Clement Mutahi Bischoff: Who is the Harambee Stars Prospect Lined Up to Replace Man City-Bound Ait-Nouri At Wolves?
Bischoff, who is legible to represent Harambee Stars, was set to join Brighton for 1.2 Billion in the summer before the transfer hit a snag, but who is the exciting Danish-born wonderkid?

The equaliser came five minutes before half-time, and it was symptomatic of England’s poor defending throughout. Kyle Walker, who had been solid in recent games, lost track of Ismaila Sarr at the back post.
The Watford winger snuck in unnoticed and coolly slotted past Henderson, ending Tuchel’s run of three clean sheets and swinging the momentum firmly in Senegal’s favour.
It was a blow from which England never fully recovered. The Three Lions looked vulnerable every time Senegal attacked, with the midfield often bypassed and the backline repeatedly caught flat-footed.

There was a glimmer of hope when Jude Bellingham found the net late on, but the goal was disallowed after VAR spotted a handball from Levi Colwill in the buildup.
