Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe is reportedly looking likely to move to the Saudi Pro League after rejecting a move to Besiktas, Metro reports. Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku could land at Juventus, who would pay Chelsea £35million for his services, but only if the Italian side can sell Serbia striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to the Evening Standard.

Fashion influencer and model Wisdom Kaye has spoken out to defend skinny jeans from Gen-Z ridicule. The dated denim has received widespread backlash from younger generations and fashion retail platform VIAVIA only added fuel to the fire when it posted a TikTok on 4 September, in which it interviewed a number of Gen-Zers on which fashion trend “absolutely needs to die”. Multiple interviewees were vehemently against skinny jeans, with one proclaiming: “If you’re rocking skinny jeans, take that sh*t off, go to the thrift, go get some baggy sh*t.” Meanwhile, another added that they looked “especially” bad on men, and one woman said she was trying to convince her boyfriend to stop wearing them. Since its posting, the video has received over 2.1 million views and 5,800 comments, the majority of which consist of millennials defending skinny jeans. Amid the ongoing skinny jeans discourse, fashion model and influencer Wisdom Kaye decided to weigh in on the debate. Kaye posted a video to his 9.2 million followers, stitching VIAVIA’s original video with a video of him styling a pair of black skinny jeans with black boots. The influencer went on to show viewers different ways to style a variety of pants with a skinny fit, including a leather pair and a grey pair. The video racked up over 2.3 million views and over 8,500 comments, with users commended Kaye for illustrating to viewers how skinny jeans could be styled in an updated way. Kaye went on to upload the same TikTok video to X, formerly Twitter, where it received 9.7 million views. “I don’t defend skinny jeans because I love them but becuase I think the hate is stupid,” the model wrote beneath the video. “People swear you can’t look good in them when that’s just not true, I admit typically they’re not styled interestingly but the jeans themselves aren’t the issue. Also baggy does not always equal good.” Kaye highlighted that fashion trends have been cycling in and out at a breakneck speed in recent years, adding that “hating on skinny jeans for being outdated is kinda outdated” when trends are “continuously becoming less relevant as everything is just kinda existing all at once”. @wisdm8 IMAGINE WEARING THESE ?? ♬ original sound - Wisdom Kaye Viewers agreed that the baggy versus skinny jeans debate really depended on how the items were styled, while some theorised that some people were hopping onto the hate train simply for the sake of trendiness. “There’s literally nothing wrong with skinny jeans,” one viewer wrote. “It’s just how you style them and the shoes you wear that makes it.” Meanwhile, someone else commented: “People are such conformists. Skinny jeans were in style til last year now suddenly everyone pretends to hate them.” Another added: “All the people hating on skinny jeans are gonna be the first to jump on them as soon as they’re trendy again.” As Y2K fashion continues to establish itself as the fashion era that inspires Gen Z the most, many millennials who grew up during that time will continue to marvel at how quickly some not-so-old trends have come back into play. Many also plan on holding onto their skinny jeans regardless of trends. Read More Love Miu Miu’s ballet flats?

A woman was left stunned during a house viewing after discovering a young man sleeping on the sofa surrounded by booze. Katie Elliott was seeking new rental property for her and two friends. She went to view the three-bed pad with the letting agent. However, after arriving she discovered the house was not only filthy, but a current tenant was dozing on the couch. He was wearing a green T-shirt and black pants with a duvet half-covering him. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter There was a bottle of vodka and beer bottles on the table and litter - including a fag packet and food wrappers - scattered across the floor. Katie filmed it on her phone and was shocked by the house in Newcastle, but also found it hilarious. The 24-year-old said: “The letting agent warned me before we went in that it was extremely dirty and said that they were really struggling with it. “I didn't expect it to be that bad. “You could tell she was embarrassed and she was talking about how ridiculous it was. “The guy on the sofa didn't even notice us, I think he was just fast asleep to be honest. “However, it was 12pm so it wasn't even that early in the day. “It just me who viewed it but the rest of the house was just as bad too. “There was a guy in one of the bedrooms that was arguing with the woman about the mess not being his as he's not there that often as well.” Katie has also revealed, unsurprisingly, that her and her friend did not go for this property. She added “It might have been okay once all cleaned up but two of the rooms were tiny so it didn’t suit us. “The letting agent just kept saying I can only ask you to try and look past the mess. “I'm not definitely sure as my friend booked the viewing but I think it was students living there then. “With the area location, maybe students from Northumbria or Newcastle University.” Katie posted a video online of the viewing which has now gone viral with over 580,000 views and 46,300 likes on TikTok. Many online were left in hysterics at the video Katie posted from her nightmare viewing. Molly Krenz said: “That’s got to be student accommodation.” Danny Baker added: “I’d have industrial wellies in that house.” Hannah Shaida said: “You’re having a laugh here.” Kate Green remarked: “The wheeze I let out when I saw the corpse on the sofa.” Abigail joked: “The reason I was not getting a house share at uni.” Lewis added: “Im crying at the guy passed out.” Have your say in our news democracy.
