Erling Haaland shares emotional Jack Grealish message before Everton transfer
Erling Haaland shared a heartfelt parting message ahead of Jack Grealish's move to Everton. The striker, who has become close friends with his Manchester City teammate, posted a series of pictures of the pair together on social media along with a light blue heart and an emoji depicting two hands making a heart shape. Grealish was tagged in the message, which comes with the 29-year-old on the verge of being announced as an Everton player. READ MORE: Jack Grealish is too good to be wasted on the bench - Everton will help him find his best READ MORE: Everton new future is here after stunning first glimpse of full Hill Dickinson Stadium Haaland was the first City player to acknowledge Grealish's impending departure after talks accelerated over a season-long loan deal this week. They enjoyed immense success together, including winning the treble in 2022/23. Despite playing a key role in that campaign, Grealish has since fallen out of favour at the Etihad and was open to a move this summer in the hope of reviving his career in a World Cup year. That has led him to Everton, where he is expected to be announced as the sixth signing of the summer to date - following the permanent additions of Carlos Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, Adam Aznou and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Elvis Presley Charts A Brand New Top 10 Album
It takes a special kind of artist to continue scoring new chart wins years and even decades after their passing. Very few manage it, especially without a vault full of unreleased albums ready to go. Elvis Presley is one such star, as he regularly returns to rankings all over the world whenever his estate issues reworkings, remixes, previously unheard demos, live recordings, and compilations. The rock and roll legend is back in the United Kingdom with a new victory, as his latest box set opens inside the top 10 on multiple tallies. Elvis Presley's New Top 10 Album Presley's newly-released Sunset Boulevard box set launches on five rankings in the U.K., and it becomes a top 10 bestseller on two of them. The superstar posthumously starts his new release at No. 5 on both the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums charts this frame. Elvis Presley's Ninth Top 10 The set gives Presley his ninth top 10 win and thirty-seventh total placement on the Official Album Sales chart, which ranks the bestselling projects in the U.K. regardless of genre or format. He has fared even better on the list that tracks only physical products such as CDs, cassettes, and vinyl. Sunset Boulevard earns him an eighteenth top 10 on that tally — twice as many as on the sales-based ranking — and marks his sixty-eighth overall appearance. Nearly a Vinyl Top 10 Sunset Boulevard nearly cracks the top 10 on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, but it misses out on reaching the tier by just one space. As it opens at No. 11, the project becomes Presley's milestone twentieth entry on the format-specific roster. Elvis Presley on the Downloads and Albums Lists The collectible box set also appears on both the Official Album Downloads chart and the main Official Albums ranking, coming in at Nos. 25 and 67, respectively. Sunset Boulevard becomes Presley's sixteenth hit on the downloads tally, and he pushes his career total to 139 placements on the 100-spot list of the most consumed albums in the nation. Rare Recordings From RCA's Los Angeles Studios Comprised of five CDs (or two LPs on a 'highlights' edition), Sunset Boulevard chronicles Presley's recording sessions and rehearsals at RCA's studios in Los Angeles. The collection features 89 rare tracks, some which may be familiar to fans in some takes, while others are brand new to the public.
