Golden Eaglets retain their crown: Nigeria became only the second side to retain the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a 2-0 win against Mali in Vina Del Mar. Victor Osimhen stole the show once again thanks to his record-breaking tenth goal of the tournament, with Funsho Bamgboye adding a second moments later. Samuel Diarra had saved an early Osinachi Ebere penalty as the Malians played their part in an entertaining finale to Chile 2015. The penalty came as both sides were just finding their rhythm in the opening exchanges, Chato the culprit with a handball. Ebere saw his low effort saved brilliantly by Diarra, the No17's follow up header hit the bar before a third bite of the cherry was blocked by the Malian defence. Both sides had chances in a tense opening period, with Golden Eaglets skipper Kelechi Nwakali hitting just wide and Boubacar Traore seeing his glancing header tipped over by Akpan Udoh. The second half saw the game burst into life, with Emmanuel Amuneke's...

Edouard Mendy has become the latest Chelsea player to leave for the Saudi Pro League. The Senegalese goalkeeper has joined Al-Ahli after falling out of favour at Stamford Bridge. Mendy, 31, kept only one clean sheet in 10 Premier League appearances last term as Kepa Arrizabalaga usurped the Africa Cup of Nations winner's place between the sticks. He will now follow centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly and N'Golo Kante in moving to Saudi Arabia. In a farewell post on Instagram, Mendy said: "As I prepare to begin a new chapter in my career, it's hard to say goodbye.
