Snap up the summer pizza oven from Ninja £299.99 £249.99 Ninja GET DEAL Product Description The Ninja Artisan Pizza Oven is currently on sale on Ninja - and it might be the summer purchase shoppers need. Shoppers have been praising the Ninja pizza oven as a "game-changer". One shopper said: "I absolutely love this pizza oven, it's a game changer, I will never be ordering takeout again, pizza in less than three minutes and tastes amazing. Easy to use and clean." Another shopper added: "Amazing product, we previously had a brick-built pizza oven and moved address, so wanted to give the Ninja Outdoor Pizza oven a try. We were not disappointed, we made homemade dough which was fine. I ordered some sourdough from a company, also pre-packed from a supermarket, and all worked well. "The sourdough pizza took just three minutes on the highest setting to cook, and the shop-bought took 4.5 minutes at 290 degrees. We also used the proving and bake options too. We have the air fryer so have not used the oven for that. Would highly recommend this product" The Ninja Artisan Pizza Oven can cook three pizzas in just 10 minutes (Image: Ninja ) However, shoppers should be warned about the size and cleaning the Ninja oven as some buyers claim it was difficult. One buyer said: "Cleaning the pizza stone isn't the easiest but that is the nature of not being able to use water to clean the stone and we have instead bought a brush online to clean the charred parts off." Article continues below They added: "The Ninja Artisan is not a small device, so the fact that it is weather-friendly and can be kept in the shed with the cover (bought separately) is fantastic. It means it doesn't take up kitchen cupboard space and, unlike other BBQs, doesn't just go rusty after a bit of time outside". Another happy consumer said: "The pizza oven is amazing! So easy to use and it cooks pizzas perfectly. It cooked 9' sourdough pizzas in 40 seconds and 9' normal dough bases in 2 minutes. We had a party and it was fun to use."

Chelsea reach agreement with Dortmund star and seek to seal £50m transfer
Chelsea are keen to add to their squad ahead of this summer's Club World Cup and look set to make Borussia Dortmund star and former Man City man Jamie Gittens their latest addition Chelsea look set to make Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens their FIFTH signing of the summer as Enzo Maresca bolsters his squad ahead of the Club World Cup. The Blues have already been extremely busy since the end of last season. Brazilian winger Estevao Willian is set to make his move from Palmeiras official alongside Ecuadorian youngster Kendry Paez. Chelsea have also signed Liam Delap and Dário Essugo from Ipswich and Sporting Lisbon respectively over the past week. And those signings could potentially be joined by English wideman Gittens. As first reported by French outlet RMC Sport, the West London side have agreed on a seven-year deal with the 20-year-old to move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have tabled a £29.5m bid - although it's believed they'll need to go higher - and hope to get a deal secured before the first part of the summer transfer window closes on Tuesday. Gittens, an England under-21 international, was actually at Chelsea as a youngster as well as a host of other clubs. He eventually found his way to Manchester City but quit the club in 2020 as he became the latest in a long line of promising English talents to move to the Bundesliga. He has since gone on to make over 100 appearances for Dortmund, scoring 17 goals - 12 of which came last season. Despite still having three years left to run on his deal, it appears he will now depart Dortmund if the two clubs can agree a fee. Gittens has a £50m release clause in his contract, but Chelsea are hoping to get it done for slightly less. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl admitted earlier this year that there was potentially interest in Gittens. He said: 'There's definitely a market for him. He's a very exciting player. We'll be having discussions soon. If offers come in, we'll have to deal with them.' 'We want to reduce wages,' Kehl added. 'That said, it's possible we'll continue with some of these players. But some may no longer be part of the BVB squad next season.' Gittens will arrive at Stamford Bridge as a possible replacement for Jadon Sancho, who has departed the club after Chelsea chiefs decided not to sign him permanently following his loan. The West Londoners have decided not to activate a £25m clause in the deal, and have consequently paid a £5m penalty. In a statement on social media, the winger said: "Grateful for the experience. Big love to everyone at Chelsea who made me feel at home — teammates, staff and the fans. Wishing the club all the best moving forward. Truly grateful, Thank you Blues." Sancho made 45 appearances across his season with Chelsea, scoring five goals and notching ten assists as Enzo Maresca's side won the Conference League.

