– Reports in Spain have said Trent Alexander-Arnold has been told by interim manager Alvaro Arbeloa to leave Real Madrid this summer, but The Daily Mail reports that is not true. The England international has spent two months out with a leg injury, but he is due to return soon and continue his career at the Bernabéu.
– Crystal Palace have rejected a bid from AC Milan for striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, according to Footmercato. However, the Serie A club haven’t given up on signing him just yet. They are reportedly determined to find a deal that works for all parties. Mateta, for his part, has already agreed personal terms with AC Milan, having communicated his desire to leave Palace earlier this month. The France international has scored eight goals in 22 Premier League games and is under contract in South London until June 2027.
– Liverpool are set to rival Bayern Munich for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, according to BILD. The 19-year-old winger has been sensational in the Bundesliga this season, with eight goal involvements in 16 games to date. As such, some of the world’s biggest clubs have been linked with a summer move for Diomande, who has only been in Leipzig for six months. Liverpool are reportedly in the market for a left-winger and have shortlisted the Ivory Coast international as a potential option, as have Manchester City.
– Manchester United view Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton as realistic summer midfield targets, The i Paper reports. While the club have also been tracking the progress of Nottingham Forest‘s Elliot Anderson, they believe he will instead join Manchester City in the long-term.
– Chelsea have an interest in Bayern Munich center back Kim Min-Jae, according to Bild journalist Christian Falk. Chelsea, who have held transfer talks for Rennes’ Jérémy Jacquet, have drawn up a shortlist of defenders for the summer. Min-Jae is on that list, and the 29-year-old defender could be available given he has only made seven Bundesliga starts this season.

Katie Price’s bombshell engagement has reportedly came as a huge shock to her ex boyfriend JJ Slater, whom she had only parted ways a few weeks ago.
The former glamour model, 47, shared the delightful news with her fans by posting a picture of a giant diamond ring on her finger after her entrepreneur fiancé, Lee Andrews, popped the question during a lavish break in Dubai.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, the mother-of-five shared a slew of snaps as she posed by a sea of red roses spelling out ‘will you marry me?’
Following the surprise announcement, sources told Daily Mail that the news came as a complete shock to JJ, 32, who is currently in Miami with his family and has been ‘healing his broken heart.’
It comes after the mother-of-five ended her romance with the Married At First Sight UK star JJ, 31, after insisting JJ wasn’t ‘husband material.’
However, Katie has now claimed on the latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, that she and JJ actually broke up some time ago.
She said: ‘I don’t wanna waste my time. You know, if I’m not loved up and it’s not going, these are mistakes I’ve made in the past.
They began dating in February 2024, after JJ rose to fame on E4’s MAFS UK.
Katie even spoke of having a child together, her sixth, but in the end, it wasn’t meant to be.
A new NHS database of genes linked to cancer could enable patients and their families in England to find out whether they are at risk of developing the disease.
People will be able to have their genetic information compared to the world-first register of 120 genes known to increase the likelihood of getting cancer, NHS England has said.
Those identified as having an inherited risk will be offered routine check-ups and screening for certain cancers, including breast and prostate cancer. Patients could also be tested to see whether they would respond better to particular treatments, allowing for personalised care.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the “life-changing and life-saving” tool would fast-track screening and allow more cancers to be caught sooner.
Tens of thousands of cancer patients and those with a family history of the disease already undergo genetic testing on the NHS every year. Those known to have a higher risk profile will be added to the new register.
They will be given tailored information about what they can do to lower their chance of developing cancer or detect it early.
The NHS said it was building the register as part of a 10-year plan to improve prevention and treatment of cancer.
NHS England’s national cancer director told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme it was “the first time any health care system has brought together all the information about all the genetic risk into a single place.”
Prof Peter Johnson said it pulled together the tests patients were already offered to check their cancer susceptibility into a single register, “so that we can contact people to offer them screening and in some cases preventative treatment”.
This will allow practitioners to “keep tabs on people” and offer them new tests and treatments as they are rolled out, he added, while stressing it would be “incredibly confidential and secure”.
Johnson said that while it could be “very daunting” for people to find out their cancer risk, it meant the disease could be picked up as early as possible.
