Peter Turkson is now joint favourite to be the next Pope

The betting market for the next Pope is still available and Peter Turkson has now joined Mark Ouellet and Luis Antonio Tagle at the top of the odds to be the next Pope.

Bookmakers make the trio 4/1 joint favourites at the top of the betting with the market unable to split the three and pick an outright favourite.

Turkson could well be the first black Pope if he was chosen next and he has regularly been mentioned in the past as a key option to take over from Francis.

Cardinal Luis Tagle, or Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle to give him his full name, has been an outright favourite in the betting market in the past but is now alongside Turkson and Cardinal Marc Ouellet.
