Wide-man Lamine is of course fresh off playing a starring role for Spain at the recently-completed Nations League.
Whilst the 17-year-old and his La Roja teammates were ultimately put to the sword by Portugal in the tournament's finale, Lamine, en route to the showpiece, continued to build on his reputation as world football's very best young player.
In the semi-finals against France, the winger notched a brace, amid a brilliant individual showing.
It is another of his goals, though, which has this weekend earned for Lamine a noteworthy accolade.
As per a statement across the competition's official social media channels, the Barcelona standout has secured the award for Nations League Goal of the Tournament.

Nottingham Forest in talks with Morgan Gibbs-White over new contract
Nottingham Forest are in talks with Morgan Gibbs-White over a new contract. The Athletic reported on July 10 that the 25-year-old was set to undergo a medical with Tottenham Hotspur. However, The Athletic later reported that Forest were considering reporting Spurs due to what they felt was an illegal approach to sign Gibbs-White. Forest sources, speaking anonymously as they weren't authorised to do so publicly, also had concerns over how Tottenham became aware of confidential details within his contract, which includes a £60m release clause. Advertisement He has since flown out to Portugal to join the Forest training camp after being allowed extra time at home because of a private family matter and featured in the team's 0-0 pre-season draw with Ligue 1 side Monaco on July 19. Gibbs-White, who joined Forest from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2022, has two years left on his Forest contract. As reported by The Athletic, Gibbs-White was high on the recruitment lists of several leading clubs. The England international was strongly considered by Manchester City heading into this summers transfer window before they opted to sign Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders instead. He was a standout performer for Forest in 2024-25, registering seven goals and 10 assists as Nuno Espirito Santo's side secured a seventh-place finish in the Premier League. Gibbs-White has made 118 appearances for the club, scoring 18 goals and providing 28 assists. He made his senior international debut with England in September under interim manager Lee Carsley and has been capped four times by the team.

43 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No.43?
The Houston Texans are less than 50 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. Texans Wire will daily inform you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and select the player who best represented the number during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has worn No. 43 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 43 No. 43 currently belongs to fullback Jakob Johnson. An international player, the German-born linebacker-turned-fullback has played for the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders, mostly seeing action on special teams. He was in Foxborough during the same time as Nick Caley, so a familiarity with the offense could help him carve out a role as an offensive weapon that offers more upside on punts and kickoff coverage. Since Johnson has yet to play a live game in a Texans uniform, he's not the G.O.A.T. of H-Town's No. 43. However, is there a right answer to the equation? FB Jakob Johnson (Present) LB Neville Hewitt (2021-2024) CB Shareece Wright (2018) DB Corey Moore (2015–-2017) DB Elbert Mack (2013) FB Jameel Cook (2006-2007) CB Kenny Wright (2002-2004) Best Player: Neville Hewitt A special teams favorite, Hewitt was essential in helping the Texans rebuild. Over four seasons, he filled in at linebacker, but offered more value on kickoffs, punts and kickoff return coverage. Over his four seasons, Hewitt notched 147 tackles, two tackles for loss and an interception. He won't be making it to Canton or even the Texans' Ring of Honor, but being called the best player to wear No. 43 has to mean something, right?
