A KROGER shopper was left to fend for themselves at self-checkout, blasting the grocery chain online.

They shared an image of their stacked groceries at the kiosk, calling out the unacceptable absence of cashiers.

In a post to X, the Kroger shopper paired the picture of their full bagging area with a plea for human employees.

"Can we please get some human checkout service in San Diego?" they asked.

"6:30 am at the Hazard Center location. No checkers available to help me.

"Full cart of groceries at self-checkout. Unacceptable!"

Kroger responded to the complaint, apologizing for the shopper's poor experience.

"We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

"We will forward your comments to the appropriate department to make them aware of your concerns.

"If you need further assistance with anything else, please let us know."

KROGER CRITIQUES

Another Kroger shopper has turned to social media to chastise the chain for overcharging on groceries.

They claimed that Kroger would promote a sale price but fail to follow through at checkout.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

"Regularly, my local Kroger advertises a sale price, charges a full price at checkout, and assumes I won't check my receipt before I leave," they shared on X.

To receive the discount price, the shopper would have to visit customer service despite long lines.

"They also assume I won't wait in a customer service line for 45 minutes to get the $10 they overcharged me back," they said.

"Yeah, right. Not today…"

Other shoppers similarly ran into issues with Kroger's sale prices, alleging the grocer did not honor sales prices when they ordered for delivery.

"Be careful with Kroger boost delivery," shared one X user.

"If you order and pay prior to sale ending and they deliver your order next day then you can and will be massively overcharged!" they claimed.

However, the grocer was quick to explain that the surcharges were related to the delivery date, not the order date.

According to the retailer, customers are charged when the groceries arrive – if the sale ends before that, they will be charged the price difference.

"Our weekly ad comes out every Wednesday. You are charged for your items on the day of your pickup/delivery," posted the retailer.

"Prices are subject to change when the weekly ad changes. We apologize for any confusion this caused. Have a great day!"

In related news, Kroger was told to "revisit policy" after the chain admitted a self-checkout flaw and accepted it "could be easy to miss."

Another Kroger shopper fumed after a "ridiculous" self-checkout decision despite a rival opening.

A LOYAL Wells Fargo customer bashed the bank's customer service after their account was abruptly closed.

The account was closed due to address confusion, but the customer placed the blame on the bank.

Facebook users readily critiqued the bank after a customer had their account of 16 years shut down[/caption]

In a post to Facebook, the Wells Fargo user blasted the bank for closing their long-standing business account over outdated account information.

"Reason #543 why I hate Wells Fargo bank," they began.

"Today I found out the bank had closed a business account that I've had for 16 years because they 'didn't know the physical address of my company.'"

The customer blamed the bank for failing to send adequate notice of the necessary account changes.

"Not that I don't receive statements and other communications monthly from them," they wrote.

"Worst customer service in the world. Good riddance!"

COMMENTER CRITIQUES

Facebook users flooded the comments to critique the bank's operations.

One user claimed they had lost over $20,000 to fraud last year while banking with Wells Fargo, accusing the bank of being apathetic.

"I never liked them… I've heard many shifty stories," said another.

Others took issue with not only Wells Fargo but also big banks in general, such as Bank of America and Citi Bank.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

One mentioned they had cut their ties with big banks 25 years ago. "Hate them all," they said.

"Get away from the big banks!" advised another user, as a third suggested banking with a Credit Union.

NO HELP

Their warnings hold some merit, as numerous customers have suffered losses due to fraudulent activity on their Wells Fargo accounts.

One such customer is Jolinda Crocker, 63, who had $60,000 stolen from her account while teaching in Italy.

She filed a fraud report but a week later was accused of transferring the money herself by the bank.

"I would never transfer such a big sum of money in my life. I run a little music school," she told Daily Mail.

                        <p class="article__content--intro">                  As scams become more sophisticated with the use of artificial intelligence, it is important you know how to spot a scam:                </p>          </div>  </div>  

Crocker has been working to get her funds back for the past two years, but with no success.

"It feels like everybody is just rolling their eyes. $60,000 is nothing to Wells Fargo but it's my lifesaving," she said.

In other Wells Fargo news, a customer was "at complete zero" because the bank unexpectedly closed their account while traveling.

