“I’m just [focused] on distance. Miss left, miss right, never mind. Just distance – is it perfect.”

Bournemouth have agreed a £25m fee to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.
The 25-year-old will have a medical with the club next week and is expected to sign a five-year deal.
Petrovic was keen to leave Stamford Bridge to become a regular starter and refused to play in the Club World Cup.
He becomes Bournemouth’s second summer signing, following the £14m addition of French left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes.
The Serbia international replaces Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season with Bournemouth on loan from Chelsea, but joined Arsenal permanently at the start of July when his £5m release clause was triggered.
The French club are also owned by the same Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital ownership as Chelsea, who bought Petrovic for £14m from New England Revolution in 2023.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca deemed him not good enough with his feet, but Petrovic made substantial improvement in that area during his spell in Ligue 1.
He has pushed to leave the Blues this summer, opting against a call-up to their Club World Cup squad.

Former X Factor sensation Rylan Clark has candidly shared the personal struggles he experienced following his divorce, confessing that he “felt like a failure.”
The talented presenter shot to fame after defying expectations and reaching the quarter-finals of The X Factor in 2012, continuing his rise to stardom with an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.
His most recent TV hit, Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, proved to be a smash, scooping up the 2025 British Academy Television Award for Best Factual Entertainment—to Rylan’s tearful delight—earlier this year, following its successful launch in 2024.
Rylan has become a familiar face on ITV’s This Morning and is also the voice behind the popular BBC Radio 2 show Rylan on Saturday.
It was during a heartfelt episode of his How to Be in Love podcast that Rylan engaged in an honest exchange with Tasha Ghouri about her recent split from Andrew Le Page.

Amid their emotional discussion, Rylan reflected on his own difficult period following his 2021 divorce from Dan Neal, revealing how public attention exacerbated his pain:
“When I went through my divorce, I had a full-on breakdown because it wasn’t just us. It felt like it wasn’t just us, even though it was just me and my ex. I felt that everyone’s going to think this of me.”
He confided: “Everyone’s going to think, ‘Oh look, his life isn’t perfect. Oh look, he’s failed like that.’ I just felt like a failure.”
Despite his feelings regarding the divorce, he maintained that separating was the “right thing to happen.”
The couple’s unexpected love story began in 2013 when Rylan met Dan during his stint on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, while Dan featured on the main show.
