All the action from Soccer Aid will be live on ITV.

Chelsea’s ‘Inside Story’

FROM the infamous transfer embargo to splashing over £2.1BILLION on players, life under Roman Abramovich was certainly action-packed.

However, the sale of Chelsea wasn’t without its controversy – with the Russian selling due to his links to Vladimir Putin in the immediate aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine.

Earlier this week, Abramovich was threatened with legal action over the ­£2.3bn proceeds from his sale of the club – so the timing of Nick Purewal’s book on the incredible story, which goes on sale on Tuesday June 10, is perfect.

“Sanctioned: The Inside Story of the Sale of Chelsea FC” should to be the ultimate page-turner for fans of football and politics.

The book promises: “Through unprecedented access to Abramovich himself and key figures from Chelsea’s new ownership, as well as further interviews with a star-studded footballing cast… Sanctioned chronicles ninety-five extraordinary days in English football.”

Queen’s

For the first time in 52 years, the Queen’s Club Championships will feature a women’s competition – and it promises to be a belter.

For many, Queen’s means summer has officially arrived, with the strawberries, cream and Pimm’s of Wimbledon just weeks away.

However, for over 50 years, Queen’s Club has only hosted a men’s tournament.

But this year, there’s a women’s event – with the main draw starting on Monday and the whole tournament available to watch on BBC.

For Brits, Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu are the big hopes – while there are a whopping SIX Grand Slam champions in total in the draw.
