     The £200m man was criticised for snubbing the 18-year-old after the game

    Neymar’s decision to snub Celtic youngster Anthony Ralston’s request to swap shirts at the end of Paris Saint Germain’s 5-0 victory was because he was saving it to donate to charity.
The £200m world’s most expensive player was criticised for refusing to shake the 18-year-old’s hand or trade shirts following Tuesday night’s encounter, something Ralston called “not a big deal”.
He said at the time: “It was not a big deal. I won't dwell on that too much.
If that is the case, and that is the way he wants to be, then fine. I don't care. Like I said, everybody is different, so I won't lose any sleep over it.”
But it has now been revealed that Neymar, who was laughed at and shouted in the face of by Ralston during the game, kept the shirt so he could donate it to the charity of the wife of Celtic and Liverpool legend Kenny Danglish.
He tweeted: “Very much appreciated Neymar – thank you! Every penny raised will help my wife Marina’s breast cancer patients at Larks.”


 Neymar responded: “It was a pleasure to help!!”

Awoniyi Key To Nottingham Forest Premier League Survival — Merson

Former Arsenal midfielder, Paul Merson has backed Taiwo Awoniyi to play a crucial role in Nottingham Forest’s relegation fight. The Nigeria international has scored four goals in his last two Premier League games for Nottingham. Awoniyi scored a brace in Steve Cooper’s side 2-2 draw against Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge last weekend. Nottingham Forest currently sit in 16th position on the table, three points away from relegation zone. “For Forest to go 2-1 down and draw 2-2, it’s a massive, massive point,” Merson told Skysports. “Awoniyi, who scored the two goals, was a threat. He held the ball up well. I saw him the other week playing away from home and he was taken off, he didn’t do well. “Now he (Awoniyi) looks a handful, he’s holding it up and playing it simple and scored two goals. They were simple. “With him playing like that with a couple of games left, I’d be quite shocked if Forest went down from here. To come back with that away record is very, very good.”

  Italian agent Oscar Damiani says he does not expect Victor Osimhen to leave Napoli in the Summer. According to Damiani, it would be difficult for any club to meet up with Napoli’s asking price for the Nigerian. Osimhen has been in shining form for the Partenopei this season courting the interest of the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. On the back of his spectacular performances, Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis slammed a €150m price tag on the striker. Damian however, claimed no club would be willing to pay such an exorbitant fee for the 24-year-old. “There is no club in the world that can really offer this money (€150million) to Napoli. I’m sure Osimhen will stay another year in blue and will continue to be a point of reference for the club,” Damiani said as per Napoli Magazine. Osimhen has scored 28 goals in 36 appearances across all competitions for Luciano Spalletti’s side this season.