Plus, the bank "quietly overcharged" thousands of customers for 10 years according to a $5 million lawsuit, revealing how the bank did it.

SHOPPERS are being advised to use their cell phones to detect credit card skimmers after the devices were found at a Massachusetts gas station.

A gas station in Brookline, located 20 minutes outside of Boston, recently discovered scamming devices were being used to steal several customers' credit card information from January 16 to March 15.

Credit card skimmers are devices placed on pin pad machines that steal personal information using Bluetooth technology. 

Once users input their card and pin, the information gets sent to an external recorder via Bluetooth.

Skimmers look similar to keypads and range in size, making it hard to tell if one is on the card machine you're using. 

If you're using a gas pump that has a skimmer, there's no way to protect yourself after you've inserted your card. 

Card skimmers are most commonly found at gas stations or ATMS, but can also be found at self-checkout machines or restaurants. 

Since card skimmers can be hard to locate by eye, Brookline police are helping customers find an easier way to detect skimmers by using the Bluetooth capability of their cell phones. 

The police posted a video to Facebook explaining what a card skimmer is and how to detect it. 

"In your settings, if you open Bluetooth and hold your phone close to the pump, it should pick up the skimmer device with the code HC-05 or something similar," Sergeant Rob said in the video. 

The officer advises customers not to connect to the HC-05 Bluetooth and instead report it to the gas station. 

The Brookline police advise hiding your keypad when entering your PIN to avoid your transaction being recorded. Apple or Google Pay is recommended over using a physical card.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

On top of checking via Bluetooth for credit card skimmers, try to stick to gas stations or ATMs you're familiar with.

SKIMMING ON THE RISE

Card skimming is on the rise across the United States.

In 2023, the total number of compromised debit cards was up 96% from 2022, according to FICO.

Compromised cards caused by ATMs were up by 90%.

Last week, two scammers were arrested right outside of Houston on charges related to credit card skimming. 

Not only did the pair of scammers place a credit card skimmer internally in credit card machines, but they also inserted a camera into the card readers to record users' transactions. 

    </div>  </div>  

About 60% of skimming occurs at privately owned ATMs typically located in convenience stores or other privately owned establishments, according to United Credit Union.

Most credit card companies also offer alerts of possible fraudulent activity happening on any accounts.

Signing up for these alerts will help prevent any future fraudulent activity.

As these crimes become more common across the country, it's important now more than ever to stay vigilant while using your credit card.

A YOUNG man has transformed a bus that was previously used to sell marijuana into a luxurious tiny home.

The house-on-wheels is now full of unique features, including something fun hanging up on the back.

Kelly Wakasa is a YouTuber who decided to try tiny home living for himself.

Like others who have experimented with this lifestyle, he decided to convert a bus into a tiny home on wheels.

He shared the entire process in a YouTube vlog for his 1.5 million subscribers.

But Kelly's choice of vehicle was no ordinary bus.

He bought a 2008 GMC short bus that had previously been used to sell weed in Manhattan.

What's more, it had a lot of problems.

The AC, stereo, and electricity were all broken.

Kelly's plan was to convert the bus into a home on wheels that followed his personal motto: "Do what excites."

Aside from the mechanical work, Kelly did the whole conversion himself with the help of his friends.

Amazingly, it took just 30 days of focussed work to totally transform the shabby bus into a luxurious space.

The completed vehcicle could sleep up to six people, plus there was space to hang out, and even study.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

Kelly added plenty of unique touches such as turf on the floor and a vivid blue paint job for the exterior.

VISION CAME TO LIFE

At the back, he installed a basketball hoop – perfect for some street-side hoop-shooting.

After 30 days, the transformation wasn't fully complete, but the YouTuber was proud of the progress he had made so far.

"Obviously, there are still a lot of things to fix, a lot of things to renovate," said Kelly.

"I couldn't be more proud of the hours and hours my friends and I worked on this thing.

"It makes me so proud and I can't believe that my vision has come to life."

OTHER TRANSFORMATIONS

Kelly isn't the only one who has tuned an old bus into a tiny home.

Tiny home veteran Rita revealed how she and her dog live full-time in a 2001 Ford shuttle.

