Sky Sports: Leicester City player not a Chelsea target – Three others named instead
Sky Sports claim that one Leicester City player is not a Chelsea target and instead names three others that are as alternatives. This news comes after Chelsea got a vital three points on Friday night against Manchester United in what was a crucial win for the race for Champions League football next season. One Chelsea legend Gary Cahill was at the match and he has hailed one key player in the game as being one of the best in Europe after his influence on the match. Cahill wasn't the only one praising this player as well, with team mate Pedro Neto joining in and picking up on the character of the Chelsea hero from Friday night. Chelsea will now move on to their final league game of the season next weekend away at Nottingham Forest, and it's another game they have to win the secure Champions League qualification. Sky Sports have thrown shade over a transfer rumour this week linking Chelsea to a Leicester City defender who has been on loan with Oxford United this season. They say that Ben Nelson is not a Chelsea target. Chelsea will sign a centre back this summer, but the 21-year-old is not currently under consideration. According to the same report, Chelsea's centre back shortlist includes players such as Jorrel Hato, Marc Guehi and Jarrad Branthwaite. These are the kind of players Chelsea will be hoping to sign in the summer, but in the meantime, their focus is on the final games of the season – and not transfers, says Sky Sports. [morestories[

U's boss sees Ben Nelson playing in the Premier League next season
GARY Rowett believes Ben Nelson will be playing Premier League football next season if not for the Leicester City first team. The 21-year-old centre back has caught the eye with his assured defending and quality in possession while on loan at Oxford United. Nelson opened the scoring as the U's sealed Sky Bet Championship survival with a 2-0 win at home against Sunderland, directing a towering header past Anthony Patterson in the Black Cats goal. His centre half partner Michal Helik then doubled the lead on a memorable afternoon at the Kassam Stadium. READ ALSO: What have been the key ingredients in U's securing safety? Nelson could well come up against United next season, with his parent club relegated from the Premier League, but Rowett is of the opinion that Nelson might make a top flight move himself. Rowett said: 'I thought Ben and Mich stepped up with the goals, but I would say I thought Ben Nelson in particular was absolutely outstanding. 'He showed the potential which he's got, which is to be a Premier League centre half. 'I'd love to turn round and say we might be able to have a chance of keeping him, but I think the reality is he's going to go to a bigger club. 'He's probably going to end up playing for Leicester's team if he's not playing for a Premier League team next season. He's got a bright future ahead of him.'

Hutchison Beach Elementary earns ‘Legacy School' recognition
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Hutchison Beach Elementary is now one of 21 schools worldwide to reach 'Legacy school' status by the Leader in Me program. They have been working for 12 years to reach legacy status. To become a legacy, the school must exhibit growth in academic performance, leadership development, and positive school culture. Their mission is to continue cultivating community leaders. 'It's about leadership skills that will carry you through life. And it's about making eye contact and shaking hands and showing the community that I might be ten years old or five years old, but I'm a leader and I'm going to lead my own legacy,' Hutchison Beach Elementary School Principal Glenda Nouskhajian said. The program also teaches students life skills, like time management. Safely dispose of expired medication on National Drug Take Back Day 'I put first things first and do my homework before I go play. Now we actually take those outside of our home, and like we can synergize maybe and work together on something,' Hutchison Beach Elementary 5th grade student Ben Nelson said. As part of the program, students participate in four service projects throughout the school year. They also host a leadership day, guiding visitors on a tour around the school. The Leader in Me program model focuses on the eight habits of a leader. 'Being a leader means to me, just following the eight habits, being respectful, and definitely having confidence. Also, doing things without someone watching. So integrity is a big role that you need to have,' Hutchison Beach Elementary 5th grade student Penelope Prekop said. The goal is to have students apply those skills after Elementary School. 'These are great skills that are going to make these two and all of our Leader in Me students absolute successes. We're building the future one student at a time, and it starts right here with the Leader in Me,' Bay District Schools Superintendent Mark McQueen said. Several other Bay District schools are also following the Leader in Me program. Leader in Me officials will visit Hutchison Beach Elementary in August. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
