Arsenal vs AC Milan in Singapore: Arsenal's manager 'would love to have a full stadium'; Toa Payoh flat fire: Male victim known to be a 'hoarder', say residents: Singapore live news
Premier League runners-up Arsenal beat Italian giants AC Milan in a pre-season friendly at the National Stadium in Singapore. However, there is still room for improvement and it's got nothing to do with the club's performance. At a post-match press conference on Wednesday (23 July), Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta commented on the noticeable empty seats in the venue. Read more in our live blog below, including the latest local and international news and updates. Toa Payoh flat fire: Male victim known to be a 'hoarder' A fatal fire on 22 July in a flat located at Toa Payoh Lorong 1 claimed the lives of two, and a day after, residents told The Straits Times (ST) that they believed one of the victims was a "hoarder". The blaze engulfed a three-room flat in Block 173, forcing over 100 residents to evacuate the building around 7.30 pm. A 56-year-old man and a 61-year-old woman were found lying motionless in a unit, according to the police. They were pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic. A resident, identified as Mr Wong, claimed to be familiar with the dead man. The 45-year-old told ST on the morning of 23 July, "He collects a lot of things and places them along the corridor." "You can look at what's left from the fire... dolls, chairs, carpets, tables, shoes. They are a fire hazard," he added. According to him, the dead man had supposedly been told by some 'government people' to clear the unwanted belongings. Two other residents told ST that the man kept discarded items from others. When asked for comment, the authorities said the dead man was not known to have an official record of hoarding problems. For more on the Toa Payoh fire, read here.

Arsenal won 1-0 over AC Milan, with England star Bukayo Saka scoring the decisive goal in the second half. When asked about Sako's performance, Arteta said, "We're all very happy with the performance, especially with the attitude, the quality, the determination that we showed throughout the game. "Obviously to win as well, and yeah, regarding individuals, [Sako] was at a really good level, Bukayo is one of them. We have pushed him through the summer as well, to catch up on other things that he had to, to give himself the best chance to explore his qualities, which are better and more highlighted, and with more impact than physically, at the highest level."

Newcastle braced for new Liverpool approach for key man
Liverpool could revisit their interest in Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, if Luis Diaz leaves the club this summer. Diaz has been subject of an approach from Bayern Munich and is keen on the move to the Bundesliga champions. The German side are preparing an improved bid for the Colombian. Should an exit materialise, Liverpool have been backed to reignite their interest in Gordon. The Reds explored a deal to sign the Liverpudlian last summer as Newcastle needed sales for their Premier League Profit and Sustainability compliance. Gordon is a player that Liverpool admire and journalist Ben Jacobs has said it is one to watch. A potential move for the England international comes just days after Liverpool saw an approach for Newcastle's Alexander Isak turned down. Speaking to Liverpool streamer Grizz Khan on YouTube, Jacobs said: 'There will be a chance, if the left side is being strengthened, that Liverpool revisit Anthony Gordon. That is another one to keep an eye on. 'Rodrygo, it is not that I'm not getting acknowledgement of appreciation from Liverpool, because I am, it's just the idea that they're in Madrid or negotiating or ready to bid, for now feels a bit premature. With Anthony Gordon it is more than that. '12 months ago they had a deal in place to be done. Had Newcastle not sold Elliott Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton, they would have been in a PSR bind, and Gordon would have definitely got over the line because it was verbally lined up for I think about £75m. 'Suddenly Newcastle were able to pivot because they were reluctant sellers and they found the money another way. 'Given that was only 12 months ago, don't just think about Rodrygo, if Diaz leaves, there may well be a possibility that a revisited approach for Anthony Gordon is made.'