Coco Gauff shows true colours after winning massive tennis prize money
Coco Gauff shows true colours after winning massive tennis prize money Coco Gauff faces Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open final on Saturday as she bids to win a second major singles title - but the American is not motivated by money Coco Gauff is a humble character Coco Gauff has her sights set on clinching the second major singles title of her career at the French Open final. The American tennis prodigy secured her place in the final by triumphing over compatriot Madison Keys in the quarter-finals and then defeating French sensation Lois Boisson. She's no stranger to success at Roland-Garros, having won the doubles title last year. After falling short in the 2022 singles final, she'll be hoping to go one better against Aryna Sabalenka this time around. At just 21 years old, Gauff has already spent a significant portion of her life in the limelight, first making global headlines when she beat Venus Williams at Wimbledon aged only 15. She claimed her maiden major at the U.S. Open in 2023 and is currently ranked second in the world. A victory at the French Open would add a hefty $2.9 million (€2.55M) to her already substantial net worth, reports the Mirror US. Net worth Throughout her career, Gauff has amassed an impressive $24.3M in prize money, ranking her 18th on the all-time list of female tennis players. When combined with her numerous endorsement deals, Celebrity Net Worth estimates her total wealth at $35M. Article continues below In 2024, Forbes named Gauff as the highest-earning female athlete. Her portfolio of endorsements includes lucrative contracts with New Balance and Italian food giant Barilla. She has raked in $2.7M in prize money so far this year, a sum that could potentially more than double should she emerge victorious at Roland-Garros. Yet, Gauff's earnings are still a far cry from Serena Williams' staggering career total of $94.8M. Gauff reveals her true colours Despite accumulating wealth that most can only dream of, tennis sensation Gauff demonstrated her down-to-earth nature following her U.S. Open triumph. Contrary to expectations of lavish spending after securing her first major and a $3M prize, Gauff confessed to not being driven by financial gain. "I don't like to spend money," Gauff disclosed on the podcast in 2023. "When I had my first Grand Slam check, I wanted a car but my dad had already bought it and, I don't know what to buy now." Her father Corey surprised her with a black Audi e-tron, yet the young star showed no urgency to splash out. "There's nothing crazy materialistic that I really want," Gauff mentioned during an Instagram live session. "I'm very satisfied with all that I have. I don't want anything crazy." Post-U.S. Open, when queried about her immediate desires, Gauff humorously responded: "A burger. That's all I want." She also expressed a longing for a holiday, having been accustomed to travelling solely for tournaments. Despite her professional achievements, Gauff continued to reside with her parents in Delray Beach, Florida. In November 2024, she revealed the purchase of her own home in the vicinity, after previously gifting her parents a $1M mansion.

Reflecting on her previous defeat at this level three years earlier, she acknowledged feeling much more relaxed about her third appearance in a major singles final. "My first final here, I was super nervous and I kind of wrote myself off before the match even happened," Gauff remarked. "Obviously, here, I have a lot more confidence just from playing the final before and doing well in one. Article continues below "Going into Saturday, I'll give it my best shot and be as calm and relaxed as possible. Whatever happens, happens knowing I put my best foot forward." When questioned about her newfound sense of tranquillity, Gauff provided some insight: "Realizing how minuscule it is. Everybody is dealing with way bigger things in life than losing a final. And also thinking and realizing that however many players would have wanted to be in this position. "I'm sure there's hundreds of players that would kill to win or lose the final, so just knowing that makes me realize how lucky and privileged I am to be in this position. At first, I thought it would be the end of the world if I lost and the sun still rose the next day. So knowing, regardless of the result, that the sun will still rise."
