The Nig Victor Osimhen   is determined to silence his doubters at Wolfsburg after an indifferent debut campaign at the Volkswagen Arena. The 18-year-old appeared twice for the Wolves last season after undergoing a knee surgery that sidelined him for over 12 weeks, and the former Golden Eaglets’ forward admits the injury took the shine off him at the club.

Outright Odds Odds: 2/1 The World champions are considered as the favourites to lift the trophy in Russia this year, although it appears that Joachim Low is using the event as an opportunity to give youth some vital tournament experience ahead of next year’s World Cup. There is no place in the squad for key players like Manuel Neuer, Mats Hummels, Toni Kroos or Thomas Muller, while 14 of the 23 selected are still in single figures in term of senior caps.

Although a gamble, it is very rare that the Germans get it wrong at major tournaments and they will fancy prevailing from Group B featuring Australia and Cameroon, so do not be surprised to see these players deliver the goods come July 2. Chile Outright Odds Odds: 9/4 The back-to-back Copa America champions are making their debut in this e...

goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has no doubt Kylian Mbappe, Thomas Lemar and the rest of France's "fantastic'' new generation would flourish in the Premier League. England were torn apart by the dynamic French attack on Tuesday evening, when Raphael Varane's video-assisted sending-off at the start of the second half surely prevented the margin of victory being greater than the 3-2 outcome. Ousmane Dembele, the 20-year-old Borussia Dortmund forward, capped a fine performance with the winning goal, which was set up by the outrageously talented 18-year-old Mbappe. The striker continues to be linked with a big-money exit from Monaco -- as does teammate Lemar, with Tottenham said to be among those interested in the attacking midfielder. Lloris grinned when asked if he had spoken to Lemar about Spurs, saying: "You are right to ask the question, but I cannot reply.'' And the France captain is enthralled by the potential of his young compatriots. "...
