Music rave of the moment Davido has reacted after the official Twitter account of German club Borussia Dortmund used the ‘E Choke’ slang.

Hours before their away game at FC Cologne, Dortmund tweeted photos of their players celebrating goals and then tagged the Nigerian music star in tweets.

The club further added “Dortmund fall on you” to scare their opponents in an 'OBO' way as one of his music titles - ‘fall on you’ says.

Super Eagles legends Victor Ikpeba and Sunday Oliseh also had stints with the Bundesliga outfit as their photos in Dortmund colours were also shared.

Davido replied: “Clear road.”

Nigerian outlet Premium Times reports that ‘E Choke’ is a very popular and currently trending street slang that was started by famous Nigerian singer, David “Davido” Adeleke.

The platform wrote:

“E Choke” literarily means “It Chokes”, however, in the street language, it is an exclamatory remark for something overwhelming or extremely impressive.
“When Nigerians see something or someone that goes beyond expectation, this slang is a way of saying that they were so surprised that they choked on air or on their saliva, though it may be a bit exaggerated.”

PL teams on alert over Dortmund’s Haaland

Meanwhile, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United have all been placed on alert on the availability of Borussia Dortmund striker, Erling Haaland, as it appears Real Madrid have backed out of signing the striker.

Haaland has been on the radar of almost all top club sides in Europe due to his remarkable scoring form for Dortmund with many expecting the Norwegian to move to a bigger club next summer.

Manchester United, Manchester City and German champions, Bayern Munich are amongst the clubs keeping tabs on his future.

Haaland in talks with Zinedine Zidane

Sports Brief earlier reported that Erling Haaland is said to be in talks with Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane as the striker is billed to leave Germany this summer.

The negotiations could see the Norwegian move to the La Liga club as Los Blancos are desperate in landing the striker.

European giants Barcelona, as well as both Manchester Clubs, are also jostling for the signature of the 21-year-old but a sponsorship deal could see Real Madrid eventually land him at the Santiago Bernabeu.
