Crystal Palace line up £22million Inter star Yann Bisseck as Marc Guehi replacement with defender keen to leave San Siro

CRYSTAL PALACE have been handed a boost in their pursuit of German defender Yann Bisseck, who is keen to leave Inter Milan in search of more game time.

SunSport understands the defender is determined to move in January in a bid to rescue his World Cup dream.

Palace saw a bid in the region of £30million turned down last summer as they looked to land a replacement for Marc Guehi.

Despite their efforts, the Italian club stood their ground, viewing Bisseck as a long-term asset.

The Germany international was initially reluctant to leave but the departure of coach Simone Inzaghi and the arrival of Christian Chivu has changed his circumstances.

Last season, Inzaghi’s rotation policy meant Bisseck played 46 games for the Italian giants.

However, under Chivu, he has managed just two appearances and has been left out of the last two German national team call-ups.

SunSport understands that German manager Julian Nagelsmann has made it clear only players who are regularly playing will be considered for selection.

This has left Bisseck open to a move to Palace, who have been long-term admirers of his profile as a potential replacement for Guehi.

AS Monaco are also admirers of Bisseck with the French club monitoring his situation.

SunSport was first to report Guehi’s decision to accept the club’s refusal to sell him this summer, but he has also made it clear he will seek a new challenge once his contract expires.

This means Palace have the space and funds to bring in the 24-year-old Bisseck.

They are also likely to secure him for less than the £30million they offered in the summer with a fee of £22million likely to be deemed acceptable.

Palace are desperate to keep manager Oliver Glasner, whose contract comes to an end this summer. It is believed that a strong summer showing of ambition could persuade him to sign a new deal.

The club has already demonstrated incredible commitment to Glasner by pulling out of a deal worth around £35million to sell Liverpool Guehi when it became clear they would not find a replacement in the summer.

I snorted cocaine off my Olympic gold medal, says Sir Bradley Wiggins as he admits he doesn’t know how he’s not dead

SIR BRADLEY WIGGINS has admitted he does not know how he is still alive after his drug addiction led him to snort cocaine off his Olympic gold medal.

The legendary cyclist revealed he was “high most of the time for many years” following his retirement.

Wiggins became the first Briton to win the Tour de France in 2012 and he followed it up with a gold medal in the London Olympics.

But six years later he was in the throes of a cocaine addiction which cost him his marriage and almost his life.

He told The Times how he holed up in a hotel for two weeks consuming cocaine – possibly as much as 120 grams.

Asked how he did not die, Wiggins responded: “I don’t know. I don’t like to think about it.”

Wiggins, 45, filed for bankruptcy last year after running out of money to pay for hotels and drugs.

He ended up in a crackhouse in Middlesbrough and slept in his car and on park benches in Clapham Common.

One binge saw him smash up his Sports Personality of the Year award, while he also snorted cocaine of his Olympic gold medal.

An extract from Wiggins’ upcoming book reads: “I raged as I smashed up my 2012 trophy for Sports Personality of the Year and my knighthood: ‘This isn’t success.’

“I did that in front of my kids. No wonder there were times when they talked about trying to put me in rehab.

“The desecration of my Olympic medal might have happened away from their gaze but it’s equally sad to reflect on.

“Hundreds of thousands of people roaring me on, millions more watching at home.

“One of the great moments of London 2012, and there I am in a wardrobe, snorting cocaine [off my gold medal], mocking my achievement, hating it for what I believed it had brought me.

“It was the equivalent of pissing on someone’s grave, and in that moment I was pissing on my own.

“The gold medal, the Tour de France… All of it was dead to me. The person I’d been in Paris and London was dead to me too.”

Wiggins has been in recovering for a year after his friend, former cyclist Lance Armstrong, got him into a rehab programme.

He was persuaded to do so after that bleak incident in Middlesbrough, along with a tearful plea for help he sent to his son Ben, 20, who he felt would not judge him.

‘Super weird’ sea DRAGON is uncovered in UK and could solve a 184-million-year-old mystery

A SEA creature thought to be 190 million years old has finally been named 24 years after it was found on the English coast.

The fossil is nearly complete and belongs to a group of ancient marine reptiles that shared the planet with dinosaurs.

The researchers who found the fossil have named it Xiphodracon goldencapsis.

The name comes from the Greek “Xiphos” meaning sword and “dracon” for dragon.

The species name refers to where it was found, Golden Cap in Dorset.

Found on the Jurassic Coast in 2001 the super specimen is an icthysaur dating back to the Pliensbachian period of the Early Jurassic era, between 193-184 million years ago.

“The Sword Dragon of Dorset” is estimated to have been three metres long has a large eye socket and a long sword-esque snout.

Dr Dean Lomax, from the University of Manchester, took on the specimen from an ichthyology specialist at the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada after he retired, and it was studied for the first time in detail.

He said the fossil is a missing piece in the dinosaur’s evolution as several families went extinct in the period and new families emerged. He hopes the skeleton will explain what caused this shift in the species.

Dr Lomax said: “I remember seeing the skeleton for the first time in 2016,”

“Back then, I knew it was unusual, but I did not expect it to play such a pivotal role in helping to fill a gap in our understanding.”

He highlighted some of his favourite features including the long snout and enormous eyes he called: “Pun intended – eye catching.”

“Staring into its eyes and looking at the long jaws with thin, pointed teeth, you can really imagine this animal in life, hunting fish and squid.

“I’d also say that a bone around the nostril opening, called the lacrimal, is super weird. We’ve never seen anything like this type of bone before in any ichthyosaur,” he added.

The “sword dragon”, as the most complete reptile from the Pliensbachian period, can help pin point when the all-important shift in the species occurred.

