Cheap, but not at all cheerful.

A 33-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The mayor of London claimed tradespeople can take less sick leave caused by air pollution.

The controversial scheme comes into place this month.

‘Spiralling rents are driving families into poverty and on to the streets.’

Crystal Palace have beaten Chelsea to the signing of Brazil wonderkid Matheus Franca in a deal worth an initial €20million (£17.1m).

A few weeks ago, it was reported that both London clubs were very interested in acquiring Franca who is keen to move to the Premier League.

The attacking midfielder has already scored nine goals in 54 appearances in his short career, winning the Copa Libertadores and Copa do Brasil in 2022 with Flamengo.

Both Chelsea and Palace submitted proposals to Flamengo for the 19-year-old, with the latter winning the race for his signature.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Eagles will pay an initial €20m though there will be another €5m in ‘easy add-ons’.

Such is the teenager’s promise, Palace will have to pay another €5m should Franca win the Ballon d’Or in the future, and Flamengo will also receive 20% on any future sale above the initial €25m valuation.

This is a huge deal for Roy Hodgson’s side who have been linked with the player for many months and are desperate for attacking reinforcements following the departure of Wilfried Zaha to Galatasaray.

Franca has arrived in the UK and is set to have his medical on Monday, and will become the South London side’s second signing of the summer following Jefferson Lerma who joined on a free from Bournemouth.

Chelsea were looking at Franca having recently signed several young stars from Brazil including Andrey Santos and Angelo.
