Liverpool near mega Alexander Isak agreement
In another world the Swede would already be playing for the Reds. If it would not have been for Newcastle's incompetence in the transfer market this summer, Isak would be lining up for Liverpool.

But of course, the Reds have also had the chance to sign him in the past. Notably in 2022 the recruitment team pushed to bring him in over Darwin Nunez, but in the end the Uruguayan was chosen.
Before that, Liverpool had followed Isak's career closely at AIK and wanted to sign him but he chose Borussia Dortmund.
So this pursuit continues. Though at last it seems like it's finally coming to an end. Liverpool are getting closer and closer to getting their man.
A report from Spain backs this up.

According to AS reporter Eduardo Burgos on X, Newcastle are anticipating a mega second bid worth £130m from Liverpool.
In his report he claims that an 'agreement will be reached for €150 million (£130 million)' which is exactly the bid that they are expecting from the Reds.
In the report, it's also added that Liverpool are confident that the deal will go through.
So based on that, it seems like Isak is closing in on a move to Liverpool and the agreement between the two parties is not very far away now.
And what a deal this would be. £130m is an incredible amount to pay for one player. It's going to be the British transfer record, surpassing Enzo Fernandez's and Moises Caicedo's transfer to Chelsea.

2 top AI-related stocks for investors to consider buying!
Companies linked to artificial intelligence (AI) have become highly coveted stocks to buy. We're mainly talking about US tech shares like Nvidia, whose semiconductors power advanced AI models, and businesses like Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet that are integrating AI into their existing operations. Many investors worry that these AI shares now command sky-high valuations. They fear this leaves them at risk of price corrections if the stocks' momentum slows. But investors don't need to buy these pricey US stocks to target large returns from the AI boom. Here are two UK shares to consider for the new tech revolution. Riding the data centre boom Sophisticated AI models require thousands of chips working in tandem, meaning small server rooms just don't cut it anymore. This is driving demand for industrial-sized data centres with sophisticated cooling systems and robust power infrastructure. This provides an enormous opportunity for warehouse operators like Tritax Big Box (LSE:BBOX). Accordingly, the FTSE 250 real estate investment trust (or REIT) — which chiefly rents it large-scale spaces out to delivery companies, retailers, and fast-moving consumer goods (FCMG) companies — is pushing aggressively into data centres. The company acquired its first data hub site in January, which it predicts will be 'one of the largest data centres in the UK'. And it followed this with a second shortly afterwards. The sites — which have a combined potential capacity of 272 MW — are in well-connected locations in London and have scope for long-term expansion. With a pipeline of another 1 GW, Tritax is positioning itself as a major player in the digital infrastructure boom. The UK currently has 477 data centres in operation. And construction firm Barbor ABI believes almost another 100 new sites will be needed between now and 2030 to meet demand. This provides a wonderful growth opportunity for the likes of Tritax. Be mindful, though, that data centre development carries risks. Like its logistics and storage hubs, returns are at the mercy of rising build costs and interest rates. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be, neither does it constitute, any form of tax advice. Another top AI-related stock Cable maker Volex (LSE:VLX) is another great data centre play to consider. The high-speed cables it manufactures are essential tools in ensuring a reliable and fast-moving data connection. More specifically, the company is a pioneer in the direct attach cables (DACs) segment. These are especially critical for AI applications, as they facilitate high bandwidth with minimal latency. And they are helping to drive business with both new and existing customers. Volex sells its cables across the world, leaving it exposed to trade tariff-related pressures. But these troubles haven't yet derailed its ability to deliver strong revenues growth — organic sales leapt 10.4% at constant currencies between April and June. The business said its latest sales numbers reflect 'continued momentum in the Electric Vehicles and Complex Industrial Technology end-markets, notably among Data Centre customers'. As well as data centres, Volex has exposure to multiple other growth areas like electric cars, renewable energy, healthcare, and automation. This provides added profit-making opportunities, while simultaneously broadening its sales base and reducing reliance on any single market to drive earnings. I think it's a great all-rounder to consider for the booming digital economy. The post 2 top AI-related stocks for investors to consider buying! appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Welsh rugby's CEO diagnosed with cancer and stepping away from role
CARDIFF, Wales (AP) — The top official in Welsh rugby is stepping away to undergo treatment after being diagnosed with cancer. Abi Tierney, chief executive of the Welsh Rugby Union, will leave her role temporarily on Aug. 22 'to focus fully on my health and recovery.' 'I am grateful for the support I have already received from my family, friends, and colleagues,' Tierney said, 'and I am confident in the team's ability to continue our work during my absence.' Tierney has just overseen the appointment of Steve Tandy as coach of the men's national team, which went on a record 18-match losing run before a win in Japan last month. ___ AP rugby: The Associated Press

40 years of The Dropped Stitch
A three-generation family yarn shop is in Victoria Road, Portslade, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The Dropped Stitch was founded by Hilary and Peter Bath in 1985, and is now run with their son Anthony and his wife – and their 11-year-old daughter helps out too, by selling her own tie-dye creations. "It's huge," Anthony says of the milestone. "When we got to 35 years we didn't know if we would reach 40, because Covid hit us hard at first." But after Wendy and Robin went into administration during the first lockdown, panic-buying of their yarns boosted the shop and gave it a new impetus. As well as selling knitting yarns and haberdashery, The Dropped Stitch has stained-glass art by Hilary, hair accessories handmade by Sue and clothes and accessories tie-dyed by their 11-year-old daughter, who has been an important part of the family business since she was just nine. It also runs a logo embroidery service. The family will be marking the event throughout September with celebrations including a raffle, yarn sales, giveaways and more. It will also join a nationwide celebration of independent yarn shops, UK Hand Knitting's Yarnstravaganza, from September 27 to October 4.
