Alexander Isak could be too difficult to lure from Newcastle[/caption]

But No 1 target Isak, 25, is proving difficult to lure away, with Newcastle preparing to make him the highest-paid player in their club’s  132-year history.

Isak earns £130,000 a week but Toon want to reward his 27-goal season with a bumper £200,000-a-week deal.

Meanwhile, £60million-rated Gyokeres, who has hit 97 goals in 102 games since arriving in Portugal from Coventry two years ago, has been on Slot’s radar for months.

The 27-year-old was United’s top summer target after boss Ruben Amorim took him to Sporting.

But he wants to play in the Champions League and the Red Devils have no European football.

Arsenal have already had a £55.3m bid rejected by the Portuguese champs and are likely to return with a second offer.

But they now face stiff competition from the Kop.

Gyokeres is at war with Sporting president Frederico Varandas over his selling price and has warned he will not return for pre-season training.

He has an £85m release clause but Sporting could sell for £20m less.

Slot wants to bolster his options up front as Darwin Nunez is close to  joining Napoli in a £42m deal.

While the Reds continue to pursue Crystal Palace skipper Marc Guehi and are confident of landing the 24-year-old defender — in the last year of his contract — for £35m.

Guehi would fill the void  left by Jarell Quansah, 22, who is set for a £34m switch to Leverkusen.

The House prosecution panel submitted to the Senate impeachment court a certification affirming the validity of its complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte. The filing, signed by lead prosecutor and 4Ps Rep. Marcelino Libanan, comes a day after Duterte filed her “ad cautelam” response seeking to void ab initio the impeachment complaint accusing her of

SAN FERNANDO CITY—She is “not pro-any country at all.” Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday clapped back at Malacañang for referring to her as “pro-China” following her criticisms of the Marcos administration’s handling of the Philippines’ territorial dispute with China. “Calling me ‘pro-China’ has been their longtime narrative. I’m not ‘pro-any country’ at all. What

TWO survivors of the 7/7 terror attack yesterday thanked The Sun after they were finally invited to a service marking its 20th anniversary.

We told on Tuesday how Dan Biddle, who lost his legs to a bomb at Edgware Road station, and his saviour, Adrian Heili, had been snubbed.

The Greater London Authority has now sent them invitations to St Paul’s Cathedral — and they have accepted.

Dan, 46, from South Wales, still has PTSD.

He said: “As the most injured survivor of 7/7 I was disappointed not to have made the original guest list but am grateful that this has now been put right after being alerted by The Sun.

“From the start I’ve felt a lack of understanding and compassion when it comes to those who survived 7/7.

“I will be attending the memorial service at St Paul’s to be able to reflect on the day that changed me forever and to also remember those who did not survive.

“We can never forget what happened that day”

Ex-Army medic Adrian, 44, ignored his own injuries to help Dan.

The service will be attended by more than 400 survivors and families of the 52 killed.

IRAN executed three more prisoners accused of spying for Israel as it launched a major crackdown in the wake of the 12-Day War.

The three men – named as Idris Ali, Azad Shojai and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul – were hanged yesterday morning.

The trio were paraded on State TV in blue prison uniforms after being convicted of espionage.

At least six men have been killed in the past 10 days on the orders of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

A further 700 have been rounded up and arrested.

Iran human rights boss, Mahmood Amiry Moghaddam, said: “After the ceasefire with Israel, the Islamic Republic needs more repression to cover up military failures, prevent protests, and ensure its continued survival.

“Executions are the Islamic Republic’s most important tool for instilling societal fear, and in the coming days and weeks, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of prisoners might be at risk of execution.”

In May, a young son of a British couple imprisoned in Iran on spying charges revealed how devastated he was after hearing of his parents’ arrest.

Husband and wife Craig and Lindsay Foreman have spent almost 150 days in jail since being detained during a round-the-world motorbike trip.

The Brits entered Iran despite being warned by the Foreign Office and their family to avoid passing through the notoriously strict state.

The couple, both in their 50s, were held back in January on unspecified espionage charges.

The Iranian government continues to claim they were “posing as tourists” to gather intelligence against the Middle East nation.

Ever since their incarceration, the pair have hardly spoken to their loved ones and mainly had contact with the Foreign Office.
