A Nigerian sports betting firm has dismissed claims that it disrespected the country’s ailing president, Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently in London undergoing treatment for an undisclosed ailment. “We would just like to put this on record, Nigerians want their president back, we are only trying to voice the yearning of the people via the little platform we have,” Naija Bet tweeted on Thursday in reply to a tweet by The Guardian on the subject.

Neymar was pictured at Porto airport on Wednesday evening   Barcelona forward Neymar has paid his buyout clause of 222m euros (£200m), the Spanish club say. Neymar, 25, is set to sign for Paris St-Germain for a world record fee, after telling Barca he wanted to leave on Wednesday.
