Read our Privacy notice Burnley are in advanced talks to sign Chelsea striker Armando Broja, the PA news agency understands. Scott Parker's Clarets are preparing for life back in the Premier League after finishing as Championship runners-up last season. Burnley have looked to offset some key summer departures by bolstering their side and now look set to bring in frontman Broja from Chelsea. PA understands the 23-year-old keen to make the switch and ready to sign a five-year deal at Turf Moor. Burnley could reportedly pay in the region of £20million to sign the Chelsea academy graduate, who has spent time on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, Southampton, Fulham and Everton. The Albania international did not score during last season's injury-disrupted loan at Goodison Park, with the Toffees deciding not to take up their option to make the move permanent.

I'm a female solo traveller - here's how to holiday in the world's richest country on a budget

A seasoned female solo traveller has revealed six ways to explore the world's richest country without breaking the bank. Known for its glitzy casinos, yacht-lined harbours and prestigious events, Monaco has a long-standing reputation for being the ultimate playground for the rich and famous. More than seven million people flock to the sovereign state each year, many of which are day-trippers visiting famed attractions such as the Monaco Grand Prix and the Casino de Monte-Carlo. As of 2025, Monaco's GBP per capita in 2024 stands at $227,073 (£182,467) - making it the wealthiest country in the world, according to World Population Review. Despite its overwhelming opulence, the majority of residents are not necessarily affluent, which means getting the full experience while visiting the costly country can be surprisingly affordable with a few simple hacks. Camille Esteve, a solo traveller and writer for Monaco Tribune, laid out her top tips on how to dine, sleep, shop and lap up luxury for less in Monaco. Booking According to Camille, choosing the right time of year is crucial for finding cheap prices in Monaco due to high demand during peak seasons, like the Monaco Grand Prix and summer months. Despite its overwhelming opulence, the majority of residents are not necessarily affluent, which means getting the full experience while visiting the costly country can be surprisingly affordable with a few simple hacks Off-peak seasons, such as November or other colder months, offer more affordable options for flights and accommodations. She added: 'Plan your visit in September or October when you can enjoy the Indian summer, or between November and April, since the climate is still mild.' Accommodation A one-night stay at a hotel in Monte Carlo can cost more than the average person's monthly rent. Fortunately, Monaco is surrounded by the French border and all of its quaint, wallet-friendly towns. The solo traveller suggests booking accommodation in places like Beausoleil, Cap d'Ail or Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, and arrive in minutes to the Principality by foot. Food Rather than splurge on high-end dinners at celebrity chef restaurants, Camille chose to take advantage of Monaco's affordable lunch menus, where many upscale establishments offer three-course meals for under €30 (£26). For a reasonably priced, gourmet local meal, she recommends La Condamine market. Located at the foot of the Rock, on the Place d'Armes, this market is a popular gathering spot for local workers and their families. Inside the food hall, numerous stalls serve Mediterranean specialties prepared with local ingredients at low prices - Italian pasta, fish, socca (chickpea pancakes), pissaladière (a type of pizza), pizzas, roast meats, and Lebanese cuisine are all available to eat in or take away. Transportation Although Monaco's streets are often peppered with Lamborghinis and Ferraris, Camille explored the compact two-square-kilometre principality either on foot or by using public lifts and buses, which cost as little as €1.50 (£1.30). She noted that some destinations might appear to require a steep climb, but are actually reachable by lift - though these are sometimes discreetly located. Visitors are advised to look for signage or ask locals for help. For rainy days or tired feet, Monaco offers an excellent bus network, with single tickets, valid for 30 minutes, costing €1.50. These can be purchased via the free Monapass app or by tapping a bank card directly on the terminal inside the bus (up to five uses per day, with one card per person). To navigate efficiently, she recommended the Citymapper app, which provides precise directions, including which bus to take and where to disembark. Sights and activities Monaco can be fully enjoyed without spending a fortune at the Casino, as the principality offers a variety of culturally significant sites and attractions that are either free or available at a very low cost. Notable landmarks include Monaco Cathedral, the Saint-Martin gardens, Place du Palais (where the changing of the Prince's Carabinieri guard takes place daily at 11:55 am), the Palais de Justice, the Princess Grace Irish Library, and Fort Antoine (excluding showtimes). Alternatively, the Casino Gardens, The he Japanese Garden, The Métropole Shopping Centre and The New National Museum of Monaco (Villa Paloma and Villa Sauber) are some great free and affordable options. Shopping and souvenirs One traveller shared on their blog that they preferred to spend spare euros on day trips to nearby towns rather than new clothes. However, for those inspired by the opulent fashion of Monaco's well-dressed residents, Le Port is a more budget-friendly area for shopping compared to Monte Carlo. Prices tend to start lower there, and occasional discounts can create the sense of finding a real bargain. As for souvenirs, affordable options are plentiful in Monaco's historic district, with shirts costing less than ten euros.