She told fans during a YouTube video: "Whatever gets you out on the road fast enough so that you can adventure and see and do and experience things, don't worry about it being pretty."

Another tiny home fan used a yurt as their economical but cozy house.

And see the company that sells ready-to-go tiny homes for just $15,000.

A TACO Bell employee has revealed a crucial hack to customers that could let them get more beans for less.

The staffer noted that the menu secret wouldn't cost much money, but the bean benefit would be significant.

An employee at Taco Bell seemingly revealed a bean hack for customers[/caption]

They spilled the information after a request from a fan, who noted their love for Taco Bell's beans.

The customer wanted to know which specific order combination would allow for the most beans at the same relative purchase price.

"Taco Bell employees…which option would get me the most beans?" they asked in a thread on Reddit.

"No judgment, please…I just love their beans."

They also included a screenshot of their order.

It showed a Pintos N Cheese bowl along with a Bean Burrito with extra beans added.

The price for both were listed at $2.49 and $2.44, respectively.

An employee quickly replied that the customer had already selected the menu item with the opportunity for the most beans at Taco Bell.

It would be through the Bean Burrito and selecting extra beans.

The staffer claimed that beans are distributed to menu options at the fast food chain through two different scoops, a "green scoop" and a "red scoop."

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

Green scoops supposedly offer a standard amount of beans, while red is designated for smaller quantities.

In the Bean Burrito, according to the employee, there is typically one green scoop of beans.

With the extra beans selection, a red scoop is added.

They also confirmed that the Pinto N Cheese bowl comes with a green scoop of beans.

That means the customer would be getting a total of two green scoops and one red scoop of beans in their order.

The employee noted its the best option price-wise for the beans at a total of $4.93.

ANOTHER WAY?

Another suggested that the customer should instead opt for a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito in their order, as it is "$1 less" in comparison to the Bean Burrito.

They'd get slightly less beans, as it only features one red scoop, but it would be cheaper, and they'd still get the complete green scoop in the Pinto N Cheese bowl.

"Your best bean/$ ratio though would probably be cheesy bean and rice burrito," the Taco Bell staffer wrote in a post.

"It gets one small scoop but it's $1 less."

"Need to do more math on it, but that's my theory so far," they added.

It would seemingly make more sense for the customer to add the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito for the extra $1, or leave it out altogether and stick with their original order.

They would have to decide if the extra $1 was worth the small red scoop of additional beans.

A LOTTO player explained how an out-of-the-ordinary decision for her led to a $2 million win.

An anonymous lottery player in Michigan said she won big on an instant win scratch card game.

The 41-year-old, from Macomb County, north of Detriot, played the $2,000 Large Instant Game.

She purchased her ticket at Party Palace Liquor in Shelby Township, according to Michigan Lottery Connect.

The winner explained that she stopped to buy a lotto slip on her way to pick up pizza.

She also shared that the random twist of fate was that she was not the typical person in her household to purchase lottery tickets.

"My husband is usually the one who buys scratch off tickets, but I decided to stop and buy one on my way to pick up pizza," she said.

The player added that she instantly found out she had won a life-changing amount of cash.

"While I was waiting for my pizza, I sat in my car and scratched the ticket," she said.

"It was surreal when I realized I'd won $2 million."

The lucky player explained what she did next as soon as she found out the good news.

"I called my husband to tell him the big news because I was so excited.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

"I couldn't wait until I got home!"

She later visited the state's lottery headquarters in Lansing to claim her money.

Players are given the option between a one-time payment or an annuity option that would spread out the installments across years.

The 41-year-old chose the one-time option but this wiped a large chunk of her winnings off after fees and taxes were taken.

She ended up walking away with $1.3 million.

This winner said she planned to spend the cash on a vacation and paying off bills.

MISSED MONEY

The U.S. Sun has reported on other high-value lottery tickets yet to be claimed.

A $500,000 winning Powerball ticket was sold in Mason City, Iowa, about two hours away from Des Moines.

This ticket matched all five numbers and the Powerball, which was five.

The other numbers were 12, 23, 44, 57, and 61.

This player must claim their prizes by September 12.

Andre Onana has endured a difficult first season at Manchester United (Picture: Getty)

Andre Onana's former teammate Ryan Babel has blamed a Manchester United defender for making the goalkeeper look 'terrible'.

