He finished calmly from a Mario Lemina pass, underlining his reputation as one of Europe’s most dangerous forwards. The 2023 CAF Player of the Year said his confidence comes from hard work and belief in his own ability. He stressed that as a striker he is expected to deliver in big games and that he embraces that responsibility. Osimhen added that while he is proud of his goals, the most important thing is […]

Trump plans prolonged blockade of Iran, says report

President Donald Trump has told his aides to prepare for a prolonged United States naval blockade of Iran’s key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, according to US media reports.