The NHS National Inherited Cancer Predisposition Register follows a similar database for Lynch syndrome which saw more than 12,000 people offered routine preventative screening after they were identified as being at higher risk, according to the NHS.
Charlie Grinstead, a 32-year-old diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2020, said his Lynch syndrome diagnosis gave him access to immunotherapy after unsuccessful chemotherapy – and proved to be the “the key to my recovery”.
Streeting said: “One in every two people will get cancer in their lifetime but that does not mean the chances are random – many people face a higher risk through the genes they inherit.
“And while we cannot do anything about inherited genes, we can do something about what we do with that information.”
He said the “world-leading genetic register” would allow personalised and preventative care to be provided sooner.
“This register won’t just supercharge innovation – it will be life changing and life-saving, allowing the NHS to develop individual care, fast-track screening and tailored information to enable more cancers to be caught earlier.”
Claire Rowney, the chief executive of Breast Cancer Now, said the move would “transform the lives of women who are at increased risk of breast cancer due to their family history or genetics”.
She said it had to be accessible to all clinicians and designed to ensure those with an increased risk profile received “joined-up care”.

Chris Pratt has to hold back with his jokes due to his fame.
Pratt appeared on KIIS FM’s The Smallzy Show to promote his new film Mercy. In the film, Pratt plays a detective who gets accused of his wife’s murder, and an AI judge tells him he has only 90 minutes to prove his innocence.
Smallzy, 41, asked him if the sci-fi thriller made him think over his past online behaviour.
“Well, I don’t know that it was necessarily the movie that taught me that, but I feel as though the entire collective of humanity is learning this lesson at the same time,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star said. “And yes, I am now increasingly guarded over what I put out on the internet.”
“I mean, when Twitter, back when X was Twitter, came out, I might have had 100 people that followed me, all of whom were close people that I would say inappropriate things to, behind closed doors to make them laugh. And so, I would do that on Twitter. And then before long I was like, oh, I have 60 million people on here who follow me. I cannot say those things,” he reflected.
Sharing an example of how it plays out, he said, “It’s like I saw this funny article about boats. Like what you name your boat. And if you have a $200 fishing boat and you call it the ‘Salty Hooker,’ it’s pretty funny. But if you have a $200 million yacht and you call it the ‘Salty Hooker;’ you’ll become a pariah in society,” he said.
Mercy hits theaters on January 23.
A federal judge on Friday ruled President Donald Trump’s administration unlawfully suspended funding awarded to support the expansion of electric vehicle charger infrastructure, in a victory for 20
Democratic-led states that sued over the action.
U.S. District Judge Tana Lin in Seattle ruled in favor of 20 states as well as the District of Columbia, which had filed their lawsuit after the U.S. Department of Transportation in February suspended an EV charger infrastructure program enacted by Congress in 2021 under Democratic President Joe Biden.
Lin, a Biden appointee, said the DOT and the Federal Highway Administration “yanked the NEVI Formula Program’s cord out of the outlet,” without working within the statutory confines of established administrative law as required.
Environmental groups including the Sierra Club hailed the ruling, saying it ensures states can move forward with building infrastructure funded by the law. Lin’s order permanently bars the Transportation Department from taking away the states’ funds or canceling their previously approved implementation plans.
“Judge Lin’s order is a resounding win for the rule of law and for smart investment in our clean energy future,” Mike Faulk, a spokesperson for Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown, said in a statement.
The Transportation Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Shortly after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy took office in February, the DOT suspended the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, which was part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that Biden signed into law in 2021.
The Trump administration has pursued a number of policies to boost the sale of gas-powered vehicles and cut EV incentives for automakers and consumers.
States led by California, Colorado and Washington sued in May, alleging the Trump administration was wrongly withholding billions of dollars they were previously awarded.
The administration argued it was but a temporary pause, which it later ended after the judge earlier issued a preliminary injunction and the agency issued new guidance.
But Lin said the 2021 law never contemplated even temporary pauses in funding for the construction of EV infrastructure.
“In short, Defendants defied the will of Congress by withholding funds in a manner not contemplated by the IIJA,” she wrote.
The U.S. Senate is slated next week to consider legislation that has already cleared the U.S. House of Representatives that would redirect $879 million in funds approved under Biden for the EV charging network to other infrastructure priorities.