Onana has endured a difficult first season at Old Trafford but Babel, who played with the Cameroonian at Ajax, believes United's defence is partly to blame.

United have won less than half of their league games this season, sitting 13 points outside the Champions League places and 26 adrift of leaders Arsenal with four games remaining.

Onana has attracted criticism for some high-profile mistakes and Babel insists his former teammate has 'not been himself' since arriving at United.

But the ex-Netherlands star believes Onana has not been helped by a dysfunctional Manchester United defence and says Harry Maguire often 'puts him in trouble'.

'Andre Onana is a great goalkeeper, I played with him at Ajax and he went on and continued to show what he's capable of at Inter,' Babel told Ladbrokes.

'And then he signed for Man United and for some reason it hasn't worked out. That's concerning. It's been so long that these supporters have had to suffer, they want immediate impact and results, especially from new signings.

Ryan Babel played with Onana at Ajax (Picture: Getty)

'I know the spotlight is on Onana a lot in this United team, but the mistakes we've seen are as a result of a combination of things.

'Onana, at Ajax, had a back four in front of him who were all incredible with the ball at their feet.

'Respectfully, if Onana is then playing with Harry Maguire, then that immediately puts Onana in trouble, because he's playing with defenders who aren't opening themselves up, or making the right runs, so that Onana has options to play, and that puts him in trouble.

'At Ajax, Onana had the privilege of four great defenders, and Frenkie de Jong in front of them. Onana is a great goalkeeper, but they made him look even better.

'If a set of players don't work well together, it makes some of those players in particular look terrible. In this case, that's what Onana has experienced.

'Absolutely, though, some mistakes have been completely his fault; sometimes you question his positioning, or you just wonder what he's doing.

                    </div>                  </div>                          </div>                          </div>                          </div>                          </div>                          </div>                          </div>                          </div>                                          </div>                        </div>                          </div>  

'He's not been himself in my opinion, but from what I know of him, and what I've seen, he's an incredibly talented goalkeeper, and I hope that more people can see that next season for Manchester United.'

Onana conceded a penalty in United's disappointing 1-1 draw with Burnley at the weekend, meaning Erik ten Hag's side have now won just one of their last six games.

The Red Devils have little to play for in the Premier League but face Manchester City in the FA Cup final one week after the final day.

Arsenal legend Perry Groves angered Tottenham supporters after he was seen celebrating a goal for the Gunners in the stands during the north London derby on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta's side sealed a 3-2 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to maintain their push to win the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's own goal handed Arsenal the lead in the 15th minute before Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz extended the lead for the visitors by the break.

Groves, meanwhile, was sat in the media section of the stadium as he was working as a co-commentator for talkSPORT and was filmed fist-pumping the air while Arsenal were ahead.

Tottenham supporters who were sat near Groves became agitated after catching the former Arsenal winger celebrate during talkSPORT's live radio broadcast.

The video saw one irate Tottenham supporter shout 'get out' repeatedly towards Groves after he had fist-pumped the air.

The supporter filming the video then said to Groves: 'You should be ashamed of yourself, you're on the radio, you'll cause a riot here, you can't do that, there's kids here, it's dangerous.'

The fan filming the incident then caught the attention of a nearby steward and said: 'Excuse me, do you know that fella there? He shouldn't be doing that.'

Groves then notices the fan behind him and the supporter said: 'You shouldn't be doing that, Pel, that's a liberty. Come on, Perry. You know you've done wrong. You're live on the radio, you shouldn't be doing that Perry.'

A third fan then shouted at the steward, 'get him out', while another said, 'he needs to go'.

Groves was then approached by the steward but remained on commentary for the remainder of the broadcast.

Groves made 205 appearances during his playing career for Arsenal and helped the club win two First Division titles and the League Cup.

The 59-year-old also works as a co-commentator for Arsenal's in-house media channel.

John Higgins says his stunning deciding-frame clearance to beat Mark Allen at the World Championship will live with him forever, describing it as one of his best moments in snooker.

The Wizard of Wishaw and the Pistol played out an epic contest at the Crucible which went all the way to 12-12 late on Monday night.

Allen looked to be the one getting over the line as he made a break of 62 before missing a red with the rest and allowing Higgins a slim chance of pinching victory.

