Timeline set for next 2 Liverpool transfers after completing Florian Wirtz deal
Florian Wirtz will not be Liverpool's final piece of transfer business with two more deals set to quickly be completed at Anfield as Arne Slot forms his squad for next season Liverpool have made the biggest splash of the summer transfer window so far with the confirmation of Florian Wirtz's arrival at Anfield. The transfer could see a British record fee paid with the package coming to £116million with add-ons included. Wirtz already has some lofty targets to complete with his team-mates. 'I would like to win everything every year! First of all, we have to do our work, I have to make my work," he said. 'In the end, we want to be successful. Last season they won the Premier League so my goal is for sure to win it again and also to go further in the Champions League. I'm really ambitious.' With such ambition, it's no wonder the Reds have not been put off spending more in the coming days and weeks. Arne Slot has already seen the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong at Anfield, and ex-Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Wirtz sees a significant increase in spending after completing his medical on Friday. But more business is set to be conducted in the coming days as Liverpool look to equip themselves with the ability to retain the Premier League title. Two deals could soon be completed: one in and one out. Milos Kerkez is expected to travel to Merseyside on Tuesday to undergo his medical after Liverpool agreed a £40m fee with Bournemouth. The full-back is set to come in and provide strong competition to Andy Robertson. Personal terms are already agreed for Dominik Szoboszlai's Hungary team-mate as the Premier League champions move to get another deal over the line. Kerkez's arrival could see Robertson mull a possible move to Atletico Madrid however. Wirtz's arrival may not have been Liverpool's final dealing with Bayer Leverkusen this summer either. Defender Jarell Quansah is closing in on a £35m move to the Bundesliga side. Reports suggest the transfer could be agreed in 24-48 hours with the former Bristol Rovers loanee having already offered his approval. Negotiations area already noted to be at their final stages. An exit for the young defender in the coming days could see the Reds move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi. The ex-Chelsea youngster's deal is set to expire in 12 months time. A striker also remains a target for Liverpool, particularly if Darwin Nunez departs as expected. Newcastle ace Alexander Isak is among those admired but a deal would not be easy.

The area is a picturesque experience, iconic for its postcard views no matter which way you turn and the crisp mountain air you can only find in the Rockies. Here's what you need to know about visiting Banff National Park. Banff National Park is Canada's first national park and the 'flagship of the nation's park system,' according to the federal government. Banff was established in the 1880s to draw tourists to the area, unlike many of the other mountain towns that grew from mining settlements. A number of natural hot springs nearby discovered by railway workers quickly drew increased tourist attention and spurred the government to designate the area a reserve to protect the springs. The reserve quickly grew and was later renamed Banff National Park. Today, Banff, and the nearby Lake Louise, has become a world-renowned destination and in 1984, Banff National Park was declared a part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is popular with both local and international visitors, whether seeking a hotel getaway or a camping excursion. By car: Banff is about a 9-hour drive east of Vancouver, or a 1.5-hour drive west of Calgary. While the TransCanada highway is open year-round, it does wind through the Rockies and can be intimidating for some drivers. During the winters, road conditions may be slick and during the summers, there may be wildfire alerts along the route. By shuttle / plane: You can also reach Banff by flying into Calgary International Airport and then taking a shuttle. There are a number of shuttle companies that will pick up from the airport and drop you off in Banff. You can also look up shuttle and tour companies that will depart from the Vancouver area. Some shuttle companies you can look into include ABest Transport and Tour Services , Alpine Limousine & Tours , Banff Airporter , Banff Sedan , Brewster Express , Discover Banff Tours , Mountain Park Transportation and Banff Chauffeur . By train: The Banff area is also serviced by the Rocky Mountaineer train. There is regularly scheduled train service from April through October that start or finish in Banff. Banff has a wide of accommodations, no matter what you're looking for. Lodgings in the area range from luxury hotels to budget-friendly hostels, from family-friendly cabins to intimate bed and breakfast cottages, and even campgrounds. For suggestions on where to stay, visit the Banff & Lake Louise accommodations page where you'll find options for every budget and need . Ride the Banff Gondola. To get a unique view of the Rockies, consider hopping on board the Banff Gondola. The eight-minute ride takes you up 700 metres, delivering you to the very peak of Sulphur Mountain where you can take in a meal and enjoy a short hike. The outing takes between 1 to 3 hours and offers a breathtaking view of the surroundings. Get outdoors. There's no shortage of trails of varying levels of difficulty for hikers, and there's plenty of ways to get out on the water. You can also explore the area on bike, by horseback, or even go climbing and caving. No matter how you get outside, just make sure that you do. In the winter, you can ski or snowboard, go snowshoeing or skating, tubing or even