Where is Graham Quinn now? Myleene Klass and ex's bitter war of words as he accuses her of 'bullying and abuse' while she claims he cheated on her with a celebrity

Graham Quinn has found himself back in the public eye after Myleene Klass accused him of cheating on her with another celebrity - at her own birthday party. The bodyguard, 47, started dating Myleene in 2001, having met when he worked as security guard for her pop group Hear'Say. The couple went on to welcome daughters Ava, 17, and Hero, 14, and tied the knot in 2011 after a decade together - only to separate six months later. In the years that followed, Graham - who is the brother of Keith Duffy 's wife Lisa -retreated from the limelight as he attempted to rebuild his life in Ibiza. However, this week, he hit headlines once again when Myleene claimed she walked in on him taking the clothes off an unnamed star who has built a brand on her 'family values'. And if history repeats itself, Graham will have plenty to say about Myleene, having previously accused her of 'bullying and abuse' while lashing out at her continuing to mention his name in the press. Graham has kept a low profile in recent years, seemingly deleting his Instagram profile and is no longer active on X/ Twitter. His X account was last active in 2020 and his bio simply reads: 'Living in Ibiza'. However, his last X post was a lengthy message directed at Myleene, in which he accused her of 'bullying' and 'abuse' in a sensational online statement. The rant was sparked by a 2007 interview Myleene gave to the Daily Mail, in which she discussed his past drug offences. In the chat, Myleene mused: 'Before we even considered having a relationship, he was very upfront with me about what he had done. 'He was young and he got caught up in the wrong crowd. I was shocked but I also respected his honesty. He was haunted by it every day of his life and he still talks about it now.' After the interview resurfaced in 2020, Graham broke his silence on their split to attack the musician, branding her 'nasty' and 'vindictive' and accusing her of playing 'childish games. Having previously maintained an eight-year public silence on their relationship, he posted the essay on his public profile berating his ex-wife and denying longstanding allegations that he left her cash-strapped to enjoy a bachelor lifestyle. He wrote: 'So after eight years now of being separated... I've reached the end of my limit of abuse and bullying by Myleene Klass. 'For eight years you have spoken out quote after quote in all your interviews, making money from it and promoting your products and career etc. He added that the breakdown of the couple's relationship 'should have never been in the public eye'. Graham added he was perplexed as to why she continued to berate him despite the fact she was in a new, happy, relationship with Simon Motson. He wrote: '[It] must be very sad for your new partner — that the focus is still on the past? 'Everyone that knows me, knows that I'm an extremely private and loyal person. 'So please spare me the poor little victim stories.... to paint me as this horrible person - As for money or cars or houses, I've never taken a penny of your money or anything for that matter. I gave you the easiest divorce.' Addressing his drug offences, Graham added he was 'extremely proud' to have turned his life around and had 'worked hard to put it right', mentioning he had worked with a drugs charity to raise awareness about the dangers of using them. He also noted that he loved his children 'unconditionally' and advised her to 'put them first'. 'You might have stopped me seeing them all this time but the years are going fast and they will be old enough soon to come and find me and see just how much I adore them and always have,' he wrote. 'I still won't allow myself to ever stoop that low to ever say anything bad about you as I'm not that type of person and my focus will never change, it's always been about Ava and Hero who I absolutely adore and love unconditionally. 'You can't ever break that. So please put them first, stop your childish games and wasting your time being nasty and vindictive all these years later and enjoy being a new mum and focus on your new partner, not an ex of over eight years.' After his divorce from Myleene in April 2013, Graham moved on with dancer Sarah Robinson. The pair were linked shortly after Graham's marriage ended but Sarah insisted they were just friends at the time. They celebrated their engagement at a festive party over Christmas 2015 after Graham popped the question while they were on holiday in Ibiza. Their engagement party was attended by a number of Graham's celebrity pals including his Boyzone star brother-in-law Keith. Graham previously worked as a tour manager for JLS while Sarah's dancing career often required travel, meaning the couple were frequently apart. He posted on Instagram in May 2017 about his heartache of having to be apart, writing: 'Gonna miss my girl. Been spoilt having 10 days together on holiday... now off on tour again for 3 months, never easy saying goodbye'. However this relationship appeared to have soured a few months later as by October 2017, Sarah had wiped all trace of Graham from her Instagram account. Earlier this week, Myleene reflected on her relationship with Graham as she recalled walking in on him and a female celebrity taking each other's clothes off on the balcony of her own home. Refusing to name the woman, the Loose Women panelist hinted that the person in question has built a career off a 'family brand' and clarified that it was before they had got married. Speaking on Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, the mother-of-two said: 'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony.' According to the TV presenter, the pair tried to claim that it wasn't what it looked like and she continued: 'I'm in my house, it's my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other. 'It's not what you think'. But I'm like, 'It is what I think'. 'It's the first thing they both said. I kicked everyone out of the party, including his mum and dad. They went back to Ireland and his dad said: 'He doesn't get it from me'. 'I remember thinking that was quite a weird thing to say,' she told the love expert. Graham tried to blame the affair on being drunk. Myleene admitted the whole ordeal was a 'pretty big red flag' but still went through with their wedding in October 2011. Turning her thoughts towards the other woman, Myleene said: 'I've made peace with that situation now, but for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life. 'My life literally just broke apart very, very publicly and their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it. I have to take some accountability 'Look, you know, first and foremost to my children. My children have asked enough questions and it's never been a case of laying out my stall now. 'It's got to be as and when. But here's the funny thing - school mums, people who just want to gossip, will go to your children before anybody else.' Myleene previously recalled the twisted request the woman Graham cheated on her with asked her. Myleene said on Loose Women: '100 percent, I've been on the receiving of someone who cheated on me. I was extremely disturbed as was my family as was the ripple effect of people who have to live with those actions. 'Put it this way, one of the people that he cheated on me with asked to have a photo with me and I refused. 'One of the people that he had an affair with or a relationship with just said 'Can I have a photo with you?' 'I said 'No. I do not agree with what you stand for'. If I then put myself, If I align myself or have allegiance to you as a person, that photo is out there forever. 'I don't agree with women or men having their lives turned upside down with lies and deceit because you didn't think it was that big of a crime. 'You're messing with peoples emotions and their lives. They have permanent repercussions.' Myleene went on to meet current partner Simon in 2015, with the couple welcoming their son Apollo four years later.
