Binford striker Evan Tony, who was banned for an alleged gambling offense, made his comeback in a secret friendly on Wednesday (4) and made an immediate impact, kicking off his full return to action in January. Three top clubs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, are said to be coveting him and are ready to make a bid when the winter transfer window opens.
In Wednesday's warm-up match between Binford and Italy's Komu, Ayundoni, who has just been cleared to resume training in September, returned to action after a gap of 150 days and was in satisfactory form as he fired in a goal in the 2-2 draw and showed a number of great combinations with Ma'obi in those 61 minutes of play.