try dogsledding! Visit Moraine Lake or Lake Louise. If you've seen a postcard of Banff, chances are you've seen the crystal blue waters of Moraine Lake or Lake Louise. The reflection of the sky on the water's surface on a blue-sky day is certainly worth the journey — but you'll want to make sure you make the trek early. Both lakes are popular with visitors and can often get crowded later into the day. Check out a family-friendly attraction. Travelling with kids? There's plenty to keep them entertained, including the Golden Skybridge , hot springs, the Glacier Skywalk , or any number of museums and historic sites. Some of those include the Banff Park Museum National Historic Site , the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum , the Cave and Basin National Historic Site , or the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies . (Don't forget that admission for kids and young adults to national parks and national historic sites are free or discounted this summer 2025 !) Depends on what you'd like to do: If you're looking to explore outdoors in warm weather, your best bet is to visit between June to October. Those seeking winter activities should visit from late February to early March for the best snow conditions. Depends on if you like crowds: Hoping to avoid crowds? Any time beside July and August should do the trick, as those are considered peak summer seasons for the Banff area. Depends on if you like heat: July and August are generally the warmest months of the year for Banff, so if you can't sweat it but you want warm weather, consider a bit earlier in the spring and summer. Depends on if you like a cosy cardigan: September and October are a beautiful time of year to make the drive to Banff, with leaves turning to autumn colours. Prices will generally come down a bit too, as peak season winds down. sip@

Lillie Clack: Mum calls for law change after drink-driving crash
A mother has called for changes in the law after her daughter was killed in a drink-driving crash where she was a Clack, 22, of Morden, south-west London, was injured in the crash in the early hours of Christmas Day 2021 and died three days was among six people in a Mercedes that hit a tree following a police chase, flipped over and burst into flames in Carshalton. The driver, Charlie Hilton, was jailed in 2023 for causing Lillie's death by dangerous driving and driving above the alcohol a coroner's ruling of unlawful killing, Debbie Clack is urging lifetime driving bans for motorists involved in fatal crashes while under the influence. Sebastian Naughton, assistant coroner for London South, said the evidence showed Hilton's actions could be considered as gross negligence as he fled police reaching speeds of more than 100mph (161km/h), carried out an illegal U-turn and ran a red a light as passengers inside the car begged him to after the inquest at South London Coroner's Court, Lillie's mother said: "Lillie went through a horrific ordeal and we are continuing to live through this every day."She added: "Hilton killed my daughter."He pleaded guilty to causing her death by dangerous driving while more than twice the legal alcohol limit, running from the police, refusing to stop, losing control of his car, and crashing into a tree."She is calling for lifetime driving bans for anyone convicted of causing death by dangerous driving while under the influence and for tougher penalties for dangerous drivers. Ms Clack said the crash caused a bleed on Lillie's brain and she died on 28 December. "She was just 22. My baby girl," she said."If going through today's pain means something changes, if it shines a light on what went wrong and stops even one other family from feeling this kind of grief, then it was worth it."It cannot be right that any driver involved in a fatal crash gets to go home still carrying their licence in their pocket. It is also the case that too often those convicted of injuring people by their dangerous driving can one day return to the road."What happened to Lillie, her family, friends and the whole community, has to mean something. We all need to believe that lessons will be learned." 'In trouble' The friends had been enjoying a Winter Wonderland attraction and visited a pub in Morden before accepting a lift home from car crashed in Beeches Avenue, February 2023, Hilton was jailed at the Old Bailey for 10 years and six months after pleading guilty to causing Lillie's death by dangerous driving, three counts of causing serious injury, failing to stop when directed and driving above the alcohol coroner suggested Hilton "possibly knew he was in trouble due to the number of people in his vehicle", that the U-turn was "practically inviting the police to pursue" and he would have known he was over the alcohol limit to "made no effort to ascertain" if his passengers were wearing their seatbelts. In his findings the coroner said: "Despite repeated requests from passengers throughout the pursuit to slow down or stop, the driver of the Mercedes would not stop or slow down after the police were no longer in pursuit of the Mercedes."The Mercedes was travelling at about 70mph - in a 30mph speed zone - just seconds before the car went over a raised pedestrian crossing."The driver of the Mercedes lost control of the vehicle, was weaving before striking kerbs on both sides of the road and leaving the carriageway, striking a tree and the Mercedes," Mr Naughton said."Lillie sustained serious chest and head injuries in the collision."Due to the severity of her injuries there was no possible surgical intervention. Lillie deteriorated and died on 28 December 2021."It is not possible to say if her injuries could have been mitigated if her seatbelt had been fastened."Complications of a head injury was given as the cause of death in a post-mortem examination.
