WORLD'S RICHEST FOOTBALLER......It's not who you think

-
Forget Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar – a Leicester City reserve player is officially the wealthiest footballer in the world. Faiq Bolkiah, 19, is the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah – who is worth an estimated £15 billion. To give you an idea of the teen’s wealth, you only need to look at his father, Jefri. The Sultan of Brunei’s brother, who is the head of the Brunei Investment agency, reportedly spends a staggering £35m a month on watches, white gold pens and cars, Mirror Online reports. He is believed to have owned around 2,300 cars – including Bentleys, Ferraris and Rolls-Royces – and had Michael Jackson perform a private concert for his 50th birthday.

The NBA, responding to efforts to legalize sports betting in New York, told the state senate the league "supports the passage of a comprehensive sports betting bill." The NBA wants 1 percent of every bet made on its games and also seeks more widespread access to gambling for sports fans. NBA commissioner Adam Silver's league appears to be the first to come around on sports gambling. The league on Wednesday formally requested a set of laws that could be the basis for professional sports leagues pushing for national legalized wagering on games, according to ESPN. Dan Spillane, an attorney for the NBA, testified in front of a New York State Senate committee at a public hearing and for the first time outlined what the league's price would be to become a partner in legalizing the multibillion-dollar industry. "We have studied these issues at length," Spillane said in his statement to lawmakers. "Our conclusion is that the time has come for a di...

Official: Arsenal Loan Out Nigeria U20 Skipper Nwakali To MVV Maastricht

Dutch club MVV Maastricht have confirmed the loan signing of Nigeria U20 international Kelechi Nwakali from Arsenal. Nwakali had to be recalled from a loan spell at VVV Venlo due to his lack of first-team opportunities, and has penned a deal that will keep him at MVV for the rest of the 2017-2018 campaign. ''Last season we have already seen that Kelechi is a multifunctional attacking midfielder, who has a nose for the 'final pass','' coach  Ron Elsen told  MVV's official website. ''He returns in an attacking and dominant way of playing, as MVV wants to use it. He can get away at '10', but also as a winger.  ''At VVV Venlo he has also shown at Eredivisie  that he can be of value for the team in which he plays. At MVV Maastricht, however, he can collect even more minutes of play.  ''We know what we can and should expect from him. That has absolutely weighed in our decision to bring him back to Maastricht.'' ...

Real Madrid Manager Zinedine Zidane has expressed support to France forward Karim Benzema, ahead of their Spanish Copa del Rey quarter final return leg against Leganes.  Real fans had whistled Benzema during the football club’s most recent Spanish La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruña. “He [Benzema] wanted to get back quickly and he’s back with the squad now. The only thing he enjoys really is being out with us on the pitch, so it’s good to have him back,”  GOAL  quoted Zidane as saying. “But it’s not good to see him getting whistled when he gets back. This has happened with him and could happen with others.  “What we need from the fans is that they’re with us. Of course, they’re within their rights; they’ve paid so can have opinions, but I want fans to be with us for 90 minutes.  “Karim will be available tomorrow [for the return leg].”  Real Madrid defeated Leganes 1-0 in the first leg.  The return leg will be played at Madrid.