Fossil collector Chris Moore described the moment he made the find: “I spotted a section of tail vertebrae sticking out and then covered it up and got permission to dig in and have a look at what was there.”

He added: “I followed the vertebrae and which carried on, and then found the rear paddles, and it carried on going: the rib cage was there, the front paddles and then I got to the skull.”

Chis was shocked that the fossil hadn’t been flattened over time and was still three dimensional.

He said his find was “in the mists of time” whilst it waited over two decades for a name from the team at the University of Manchester.

“This is exceptionally long, but in geological time, I suppose its nothing”, he added.

Prof Judy Massare, an ichthyosaur expert from State University of New York, told the BBC: “Thousands of complete or nearly complete ichthyosaur skeletons are known from before and after the Pliensbachian.

“Clearly, a major change in species diversity occurred sometime in the Pliensbachian.”

“Xiphodracon helps to determine when the change occurred, but we still don’t know why,” she added.

Lifestyle influencers’ ‘magical’ name for new baby sparks debate after string of ‘Truly Trendy’ monikers they gave kids

INFLUENCERS caused major controversy over the unique name of their seventh child. 

Aubree, 35, and Josh Jones, 35, received backlash from fans after revealing the shocking name of the newest addition to their family.

Aubree, who has over one million followers on Instagram, regularly posts her life with her six, now seven, children. 

The parents proudly announced the birth of their newest daughter, Disney Mae Jones. 

The couple is already parents to Trendy, 13, Zaylee, 10, Sunny, 9, Truly, 7, Journey, 3, and Rocky, 22 months. 

“It represents persistence, innovation, imagination, family, magic, joy, taking chances and going all in on your dreams,” Josh told Today.

Aubree shared the news on Instagram along with a video of the newborn baby yawning next to Mickey and Minnie stuffed dolls.

In the heartwarming video, baby Disney has on a pair of Minnie ears and is wrapped in a purple blanket.

“New baby name reveal!!!” the proud mom captioned the video.

“We’re so excited to welcome this sweet little baby into our home. We’re all smitten and so in love. 

“It’s been truly magical having her. Here’s to our family’s happily ever after!”

The Joneses purposely avoided any name on the Social Security Administration’s top baby names list, just as they did with their other children.

“We’re a Disney family,” Aubree told Today. 

“She fits that spirit of happiness and magic. I felt it throughout my entire pregnancy.”

The couple, who are outspoken members of the Church of Latter-day Saints, said they received signs of what they should name their newborn.

Aubree said that she stepped out in the middle of the night and saw a shooting star. 

Aubree and Josh's children

  • Trendy, 13
  • Zaylee, 10
  • Sunny, 9
  • Truly, 7
  • Journey, 3
  • Rocky, 22 months
  • Disney, born on October 5, 2025

“I thought, ‘This is perfect,’” the mother recalled.

She said that once she saw the shooting star, the iconic Disney song “When You Wish Upon a Star” came to mind.

The name choice has caused a huge debate online. 

“Just a gentle reminder to all the parents out there that you aren’t just naming a baby; you are naming a future adult who will have to carry that name with them for the rest of their lives,” one follower commented.

Another wrote: “I want to be supportive, but y’all are making it hard.”

However, some people defended the couple.

“From a fellow Disney, I love the name,” one woman wrote.

Aubree and Josh said they don’t care about people’s opinions. 

“We want our children to be different — we want them to stand out,” Aubree told Today in 2024. 

“Like with Trendy — we want her to get out there and start her own trends and do her own thing.”

“When people ask, ‘Why don’t you give them regular names?’ I’m like, I don’t want my children to be regular.”

Big Brother stars reunite as they share big new announcement a year after leaving the house

BIG Brother stars Ali Bromley and Lily Benson reunited to share a big new announcement a year after appearing on the ITV show.

Forensic psychologist Ali, who went on to win the last series, has launched a new podcast with former housemate Lily.

The pair shared the exciting news with fans and revealed they first episode will be launching on Friday.

The reality stars shared a clip of them spilling the beans from their Big Brother journey, including how the welfare team supports housemates behind-the-scenes.

Ali also revealed a surprise reunion she had with former rival Marcello, who she repeatedly clashed with in the house.

Lily also speaks about her hygiene which she regularly came under fire for by her housemates.

Alongside a short snippet from their first episode, they wrote: “The countdown is on… The Social Battery Podcast officially launches THIS FRIDAY!!!! We honestly can’t wait to share it with you. See you Friday.”

Their fans were thrilled with the news of a reunion.

One wrote: “Cs is what we needed, more Ali and Lily content! Been missed. Cannot wait to listen, so excited EEEK.”

A second posted: “Genuinely can’t wait!”

A third commented: “I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long.”

Ali, 39 scooped the £90K jackpot last year, but made a surprising revelation last month when she was asked about what she had been up to since winning the show.

” I have done some charity work, but yeah, I have gone back to work,” she revealed.

Ali works as a forensic psychologist, and has gone back to work just a year after her big win.

Previously speaking about her job, she told ITV: “It’s not your everyday, typical 9-5 office job.

“It’s quite difficult, it’s quite demanding and I work in highly stressful situations.

“But I’m quite chilled and probably don’t look like the sort of person who can hold my own – in a prison for example.”

Last year, Ali won the second ITV series of Big Brother with a whopping 52% of the final vote.

She walked away with the huge prize pot, after beating house rival Marcello Spooks, who came in second place.

After scooping the BB crown, Ali said she believed people backed her for being “authentic” and not having a “game plan”.

Ali and Lily formed a close friendship in the house, with Ali often standing up for her friend, who was just 20 at the time.

But not everyone was as patient as Ali when it came to Lily’s antics.

The other housemates often complained out her outbursts, hygiene and loudness.

Lily was evicted in sixth place. While Ali made it to the final and beat Marcello.
