in his home nation with Crown FC and Kwara United.

Olofinjana moved to England in the summer of 2004 for £1.7m, joining Wolves under the guidance of current Owls boss Dave Jones.

He went on to make 147 appearances for the Molineux outfit, scoring 18 goals, and finished the 2006/07 campaign as the club’s top marksman with ten strikes.
