Another day, another - kinda - update on the Lawrence Shankland we all know by now, Derek McInnes' squad have headed out to Spain for a warm-weather training camp and the Scotland striker is not with according to Hearts Standard editor Joel Sked, the offer of a contract from the Tynecastle club is still there and his future remains "in the balance"."It seems like it's business as usual, the contract is on the table for Lawrence Shankland - a contract which would still make him the highest paid player at the club," Sked told BBC Sportsound."I have no problem with him holding out to see if there are options."I think it's still in the balance, but at the very end stage where, one way or another, something has to be done."Hearts kick off their season on 12 July against Dunfermline in the League Cup group stage, so it's safe to say time is ticking."Hearts will need someone to replace him if he doesn't stay," Sked added. "I get why they're trying to wait as long as possible because I think trying to replace Shankland will be very, very difficult."I don't think it will be much more of a saga, I think we're coming to the end of it, which is needed for all parties."

Chelsea response to storm setback ‘shows how far we've come'
Captain Reece James felt Chelsea showed great character to overcome an extraordinary storm delay to see off Benfica and reach the Club World Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea were forced back into their dressing room for almost two hours after a thunderstorm interrupted their last-16 tie against the Portuguese giants in Charlotte with just four minutes remaining. The Blues had been leading 1-0 at the time courtesy of a superb James free-kick, but Benfica hit back to equalise with a controversial Angel Di Maria penalty after play finally resumed. That took the clash to extra time, but the sending-off of Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni proved critical and Chelsea ran out 4-1 winners with goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Chelsea can now look forward to a last-eight encounter with Palmeiras in Philadelphia on Friday, but it was the storm delay that was the main talking point at the Bank of America Stadium. It was the latest of a series of games in the tournament to have been paused because of extreme weather – a situation described as a 'joke' by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who also questioned whether the United States was a suitable host. James told the club's website: 'It was a very difficult game with a lot of interruptions. The climate wasn't the best, the pitch wasn't the best. It was very slow and hard to play. 'You get to 85 minutes and then the game has to be stopped for a long period of time. It takes a lot out of the players. They cool down and then they need to restart that engine again. 'It's tough, but we're happy we got the job done. To be so close to the end and then have a kick in the teeth, but pick yourself up and dust yourself down and go on again to score three goals – I think it probably shows how far we've come.' Until the weather changed the atmosphere, James' 64th-minute strike had looked like being the winner. Benfica had been expecting the defender to cross from wide on the left, but James instead whipped a curling right-footed shot over the wall and in at the near post. He said: 'When I was walking over I spoke to the centre-halves and said, 'What do you want?' 'They just said a shot-cross inswinger. I said, 'No problem'. Then I got to the ball and I saw the keeper's position. He showed me too much of the goal so I just decided to shoot.' With a six-day gap before their next fixture, Maresca has said he will now give the players a couple of days off before beginning preparations to face Palmeiras.

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Why Premier League clubs are ready to spend big on transfers THIS WEEK - with Man United set for positive conclusion in race for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo
The transfer window is set to hot up this week - following the arrival of the new reporting year under the Premier League 's financial rules. Mail Sport understands that a number of clubs have deals on hold until they can register the spend on 2025-26's accounts rather than 2024-25. This year's window has, so far, been slow-paced with relatively few high-profile moves aside from Liverpool 's £116m swoop for Florian Wirtz and Manchester United 's £62.5m capture of Wolves ' Matheus Cunha. Manchester City have been the most active, with Pep Guardiola undertaking a flurry of activity ahead of the Club World Cup as he seeks to rebuild his squad. However, that situation is now likely to change, with sides already at the limit on this year's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) hanging fire until Tuesday. Many do not want to fall foul of the regulations, which can result in the ultimate sanction of points deductions. Meanwhile, sources have disclosed that United's pursuit of Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo is set to lead to a positive conclusion. United have lodged two failed bids for the Cameroonian forward, the last of which was £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons. It is understood that the Bees believe 25-year-old Mbeumo is worth more than Cunha, a theory they believe is backed up by statistics from his time in west London. Mbeumo scored 20 goals to Cunha's 15 last season, and seven assists to the Brazilian's six. United feel they have offered a fair price, but the player has told his club he wants to move to Manchester and a breakthrough is the expected outcome, according to those with knowledge of the situation.
