Adama Traore could be fit for Fulham’s trip to Liverpool on Sunday after overcoming a small setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury. The Spanish international will undergo a final assessment on Saturday to determine whether he can play at Anfield. After appearing off the bench in three of Fulham’s first four Premier League games of the season, Traore suffered a hamstring injury in a behind-closed-doors friendly match during the September international break. The 27-year-old winger returned to make a substitute appearance in the 3-1 defeat by Aston Villa on November 12, but then had a setback with his injury. Traore, who joined Fulham…
It has long been felt that Real Madrid would be Mbappe’s next destination, though some reports recently reported that the France international was no longer a priority target for them, with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland linked as an alternative, while Brazilian wonderkid Endrick is due to move to the Bernabeu for the start of next season. This has led to fresh transfer gossip about Mbappe’s situation, with the Premier League now being more seriously touted as a potential next destination for the 24-year-old. Going back a bit to the summer, the Independent already provided some insight into Mbappe’s thinking with regards to…
Liverpool’s team has been confirmed ahead of this evening’s Europa League clash against LASK at Anfield, with Jürgen Klopp once again ringing the changes. Despite making nine adjustments following the 1-1 draw with Manchester City at the weekend, Mohamed Salah is a somewhat surprise starter, with the Egyptian taking the captain’s armband. He starts alongside Luis Díaz and Cody Gakpo in a strong front three. As expected, Caoimhín Kelleher replaces the injured Alisson Becker in goal, with the Irishman now set for a run in the side. Kostas Tsimikas retains his place after starting at the Etihad, while Ibrahima Konaté, Joe Gomez and Jarell…
The Hungary captain was a signing that happened in speedy fashion for the Reds, with news of interest and then his signing all unfolding in a matter of days. Excitement started from there and only intensified as pre-season progressed and the season got underway, with the No. 8 just what we had all been crying out for in midfield. As starts to life at Anfield go, his has been brilliant. But Salah wants to temper expectations and alleviate the pressure on Szoboszlai, with Liverpool fans having been quick to sing his praises. “He’s had a really good start but I…
The speed at which Liverpool completed their surprise move for Dominik Szoboszlai in the summer was almost matched by the swift manner in which the midfielder began imposing himself at Anfield. Following a relatively subdued pre-season programme – not helped by a niggling injury that forced him out of one friendly – expectations were cautious at the start of the season for Szoboszlai, with Alexis Mac Allister having greater enthused with his summer outings. But Liverpool’s testing start to the campaign of a trip to Chelsea followed by being reduced to 10 men against both Bournemouth and Newcastle United provided a…
Tottenham are ready to rival Manchester United and Liverpool for the signing of Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo, with Spurs keen to bolster their backline in the January window. Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their search for a new striker however, as Timo Werner prepared to stay and fight for his place at RB Leipzig. Bayern Munich have cooled their interest in Raphael Varane as they do not believe they will be able to meet Manchester United’s demands. Real Madrid are considering signing Kepa Arrizabalaga on a permanent deal from Chelsea, with the Blues’ asking price set at…
Since 2017, shortly after becoming a regular in the Liverpool first team, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of the biggest faces in the world of Association (not American) Football for Under Armor. The Scouser has worn Under Armor boots essentially his entire senior team career, and has been featured in commercials around the world. For those looking closely as Liverpool took on Manchester City on Saturday, they could see something different about the playmaking right back. Rather than his typical Under Armor boots, he was wearing some fresh Adidas Predators with the full tongues. On Sunday, Alexander-Arnold released a video…
Alexander-Arnold secured a point for Liverpool with an equaliser in the 80th minute, choosing to celebrate his crucial goal by running over to a corner flag, putting his finger to his lips and making a shushing gesture towards the irate home support. Such actions would usually be punishable by a yellow card, but Alexander-Arnold got away without a caution in the moment and appears to also be free of any retrospective disciplinary action. Multiple reports in the aftermath suggest that no further action will be taken and the incident is not something that the FA are even investigating. The celebration was clearly…
The Aston Villa no.6 is starring at the heart of Unai Emery’s midfield and his performances are not going unnoticed with Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester vying for his signature, according to 90Min. Arsenal had three bids for Douglas Luiz rejected by Aston Villa in 2022 but City have rejoined the race after selling him in 2019. Liverpool “have also made it clear that they would be interested in pursuing Luiz if he chooses to leave Villa” but there are no indications a move is “on the cards”. TEAMtalk reports that it would cost a minimum of £80 million to sign Luiz. After beating Spurs…
Manchester United’s recruitment team is facing a dilemma as it looks to rectify an apparent transfer error made by manager Erik ten Hag. Despite spending over $215m (£170m/€197m) in the summer, the team’s current position of sixth in the Premier League suggests that further reinforcements are needed. One area of concern is the holding midfield position. It seems that Manchester United will be dipping into the transfer market again in January to find a suitable replacement for Sofyan Amrabat. A 27-year-old Moroccan international, Amrabat was signed on a season-long loan from Fiorentina on deadline day, amid reported interest from Liverpool (per Dutch…
