PSG's Kylian Mbappe in contention to be first two-time Golden Boy

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe is still in contention to become the first double Golden Boy winner as the list for the award was cut from 80 to 60.
The Golden Boy award has been handed out annually since 2003, when Rafael van der Vaart claimed the inaugural prize. Winners since have included Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Aguero, Paul Pogba and Isco. Wayne Rooney and Raheem Sterling are the only Englishmen to receive the gong.
Mbappe won the award in 2017 and is a strong contender to retain it following a season which culminated in him being named the World Cup's best young player after helping France win the tournament.
United States internationals Christian Pulisic and Timothy Weah are also in contention,despite Weah not being included in the original 80. He is included after making an impressive start to the campaign at Paris Saint-Germain.
There are three English players who are still included, with Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, Everton's Thomas Davies and Manchester City's Phil Foden in the final 60.
But Martin Odegaard, the Real Madrid prodigy on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, is among those who failed to make the cut. Manchester United prospect Angel Gomes as well as Reece Oxford also missed out.

GameStop To Introduce Installment Payment Plans for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Image
Preparing for the release of the Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S, GameStop is now preparing to launch an installment payment plan program for the next-gen consoles. Revealed in a series of internal documents, the American video game, consumer electronics and gaming merchandise retailer is looking to help offer an alternative way to own the systems. GameStop is currently looking into installment plans, direct layaway and rent-to-own plans. Installment plans would be offered through third-party companies like Quadpay and Klarna, requiring customers to split their purchase into four payments over six weeks with no interest. Layaway would see customers pay small installments over a certain period of time to clear the full payment before they receive their consoles. While the rent-to-own plans would let customers rent the new consoles for an upfront fee, with the rest of the cost paid over a 12 month period. Customers can then fully pay off the cost to own a console or retu

  Two hundred children could die each day from hunger in northeastern Nigeria as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country, a humanitarian agency has warned. Up to half of all children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, international charity Save the Children said on Monday, after screening the health of boys and girls in the region between June and October in 2016. The figure could be even worse in areas that are out of reach because of insecurity, according to the report. Children are presenting in desperate conditions and facing severe malnutrition, often in combination with other life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea," said Ben Foot, Save the Children country director. "For some cases this may be the second or third time they have fought malnutrition so their immune systems are already severely weakened." Violent attacks on civilians since 2009 by the armed group Boko Haram have affected almost 15 milli
