Chelsea are insistent on receiving at least £55m for Mason Mount this summer, with Manchester United yet to match the club’s valuation for the England international despite leading the race for his signature. The 24-year-old is willing to go to United amid interest from Liverpool and Arsenal and agreement on a price is now the only obstacle to his move to Old Trafford. Mount only has a year left on his contract and has refused to sign a new deal amid uncertainty at Chelsea. The midfielder believes United’s system under Erik ten Hag offers the best fit, with the Dutchman understood to have the clearest idea for him. United do not want to go as high as £55m because their own summer budget is open to change with the takeover, but it is felt a deal will eventually be done despite the clubs currently being some way off agreement. United thrashed Chelsea on Thursday night to secure Champions League qualification which drastically improved what they can offer Mount next season. Ahead of the meeting at Old Trafford, United boss Ten Hag rather pointedly noted that spending big sums without having a cohesive plan in place to utilise those signings effectively was a total waste - as Chelsea have found out this season. “When there is no strategy behind, or (not) the right strategy, money doesn’t work,” he said. “In this moment there is a centralisation of good players, of the best managers, also of the money, it is all here in the UK. And that makes a great competition, but also a tough and a hard competition. “And you have to do the right things and you can have money but you have to do it and spend it in a smart way and also you need a strategy behind it, because, otherwise, the money doesn’t work.” Read More £600m spent but still outscored by Haaland – Chelsea’s masterpiece of stupidity Manchester United owe Champions League return to one man Man Utd to learn extent of Antony injury which will see him miss FA Cup final

Wildfires on the Greek island of Rhodes have forced thousands of tourists to flee their hotels and be evacuated off the beach by a fleet of private boats. The fires had been burning for days as Rhodes, like many parts of southern Europe, sweltered under a prolonged heatwave. But while previously they threatened only the mostly uninhabited central parts of the island, on Saturday strong winds pushed the fires towards the coast, forcing at least three resorts and hotels to be evacuated. The beach rescue involved around 30 private vessels as well as the coastguard and saw more than 2,000 tourists evacuated, an official said. The operation was expected to continue on Sunday. British tourists have described being caught up in the “terrifying” ordeal, with the Foreign Office directing UK nationals towards a crisis management unit set up by the Greek authorities. It comes as the heatwave conditions, caused by a high pressure system over southern Europe, eased in France and Spain but were forecast to continue in Italy and the Balkans.

A 15-year-old boy has been killed in a shooting in Stockholm, it was reported. On Saturday, a teenager was killed and three other people were injured in a shooting near a square in southern Stockholm. The details of the motive behind the shooting are being investigated. “The person who died at the scene is a boy aged 15,” Towe Hagg, spokeswoman for Stockholm police, told AFP in a statement. He added that two men had been arrested following a car chase south of Stockholm just under an hour after the shooting. This isn’t the only incident that took place in Stockholm this week. On Friday, three people were injured in two separate shootings in the wider Stockholm area. According to a 2018 report published by academic researchers, the risks among males in Sweden increased considerably in both lethal and non-lethal gun victimisation and perpetration. “Among males aged 15 to 29 there was a five-fold increase in risk for victimisation in lethal and non-lethal gun violence during the 20-year observation period,” the report states. “In a comparative perspective, the rate of gun homicide victimisation among males 15 to 29 years was higher in Sweden compared to other Western European countries, while the risk for males over age 30 was at an average level.” The researchers concluded their study by finding out that gun violence “among young males in Sweden has been on the rise and is at a high level compared to other Western European countries”.
