🚨 Transfer News: Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign striker Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to €85M (£74M).

The 22-year-old Slovenian will join for an initial €76.5M, plus €8.5M in add-ons. Šeško, who scored 21 goals last season and has drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland, chose United over Newcastle despite the lack of European football.

Standing 6'4" with pace and power, Šeško is the latest addition to United’s attacking overhaul, following Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo — a trio that combined for 58 goals last season.

United’s investment of over £200M on forwards highlights their push to bounce back from last season’s struggles, where they scored just 44 league goals.

Kenya to Roll Out First Locally Manufactured Vaccines by 2027 🇰🇪💉

Over the next two years, Kenya will begin trials for its first locally made vaccines, aiming to give more than 3 million children access to affordable, life-saving protection against pneumonia and typhoid.

Backed by Ksh. 8 billion in World Bank funding, the Kenya BioVax Institute is assembling world-class manufacturing facilities in Embakasi. By 2027, three vaccines will be ready for trials — a step toward self-reliance and improved health security.

CEO Dr. Charles Githinji says the initiative will reduce Kenya’s heavy dependence on donor funding (currently 80% of the Ksh. 15B annual vaccine cost) and position the country as a key player in Africa’s USD 5.6B vaccine market.

Vision 2030 Chair Emmanuel Nzai hailed the move as a boost to Universal Health Coverage, lowering costs, strengthening pandemic preparedness, and making Kenya a regional hub for vaccine production.

🏃‍♀️ Faith Kipyegon: Chasing History & Inspiring Generations 🇰🇪✨

Kenya’s three-time Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon remains driven by one big dream — to see a woman break the four-minute mile barrier.

Though her special attempt in Paris clocked 4:06.42, she says it proved the feat is possible:

“If it’s not me, it will be someone in this generation or the next. That’s why I keep going, keep training.”

Just days later, she bounced back to set a world 1500m record (3:48.68) at the Prefontaine Classic.

With the World Championships in Tokyo ahead, Kipyegon welcomes World Athletics’ new gender testing rules and hints at a future marathon debut:

> “I’m not getting younger. I’ll announce soon, but not now.”

From medals to records, her mission is clear — proving women can push boundaries and inspire the world.

🇰🇪 Harambee Stars Battle to Draw Against Angola ⚽️

Captain Aboud Omar hailed midfielder Marvin Nabwire’s red card as a decisive moment in Thursday’s tense qualifier, crediting his last-man challenge with preventing a likely goal.

Kenya fought back from an early setback after Jo Paciencia put Angola ahead in the 7th minute, with Austin Odhiambo equalising from the spot just five minutes later. Forced to play over 70 minutes with 10 men, the Stars held firm, thanks to Coach Bennie McCarthy’s tactical tweaks and the team’s resilience.

While Omar praised Nabwire’s “bold act for the team,” McCarthy felt the sending-off was “a little bit soft.”

The hard-earned point keeps Kenya’s qualification hopes alive as they gear up for their next clash. 💪🇰🇪

🇰🇪 President Ruto Unveils Protest Victim Compensation Plan

President William Ruto has announced a 120-day government programme to compensate civilians and security personnel injured or killed during public protests in Kenya since 2017.

The initiative, coordinated by Prof. Makau Mutua, aims to uphold the constitutional right to peaceful assembly while addressing the human and economic toll of unrest.

📢 UK Charity Watchdog Clears Prince Harry in Sentebale Bullying Row

The UK Charity Commission has cleared Prince Harry of bullying allegations linked to a public dispute within Sentebale, the African charity he co-founded in 2006.

The inquiry found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment, but criticised all parties for allowing the "damaging internal dispute" to unfold publicly, harming the charity’s reputation. It also cited governance weaknesses and issued a plan for reforms.

Prince Harry, who resigned as a patron earlier this year alongside co-founder Prince Seeiso, called the situation "heartbreaking." Chairperson Sophie Chandauka, who remains in her post, welcomed the findings while standing by her governance concerns.

The commission urged all parties to refocus on Sentebale’s mission: supporting young people affected by HIV/AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.
