Liverpool lead the way for Isak
According to Sami Mokbel, the BBC's chief football correspondent, Liverpool are the only club with a chance to sign Isak, with Arsenal's hopes paling into insignificance.

This intel came from an update he recently gave on the Latter Firm - Arsenal FC YouTube channel.
He said: "I think the ideal scenario for Mikel Arteta is to get Alexander Isak. I think we kind of know that there's probably less than 2% chance of that happening, if that, just because of the sheer numbers involved.
"If you're going for Isak, next season might be the season where you get a chance, when he's just got two years left on his contract."
As such, we can seemingly count the Gunners out of the race, leaving just the Reds in the hunt.

Monday set to be one of the hottest June days ever with temperatures to hit 34C
Monday is set to be one of the hottest June days on record, with highs of 34C serving tennis fans a sweltering start to Wimbledon. Much of England will enter a fourth day of a heatwave, forecast to be hotter than holiday spots in Barbados, Jamaica and Mexico. Since 1960, UK temperatures in June have surpassed 34C in only three years, with the hottest being 35.6C, recorded on June 28 1976. Here is the 4cast for Monday 📅 Hot across southeast England in particular with temperatures reaching 34 Celsius 🌡️ — Met Office (@metoffice) June 29, 2025 Wimbledon is set for its hottest opening day ever on Monday, with temperatures expected to surpass the previous record of 29.3C set on June 25 2001. The hottest day the tournament has seen was on July 1 2015 when temperatures reached 35.7C. A tropical night may also be on the cards, with parts of England to stay above 20C overnight into Tuesday, the Met Office said. Parts of south-east England could then hit 35C on Tuesday. But, Scotland and Northern Ireland face heavy rain and cooler temperatures. Charlwood in Surrey recorded the hottest temperature of the year so far at 33.2C on June 21. Where is the heat building and how long will it last? The week ahead video below tells all and more 👇 — Met Office (@metoffice) June 29, 2025 A second amber heat health alert in two weeks came into force on Friday. The alert, which covers London, the East Midlands, the South East, the South West and the East of England, will last until 6pm on Tuesday. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also issued a yellow alert for Yorkshire and Humber and the West Midlands for the same time period, warning of significant impacts on health and social care services. An amber alert was previously issued for all regions in England on June 19, the first time it had been used since September 2023. An official heatwave is recorded when areas reach a certain temperature for three consecutive days, with thresholds varying from 25C to 28C in different parts of the UK. London Fire Brigade assistant commissioner Thomas Goodall said: 'London is already facing its second heatwave of the year and we know that people will be looking forward to getting outside to enjoy the wonderful weather. 'But the high temperatures and low rainfall in recent months means the current risk of wildfires is severe. 'So far this year, firefighters have responded to around 14 wildfires in the capital. 'There have also been countless callouts to smaller fires involving grass, trees and in other outdoor spaces, as well as in people's gardens. 'During this latest heatwave, it is important everyone acts responsibly to prevent fires from occurring. 'As the weather has been so dry, it only takes a few sparks to lead to a fire spreading rapidly. 'In London, this is can be dangerous because so many of our green spaces lie close to homes and other properties.'

The 3️⃣ key players in the Flamengo v Bayern Munich clash
Bayern Munich showed its title contender credentials at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and eliminated Flamengo in a thrilling round of 16 matchup. Sign up for DAZN to watch ALL FIFA Club World Cup matches for FREE Advertisement The team led by Vincent Kompany quickly gained the upper hand and was able to manage their efforts in the match, controlling it even when it seemed that Flamengo, with plenty of talent, could complicate things. They struck at the right moments and deservedly won. These were the 3️⃣ protagonists of the duel between Flamengo and Bayern Munich. Erick Pulgar The Chilean midfielder was a protagonist, but for all the wrong reasons. He headed a corner kick into his own goalpost, and later didn't play well, having the bad luck of deflecting Leon Goretzka's shot that became Bayern's third goal. He also kicked Harry Kane, injuring his own foot in the process. He was substituted before halftime. Manuel Neuer The German goalkeeper once again made key saves and played with enormous security at the back of the team, playing as a sweeper when the play required it. Harry Kane In the first half, Harry Kane scored with his left foot, his 'bad' foot, from outside the box, and a slight deflection put the shot on target. It was the English striker's 40th goal of the 2024/25 season. Advertisement Later, in the second half, when Flamengo was pushing, he received the ball near the opponent's goal, where he rarely fails. This time he scored with his right foot, and it was his 41st goal. A brace and a standout performance. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