The Scot came to the table with little on and immediately took on a reverse double which went in and put him perfectly on the black, a shot that Stephen Hendry suggested was the bravest he had ever seen.

Higgins would go on to make 71, winning the match on the final black and booking his place in the quarter-finals where he will meet Kyren Wilson.

The four-time world champion is known for his epic 'dishes' to win frames, but it has been a testing time for him over the last two or three years, being on the wrong end of a number of painful and close defeats rather than handing them out.

Given that context, he feels this latest dish is his finest ever.

'The best, probably,' Higgins said of his clearance. 'With everything that's been before in the last couple of years, to stand up there under the ultimate pressure. It's the best.'

The 48-year-old admitted that emotions were running high while Allen was at the table, with his top 16 place on the line if he lost and the possibility he may never return to the Crucible.

'I was just trying to stay positive in my chair, not give off any negative energy,' he said. 'But I was also steeling myself, I was getting my speech ready, what I was going to say to Mark. I never expected him to miss.

'I thoroughly enjoyed the occasion of playing here at the Crucible again. I had a little look round about when Mark was on about 50 and thought, "I'll miss this place if I never get here again." So luckily for me it changed round and I've got another chance to get out there and make more memories.'

Allen congratulated Higgins after the stunning climax (Picture: Getty Images)

Doubling in the opening red was a moment of snooker genius from the Scot, but one that reminded him of another of his classic moments on the table.

Higgins cleared up to win a deciding frame in the 2006 Masters final against Ronnie O'Sullivan, which also included a doubled red along the way.

'When I was on the double I was thinking it reminds me a bit of the Ronnie O'Sullivan in the Masters,' he said. 'I was thinking it could be special if I doubled it.'

Then came an immense break, followed by a memorable celebration as he held his arms aloft to the Crucible crowd.

'You're just trying to stay in the moment. Trying to push the cue through straight,' he said. 'I felt really calm. Just as that black goes in, I can't even remember whatever I did, but it was a proud moment for me, really proud. It was incredible. One of my best ever moments.'

Higgins has admitted that belief in big moments has sapped away over the last couple of years, but things could change after that effort under monumental pressure.

'It should do a hell of a lot, it should do wonders for me, now that I can do it at the hardest place to play snooker. That should give me confidence,' he said.

Higgins wowed the Crucible crowd (Picture: Getty Images)

'Onwards and upwards. Some good things can happen now, when you believe. Brilliant memory. That will live with me forever, that clearance.

'Just keep believing. Don't get too down on yourself, because I am still capable of producing some good memories. Always believe.'

Allen had a classy message for the winner despite the nightmare end to the game,saying Higgins can go all the way to a fifth world title.

'I said to him at the end, he can go on and win this, he's one of the very few that can. He just needs to believe it,' said Allen. 'I know he hasn't had the best of times in regards to winning things, but there's not many people can do that at 12-12 in the Crucible.

'He needs to give himself a massive pat on the back. He can go on and win this thing. John's a good guy, one of the guys I would class as a friend on the tour. Yes I'm disappointed but he's one of the ones I'm going to be cheering on.'

Former boxing world champion, Dingaan Thobela, has died aged 57 after battling illness.

Thobela, nicknamed the 'Rose of Soweto', was found dead in his flat in Johannesburg, South Africa on Monday evening.

Thobela's childhood friend, Eddie Mutungutungu, revealed that he became concerned after being unable to contac the former boxer.

'He was strangely unavailable on his cellphone, and his family, accompanied by police, managed to gain access to his place of residence and found he had passed on,' Mutungutungu said.

During his career, Thobela won three world titles in two weight divisions. He won the WBO lightweight title in 1990 and WBA lightweight belt in 1993 before winning the WBC super-middleweight title in 2000.

Thobela retired in 2006 with a record of 40 wins, 14 defeats and two draws from 56 fights.

South African boxer Kevin Lerena thanked Thobela for being an 'inspiration and motivation'.

'Rest in peace to South African boxing legend Dingaan Thobela,' Lerena wrote on X.

'Your talent and determination in the ring will never be forgotten. You always supported me and believed in my abilities, pushing me to reach my fullest potential. Thank you for your inspiration and motivation, Champ.'

