Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Morocco and Sevilla shot-stopper Yassine Bounou scooped home the Zamora Trophy following the completion of the 2021-22 La Liga season.

Bounou edged La Liga winner and Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to the individual accolade on the back of his impressive displays in between the sticks for Sevilla in the just-ended campaign.

His latest feat makes him the second African to have won the top goalkeeping diadem in Spain after legendary Cameroon custodian Jacques Celestin Songo'o, who won the award in the 1996-1997 season with Deportivo de La Coruña.

Neymar explains Al Hilal move

Neymar Junior has explained the reasoning behind his unconventional yet bold decision to exchange the European football scene for the riches of Saudi Arabia.

The 31-year-old completed a groundbreaking transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Al-Hilal on August 15 and his unveiling ceremony is scheduled for later this week.

Under the terms of his new agreement, the former Barcelona forward has secured a two-year contract that is anticipated to yield an annual income of approximately $100 million.
