The Times leads on its joint investigation with BBC Panorama, into the football boss David Sullivan. The paper says many of the women who came forward said the 77-year-old was known for his "casting couch behaviour". The claims present a serious test for the new Independent Football Regulator, the Times notes. David Sullivan has categorically denied all of the allegations against him.

The Guardian leads on its interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky - in which he criticises the decision by some Reform UK-led councils, to replace Ukrainian flags with British ones. The paper says it's a "rare foray" for Ukraine's leader into UK politics. Zelensky also reveals that he's planning to invite the King on a state visit to Ukraine, possibly later this year.

The i Paper reports that a hidden camera has been found behind a ceiling panel, in the government building where the Home Office and Housing Department are based - raising concerns about spying. It's understood the device was in the Housing, Communities and Local Government part of the building and not near ministerial offices. A government spokesperson has told the BBC it won't be commenting on security matters.

The front page of the Daily Mail poses the question, "Is university a waste of money?". A report from the right-leaning Policy Exchange think tank has, according to the paper, found that half of graduates earn less than the median national wage - about £35,000 - within five years of leaving university. The Mail says it's the latest evidence of a collapse in the so-called university premium.
