Tottenham Hotspur has completed the signing of midfielder Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United for £85 million, according to BBC reports. The Premier League club has acquired the midfielder from their London rivals in a substantial transfer deal as they aggressively strengthen their squad ahead of next season.

Spurs, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, are undergoing a major recruitment drive. The club previously spent £52 million to acquire defender Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, another Premier League club.

Beyond the Fernandes deal, Spurs have also secured three free agents: goalkeeper Martin Dubravka from Burnley, left-back Andy Robertson from Liverpool, and defender Marcos Senesi from Bournemouth.

With West Ham relegated to the Championship for next season, there is significant risk of player departures from the club. Fernandes had previously been linked with Manchester United, another Premier League side, but the Red Devils were unwilling to match the fee Spurs agreed to pay.

On the same day, Spurs confirmed they have extended Czech goalkeeper prospect Antonín Kinský's contract by an additional five years, despite his recent arrival at the club in 2025.

Iran's national football team has expressed gratitude to Tijuana, Mexico for their warm hospitality during the 2026 World Cup, calling Mexico their "second home" and a team they will support going forward. The Iranian team faced significant challenges before and during the tournament, including relocating their training base from Arizona to Tijuana and dealing with travel complications for their scheduled matches in the United States. Despite these obstacles, Iran's World Cup campaign ended at the group stage after drawing all three matches against Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand, earning just 3 points and finishing third in their group—not enough to advance to the knockout round. In a WhatsApp message, the Iranian national team stated: "True hospitality requires respect, compassion, and dignity. We will never forget Tijuana's kindness. From now on, Mexico will be more than just a host to us. This place will be our second home and the team we will cheer for."

A mother is devastated after her 12-year-old disabled son was attacked and beaten unconscious by three Grade 7 students at their school in Nong Han District, Udon Thani Province on the evening of June 23. The incident was captured on video and sparked outrage on social media. The boy, identified as "A" (pseudonym), suffers from a disability affecting his walking ability since birth and was knocked unconscious during the assault. When he regained consciousness, the three older students continued to surround and intimidate him.

The mother, Ms. Dao (pseudonym), 34, rushed back from Bangkok after learning of the attack. She described her son as disoriented and terrified, refusing to return to school due to fear of further violence and threats that the older students would harm his elderly grandparents. She expressed heartbreak over the incident, particularly because her son is disabled and vulnerable. When she requested CCTV footage from the school, officials claimed cameras were malfunctioning and unable to record. The school also pressured the grandmother to delete the viral video.

During a local mediation attempt, the attackers' parents demanded 30,000 baht per person in damages, with an additional 10,000 baht from whoever recorded the video. They later reduced this to 5,000 baht per person, but eventually only offered 1,000 baht each, which the family rejected. The mother appealed for understanding and called on the school to better protect students, expressing her belief that schools should be safe spaces. The grandmother also expressed her distress, noting she has never beaten or harmed her four grandchildren and questioned why the school appeared to be covering up the truth rather than pursuing justice.

Ko and Pichit Nara United, champions of Thailand's national Thai League 3, appear set to miss promotion to Thai League 2 for the upcoming 2026-27 season after their club licensing application faces potential rejection. Although the team earned automatic promotion rights as Thai League 3 national champions, the situation has become uncertain following indications that their club licensing approval may not go through. Should Nara United fail to obtain club licensing, promotion rights would fall to Mueang Loei United, the fourth-place finisher. If Mueang Loei also fails to secure licensing, the Thai League 2 promotion slot for the new season would go to Nakhon Sawan United, which finished as runner-up in Thai League 2 last season.

On June 30, 2569, rescue unit Huk 31 Yasothon received a report from Yasothon police station about a motorcycle and men's shoes found abandoned on the banks of the Chee River in Baan Kud Khong, Muang District, Yasothon Province. Police and rescue personnel posted appeals to find the motorcycle owner, and a caller identified himself as the owner but said his older brother had last ridden the bike on the afternoon of June 29 and had not returned. The younger brother requested a diving team to search for his brother.

Shortly after, relatives reported finding a body floating on the river near where the motorcycle and shoes were discovered. According to investigation, the deceased had confided to a friend about being defrauded of approximately 30,000 baht in a durian trading transaction. This left him unable to pay his debts despite borrowing money, and he reportedly decided to end his life due to accumulated stress and pressure from multiple financial problems.
