As Kylian Mbappe nears the end of his Paris Saint-Germain contract, plenty of Liverpool fans are looking at their club’s past interest in the Frenchman and thinking ‘maybe, just maybe’. Jurgen Klopp’s side are by no means the front-runners when it comes to the French international. Real Madrid were strongly interested in 2022, before PSG tied their star man down to a big-money extension, and remain in the running this time around. PSG themselves are not giving up either, reportedly making the 25-year-old a new offer as they aim to build a team around their younger talents. There was also…

After some time away from Merseyside, the squad are fresh and raring to go as their league campaign gets back underway at Bournemouth. The manager still has plenty to consider when it comes to his team selection, and after providing…

Regardless, the rumour mill has continued to churn despite the FFP/PSR chat, with Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, as is usually the case, key talking points.

Chelsea have added to their squad ahead of their next Premier League fixture – which is against Liverpool. The Blues languish just ninth in the table despite splashing out on more than £1 billion since a Toddy Boehly-led consortium purchased the club in May 2022. However, things have not improved on the pitch for Chelsea, who beat Liverpool to the signings of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia last summer for a combined fee of around £170 million. The Reds, meanwhile, sit at the summit of the Premier League table. In addition, the west London outfit’s finances are being investigated by…
Arsenal will be hoping Gabriel Martinelli’s impactful display off the bench against Crystal Palace can be the turning point in his 2023/2024 campaign. The Brazilian star was pivotal to the Gunners success last season with 15 goals and five assists from 36 Premier League games. However, he hasn’t been firing on all cylinders as of late. Before his brace against the Eagles, Martinelli hadn’t scored in eight games – the opener in Arsenal’s seven-goal thriller with Luton Town. His only other Premier League goal before that came during a dramatic 1-0 win over Manchester City all the way back in August…
