SuperSport United have confirmed that Senegalese striker Mame Niang has signed a new contract with the club.

The on-loan University of Pretoria striker has agreed a new deal with Matsatsantsa, after they decided to offer him a second chance with the club.

SuperSport’s official Twitter account stated, “Mame Niang has signed a three-year deal with Matsatsantsa.”

Niang has been in impressive form while on loan with Tuks this season, scoring 10 goals as the club squeezed into the PSL’s top eight, despite only gaining promotion to South Africa’s elite league at the end of last season.

Democratic Republic of Congo and West Bromwich midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu played party pooper at the weeked in an amazing 5-5 English Premier League draw with Manchester United.

Mulumbu scored with nine minutes left and the Baggies equalised soon after at the Hawthorns to deprive Alex Ferguson of a victory in his final match as boss of the Red Devils.

Senegalese Demba Ba set up the opening goal as Chelsea won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge against Everton, whose goal was created by Nigerian Victor Anichebe.

ENGLAND

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.

Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse is a target for German giants Borussia Dortmund.

Champions League finalists Dortmund are expected to lose their star striker Robert Lewandowski, who is set to join fierce rivals Bayern Munich but has also been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, this summer.

That has left Dortmund desperate for new options in attack and the prolific Cisse is one possible target this summer.

The 27-year-old Senegal international joined Newcastle from Freiburg for £9million in January 2012, and hit 13 goals in his 14 appearances last season.

Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone was among the stars as Wigan stunned Manchester City 1-0 at the weekend to lift the FA Cup trophy for the first time.

The African star with the blond dyed hair troubled City throughout with his running and now turns his attention to keeping the cup winners in the Premier League.

Unfashionable Wigan visit Arsenal on Tuesday and host Aston Villa on Sunday, needing to win both ganes to be sure of avoiding relegation.

ENGLAND

Arouna Kone helped Wigan Athletic to a historic English FA Cup triumph on Saturday after they edged compatriot Yaya Toure's Manchester City 1:0 in the final.

Wigan's determination to lift the crown for the first time in their history was helped by the sending off of Argentine defender Pablo Zabaleta in the 84th minute.

Kone and Yaya played every moment of the thrilling game which was decided in the 91st minute when substitute Ben Watson headed home from a corner kick.

Toure came close to scoring early on, but his shot was turned away by Spain's U-21 star Joel Robles who was in goal for Wigan.

Freiburg defender Fallou Diagne is reportedly on the verge of joining Borussia Dortmund, reports France Football.

The Millionaires are actively searching for defensive reinforcements seeing as how Felipe Santana looks likely to leave in the summer.

Jurgen Klopp has looked at a number of players over the last couple of months, but it appears he has decided to make a move on the Senegalese stopper.

The player who has a contract until June 2016 should be available for mere €4 million in the summer and it is no secret Borussia will have money to spend in the upcoming transfer window.

South Africa have moved up six places in the Fifa world rankings to break into the top 10 of African teams.

Bafana Bafana are the ninth best team in their zone and the 56th best team in the world according to world football's governing body.

Top three teams Cote d'voire, Ghana and Mali had no changes, while African champions Nigeria crept up the list, reaching 28th place overall, but the improvement does not lift them from fourth place among the teams from their continent.

Equatorial Guinea, the Africa Cup of Nations runners-up, slip to 10th in Africa, while Cameroon are the side to slip out of the top 10.

Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone scored as FA Cup finalists Wigan edged West Bromwich Albion 3-2 at the weekend to boost hopes of dodging relegation from the English Premier League.

Kone, who stands out with his dyed blond hair, was in the Ivorian squad that flopped at the 2013 Cup of Nations, losing to eventual champions Nigeria in the quarter-finals.

Lacina Traore was another happy Ivorian goal poacher, coming on as a late substitute for Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala to equalise and then set up the winner for Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o.

ENGLAND

Papiss Cisse and Cheick Tiote have denied claims of disharmony at Newcastle, insisting players are united in the goal to avoid relegation.

Reports  suggested there was some division in the squad after heavy home defeats by Sunderland and Liverpool.

"Every player is together, there is no divide in the team," striker Cisse told the club's website,  while midfielder Tiote added: "We are in this together."

Newcastle are 17th in the table, five points above the relegation zone.

They travel to West Ham on Saturday before finishing the season with at relegated Queens Park Rangers and at home to Arsenal.
