Billionaire aristocrat Hugh Grosvenor and his wife Olivia, who married last year, have welcomed a baby girl born in London on Sunday, named Cosima Florence Grosvenor. “The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are thrilled to announce the birth of their baby daughter,” a spokesperson for the couple said.

Newcastle are reportedly preparing a huge contract proposal as they consider their options in the wake of Alexander Isak’s explosive transfer demand. The Swede has sat out of the Magpies’ pre-season tour to Asia after asking to leave the club, having asked for his wages to be bolstered to £300,000 a week.

Eddie Howe has admitted Newcastle have a decision to make on Alexander Isak's future but reiterated his hope that the striker will stay at the club this season.