Speaking about his tough upbringing in an interview with Ring Magazine last year, Thobela said: 'Soweto helped make me what I am today. I come from the tough ghetto.

'It was tough in the sense of poverty; we grew up with nothing. My mother abandoned me when I was three months old. She took me to my grandmother on my dad's side. She couldn't raise me. My grandmother nurtured me.

'I was bullied by my elders, and boxing was a form of defense.

'Norman [Hlabane, boxing trainer] had faith in me. He threw me into the amateur ranks.

'He was not there 80 percent of the time, but he would train me and prepare me, and then he would let me go with someone who would be in the corner with me. He saw I was skillful and handled myself against those guys.'

Following the release of sexy tennis movie Challengers, real-life couple Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur have lifted the lid on their own steamy romance.

Challengers arrived in UK cinemas on Friday – a sweaty, X-rated romantic sports drama starring Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist as fictional tennis players.

Social media has been in a frenzy over the movie directed by Luca Guadagnino, which has scored 83 out of 100 on Metacritic, indicating universal acclaim.

With everyone talking about the film, British No.1 Boulter and Australian world No.11 De Minaur have taken the time to open up about their own relationship.

The power couple have been together for four years but initially hid their romance from fellow players across the ATP Tour and WTA Tour as well as the public.

They have now revealed the extreme lengths they went to in order to avoid speculation and the tricks they played to keep their relationship a secret.

'Remember that time when we were having breakfast on like separate tables?' a giddy Boulter said in a video posted by the WTA.

'That was the early stages,' De Minaur added. 'We would rock down to breakfast at different times.'

Boulter elaborated further, explaining it was 'different times, like 10 minutes later' with her boyfriend De Minaur confirming they did it to 'avoid speculation'.

'It's so true, so people wouldn't find out,' Boulter said, with the lovebirds clearly enjoying their trip down memory lane as De Minaur added: 'Works every time!'

Boulter and De Minaur have both enjoyed successful spells since their relationship went public with the Briton clinching her maiden WTA Tour title last year and following it up with the San Diego Open trophy on clay in March this year.

De Minaur, meanwhile, earned a spot inside the world top 10 and recently beat Rafael Nadal at the Barcelona Open on the Spaniard's favourite clay surface.

'I think what was very important in the early stages, we talked about tennis being the No.1 priority and that we would make all of this work,' De Minaur said.

'Just finding that balance. Like, I thought it was going to be quite tough.'

Boulter added: 'That was the tough part I think. The very start of the relationship was hard.

'It's crazy to think this time last year I was playing in Japan, I was ranked like world No.150.'

De Minaur then chimed in and said: 'I remember you telling me, 'I will not be playing a clay-court swing in my life, I refuse to play on clay' – and now here you are! Top 30.

'It fills me with a lot of joy being able to say I told you so. I think we are helping each other.'

Boulter teased her boyfriend in response and said: 'I take full credit for you making the top 10!'

'Only reason I made it,' De Minaur joked.

Judd Trump is expecting a tough test against Jak Jones in the World Snooker Championship quarter-final, but feels he can 'turn it on' when required this year.

It is no surprise that Trump is into the last eight in Sheffield after a superb season that has seen him land five ranking titles already, but Jones is something of an unlikely name to see alongside him in the quarter-final draw.

The Welshman reached the same stage on debut last year, but has done little since then and had two tricky qualifying games just to get to the Crucible, before beating Zhang Anda and Si Jiahui on the big stage.

Trump, after seeing off Hossein Vafaei and Tom Ford, is hot favourite to progress, but knows that Jones is a hard man to beat, especially at the Crucible, it seems.

'Tough game. I've played Jak quite a few times in my career and there have been times he's played unbelievable against me, so I know it's in there,' said Trump.

'He seems to love this tournament as well, so it makes him a dangerous player.

'Maybe a bit more methodical than a lot of players, but that can be a hard to deal with in its own sense, because it can take a lot of patience.'

The 2019 world champion has beaten Vafaei 10-5 and Ford 13-7 but has not really hit the heights of his form just yet, knocking in just two centuries.

The 34-year-old is not concerned at all, knowing that he rarely performs at his best without a challenge and feeling like he can call upon his best stuff when required.

