We asked for your views on German forward Lukas Nmecha signing for are some of your comments:Ben: It seems like savvy business. A forward who knows the English game, who has international and club experience with top sides and managers - for He's had a stop-start career but some potential obviously. Whether he'll finally realise his potential at Leeds remains unclear to me. Maybe initially a squad player who can hopefully take his opportunities when they come. Great there is no transfer fee Three goals in 52 Championship appearances for Preston and Middlesbrough are stats I'd expect from a centre-half not a centre-forward. Joel Piroe will be sleeping easily Let's hope he's as good as Tony Yeboah when he came from Germany. If Patrick Bamford is fit and plays, he will feed off Patrick, who holds the ball well. He should score a Very useful signing for no transfer cost. We need to add more strength and depth all over the park and this is a good start. Hopefully there will be lots more activity for cover and new leaders in almost every position over the next couple of Not exactly an exciting signing but as a free transfer it might represent a good bit of business if he gets four or five goals and does a job up front. How many strikers with top-flight experience are free these days?

At least 34 Palestinians killed in shootings near food distribution centres
The toll was the deadliest yet in the near-daily shootings that have taken place as thousands of Palestinians move through Israeli military-controlled areas to reach the food centres run by the private contractor, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Two witnesses said Israeli troops opened fire early on Monday in an attempt to control the crowds. There was no immediate comment by the Israeli military. It has said in previous instances that troops fired warning shots at what it calls suspects approaching their positions. Gaza's health ministry said 33 Palestinians were killed trying to reach the GHF centre near the southern city of Rafah and another en route to a GHF hub in central Gaza. It said four other people were killed elsewhere. Two Palestinians trying to get food at the Rafah site, Heba Jouda and Mohammed Abed, told the Associated Press that Israeli forces fired on the crowds at about 4am at the flag roundabout. The roundabout, hundreds of metres from the GHF centre, has repeatedly been the scene of shootings. The military has designated specific routes to access the food centres, and GHF has warned aid-seekers that leaving the roads is dangerous, but many do in an attempt to get to the food first. Israel and the United States say the new GHF system is needed to prevent Hamas from siphoning off aid. GHF says there has been no violence in or around the sites themselves. UN agencies and major aid groups, which have delivered humanitarian aid across Gaza since the start of the 20-month Israel-Hamas war, have rejected the new system, saying it cannot meet the territory's needs and allows Israel to use aid as a weapon. They deny there is widespread theft of aid by Hamas. Palestinian health officials say scores of people have been killed and hundreds wounded since the sites opened last month. Experts have warned that Israel's ongoing military campaign and restrictions on the entry of aid have put Gaza, which is home to some 2.0 million Palestinians, at risk of famine.
