New Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is overseeing a significant summer rebuild, with defensive stalwarts James Tarkowski and Ben Mee departing upon the expiry of their contracts. Kompany added: “Luke is a young player, he’s good on the ball, wins his challenges, and knows how to defend. We are delighted he is now a part of our squad.”

“We are pleased to welcome him to our club, he has shown all the qualities we were looking for in a central defender, and we are looking forward to working with Luke.” The club had been exploring other centre-back options, such as Arsenal defender Dan Ballard, whose proposed move to Turf Moor

Mum wet herself when River Island staff refused access to toilet despite illnessA mum who has a rare condition which makes her incontinent was forced to wet herself in the middle of River Island after staff didn’t let her use the toilet. Very sad situation, however Bianca knew of her condition and the store staff didn’t. Maybe Bianca could of been more prepared…..maybe the journalist could reflect on retail workers being front and centre during the pandemic, whilst they were maybe tapping their keyboard at home That’s why it’s called River Island. Piss poor service. Don’t have a short memory and demonise retail staff for lazy journalism.