'I feel like it's hard to really play your best when you're not being pushed,' he said. 'There's not that buzz inside me or that pressure that I need to deliver now.

'So maybe the concentration just hasn't quite been what it would be normally. It's difficult when people are missing easy balls, it's important to just hammer home the lead I have and win as easily as possible.

'The important thing for me is that I feel like it's in there. A couple of times recently in the Worlds it hasn't been there so it was never going to come out. This year, if really needed, I could probably turn it on.'

Trump and Jones begin their quarter-final clash on Tuesday morning in Sheffield, meeting for the sixth time in all competitions as professionals, with Jones winning once before.

Harry Kane has sent records tumbling since his big money move to Bayern Munich from Tottenham last summer.

The England captain has bagged an astonishing 42 goals for the German giants in all competitions this season, with 35 of those coming in the Bundesliga, making this campaign Kane's most prolific in front of goal to date.

But despite his goalscoring heroics, Kane could remarkably finish the season empty-handed, with the league and cup having evaded Bayern meaning their Champions League semi-final clash with Real Madrid now takes on extra significance.

Let's take a look at all the records the former Tottenham man has broken this season with Bayern Munich.

Which records has Harry Kane broken this season?

Record Bundesliga and Bayern Munich signing – Bayern paid £100m for Kane's services, which could rise to £120m in add-ons, smashing the £68m which Bayern parted with to sign Lucas Hernandez from Atletico Madrid in 2019.

Kane has been in stunning form this season (Picture: Getty)

Bundesliga 22/23 Golden Boot tally surpassed – Kane took just 11 games to surpass the 16 goals scored by Christopher Nkunku and Niclas Fullkrug last season.

Fastest player to reach 20 Bundesliga goals– The benchmark was reached after just 15 games, breaking the record previously held by the legendary Uwe Seeler, who required 21 matches to reach the landmark in the 1963/64 season.

Top scoring Englishman in a single Bundesliga season – Jadon Sancho and Kevin Keegan held the previous record with 17 goals, for Borussia Dortmund in 2019/20 and for Hamburg in 1978/79 respectively. Kane required only 12 games to set the new record.

Most goals scored in a player's opening five Bayern league games – Mario Mandzukic, Miroslav Klose and Gerd Muller all scored five goals in their first five games, with Kane edging past that tally with seven strikes.

Most goals in first 10 Bundesliga appearances – Kane scored 15 goals in his first ten league outings. Only Klaus Matischak had scored at least 13 in a player's first ten Bundesliga appearances, with his goals arriving for Schalke in 1963/64.

Most goals in a single season of Kane's career – Surpassing the 41 he scored for Tottenham in 2017/18.

Most Bundesliga goals in a debut season – Uwe Seeler held the previous record with 30 goals scored for Hamburg in the inaugural Bundesliga campaign in 1963/64.

Top English goalscorer in the Bundesliga – Jadon Sancho is second on the list with 40 for Borussia Dortmund, whilst Tony Woodcock is third with 39 goals in 131 appearances across two spells with Cologne.

Fewest games needed to reach 30 Bundesliga goals – Kane needed just 25 matches to rack up goal number 30. For comparison, Erling Haaland needed 32 for Borussia Dortmund.

First player to score at least two goals in eight matches during his debut season – Kane (9) has beaten the previous record of seven matches managed by Friedhelm Konietzka in 1963/64 and then by Toni Polster in 1993/94.

Could Harry Kane beat Robert Lewandowski's record for the most goals ever in a Bundesliga season?

Robert Lewandowski broke Gerd Muller's long-standing record of 40 Bundesliga goals in a season with 41 for Bayern Munich in 2020/21.

Kane is currently seven goals away from claiming the ultimate record set by the Polish icon, but faces a race against time with only three league games remaining.

Arsenal star Jorginho is ready to put pen to paper on a new deal with the club.

Jorginho, 32, joined Arsenal from rivals Chelsea for a fee of around £12million in January 2023 and has gone on to make 51 appearances in all competitions for the north London giants.

The midfielder agreed to an 18-month contract on arrival at Arsenal, with the option of a further year.

