england international rachel daly has joined aston villa from houston dash. she was integral to their euro 2022 success at full—back but the 30—year—old is expected to play further forward for villa in the wsl. manager carla ward said �*she's simply a player you need in your team. but for us, she is a forward and we can't wait to see her scoring goals. chelsea forward timo werner has completed a return to germany tojoin his old side rb leipzig. it ends a two year spell at stamford bridge — where he scored 23 goals in 89 games and won the champions league. he's the second striker to leave this summerjoin theirformer side, after romelu lukaku returned on loan to inter milan. marko arnatovic won't be joining manchester united. their search for a striker continues after they ended their interest in the former west ham and stoke forward. it's understood they pulled out of a move for the 33—year—old — due to bologna's transfer fee demands and negative fan reaction. everton have announced their second signing in the last 2a hours with belgium midfielder amadou onana joining from lille for 33 million pounds.

hello. well, the heat wave is upon us, but it'll take a few days before we get those really high temperatures. the high pressure's with us, it's been here for such a long time now. hardly any rainfall, obviously, for many parts of the country — and it'll stay—bone dry at least for the rest of this week, and possibly into the weekend. here's the morning weather — so sunshine and temperatures of around 15 celsius. that's at their lowest there in london, similar values in western scotland. and what can i say? sunshine right from the word go tomorrow, just a bit of cloud in the northwest there in stornoway, 18 celsius, no heatwave — whereas we've got the high—20s in northern england, 30 in the peak district, easily into the 30s across southern england and parts of wales. and then on thursday, we start to see that hotter stream of air out of the near continent spreading across england into wales and southwestern england, and also ireland, where it'll be

very hot, too. so this is when the extreme heat warning comes into force — it's valid from thursday into sunday, and that'll be a sort of extended peak of heat, if you like. so notjust the one hot day, but a few hot days in a row, possibly into the mid—30s quite widely. and you can see on thursday — wylie, 3a—35 celsius across southern and central england, possibly parts of wales, too. 28 for newcastle, around 30 or so likely in yorkshire. by friday, 31 in liverpool — and you can see 35 there in london, but much fresher in northern parts of scotland. how hot? well, nnot the dizzy heights of a0 celsius we saw last time. i suspect around 36 or so, give or take a degree, by the time we get to friday and possibly into saturday, as well. and there's that extended period of heat lasting a few days. by the time we get to sunday, just hint of maybe a couple of degrees lower. and then, when we get into monday, that's when we start to see fresher air arriving. so, yes, there will be an end

to the heatwave, obviously, and a breakdown on the way — and more importantly, we are forecasting some rainfall. so the thinking is that, come sunday, we'll see thunderstorms across france, some of them may drift into southern parts of the uk sunday night into monday. but i think by the time we get to monday, we've got that fresher atlantic air and scattered, only scattered showers. bye— bye.
