According to French outlet Le10Sport, the Reds are “advancing in talks” to acquire his services. But he won’t…
It’s been a great start to 2024 so far for Liverpool. Not only are the Reds flying high at the top of the Premier League, but they are still in the running for four trophies this season.

The Reds can take another big step towards a trophy when they face Fulham in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday. At this stage, it would certainly be fair to deem Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool 2.0, as…

Alan Shearer would lead you to believe Klopp’s side were lucky not to be “four or five” down at the break, while Mikel Arteta was adamant his side “deserved to win.” What that discounts is the shrewd management from…