There has been uncertainty surrounding Jorginho's future given that deal is due to expire at the end of the season and a return to Serie A has been mooted as a possible option in the summer transfer window.

However, according to The Athletic, Jorginho is expected to extend his stay – rather than leave on a free transfer – after being offered a new contract, which will come as a great relief to Mikel Arteta.

Jorginho is not a guaranteed starter for the Gunners but has established himself as a trusted member of the squad and Arteta has been keen for the vastly experienced Euro 2020 winner to commit to the club for the foreseeable future.

The report claims Thomas Partey's situation remains unclear, with the 30-year-old Ghana midfielder set to enter into the final year of his deal this summer.

Arsenal must decide whether to cash in on Partey while they have the chance or risk losing him on a free transfer in 12 months time.

Speaking to TV Play earlier this month, Jorginho's agent Joao Santos insisted his client was in 'no hurry' to decide his future and refused to rule out a summer switch to Italy.

'Did Arsenal call us for a renewal? No, right now they're focused on the Champions League return leg against Bayern Munich,' Santos said.

'We're in no hurry. If they were to call us in a month or two to discuss the renewal, that's fine with us.

'Would Jorginho like to return to Italy? Yes, of course because he grew up in Italy and he likes everything about the country.'

Arteta views Jorginho as the ideal role model for Arsenal's young stars (Picture: Getty)

Arteta has repeatedly sang Jorginho's praises since his arrival from Stamford Bridge, viewing the Champions League winner as the perfect role model for Arsenal's younger players.

'For all the kids at the club, if you want to look at somebody, just look at him,' the Arsenal manager said after the side's victory over title rivals Liverpool in February.

'He's won everything but you ask him not to play or play one minute last week he's happy to go there.

'Ask him to play 90 minutes at that rhythm and he's able to do that. I'm really lucky to have players like this.

'It's a game that I had in my mind. I was imagining how much we were going to need him. He's a really intelligent player, his biggest quality is that he makes the people around him better.

'He connects everybody. I think he was man of the match.'

Jofra Archer has been recalled to the England squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

The fast bowler, 29, has not featured for England in over a year due to a reoccurring elbow injury but has played club cricket in Barbados and turned out for Sussex in pre-season.

Before his injury issues began, Archer helped England win the 50-over World Cup, taking 20 wickets across the 2019 tournament and holding his nerve in a tense super over in the final against New Zealand.

England's 15-man provisional squad also includes Chris Jordan and uncapped spinner Tom Hartley, but two-time World Cup winner Chris Woakes misses out.

The same squad will face Pakistan in a four-match T20 series starting on May 22 before flying to the Caribbean at the end of the month ahead of their first T20 World Cup game against Scotland on June 4.

The eight members of the squad currently playing in the Indian Premier League will return for the beginning of the Pakistan series, the ECB have confirmed.

England are the T20 World Cup holders having lifted the trophy in 2022, but Jos Buttler's side crashed out of last year's 50-over World Cup before the knockout stages.

The England selectors and head coach Matthew Mott have until a May 25 deadline to update their squad.

Buttler will lead the side and has enjoyed a return to form at the IPL, scoring two unbeaten centuries for Rajasthan Royals.

England will look for batting firepower from the likes of Buttler, Harry Brook, Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow, who also hit an unbeaten ton in the IPL after being dropped by Punjab Kings.

Archer and Jordan are joined in the bowling ranks by Sam Curran, Mark Wood and Reece Topley, while Adil Rashid goes into the T20 World Cup as the No. 1 ranked bowler in the world.

England Test captain Ben Stokes, who steered the side to victory in the last T20 World Cup final, made himself unavailable for this tournament in order to focus on his fitness.

The T20 World Cup, which takes place in the West Indies and United States, begins on June 2 with co-hosts United States facing Canada at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas.

Discussing Archer's recall, England chief Rob Key said: 'Jofra is that bowler that is just so special that you do everything you can to get him back playing.

'We've taken the longer road this time but as always with Jofra it's fingers crossed until he's out there playing. Like when you're waiting for something really good to happen, you don't quite believe it until he's there, but he's tracking well at the moment.

'The next step is when he gets into that Pakistan series – it's going to be full-match intensity – and how he keeps going through there, but at the moment we're doing everything we can and he's in a good spot.'
