Liverpool have reportedly shown some interest in the potential transfer of Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, though a deal is not expected to happen this January. That’s according to French outlet Le 10 Sport, who are not yet clear on how strong Liverpool’s interest in Ait-Nouri is, with no clear indication yet on whether or not they’ve made contact over the 22-year-old. Ait-Nouri has impressed during his time at Wolves and looks like he could be a decent long-term replacement for Andrew Robertson at Liverpool, though one imagines this won’t necessarily be seen as an urgent priority for the Reds that soon.…
Tottenham could be on the same path to success as Liverpool, according to Spurs legend Gary Mabbutt. The former defender claims his old club have signed their own Virgil van Dijk and Alisson to transform their fortunes. Tottenham had their best-ever 10-game start to a Premier League season. Ange Postecoglou’s side sat top of the table, clear of three-time back-to-back winners Manchester City. They have since lost two games in a row against Chelsea and Wolves, with suspension and injury playing a big part in both defeats. But there is still a huge sense of positivity around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since…
Last season, despite the prodigious chances created numbers he racked up and his clear influence when Liverpool had the ball, a common refrain when Darwin Nuñez’ name came up with manager Jürgen Klopp was defending. Defending from the front, setting the press, and being the first line in defence when the Reds don’t have the ball is key to a Klopp side—as shown through the years by Roberto Firmino. And while it wasn’t always clear to fans how Nuñez might be falling short on that front, it often seemed as though Klopp felt he was. Not so any more, it…
Brentford boss Thomas Frank was effusive in his praise for Liverpool star Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian scored his 11th and 12th goals of the season in the Reds’ 3-0 win over the Bees at Anfield. Salah’s second goal, a header that was barely celebrated thanks to recent events with VAR, was the 31-year-old’s 200th goal for an English club – 198 of them for Liverpool, two for Chelsea. “Exceptional, just an exceptional player,” said Jurgen Klopp, who almost on a weekly basis has to answer questions in his post-match press conference after Salah hits new records and milestones. Against Brentford, Salah…
The Reds signed off before the final international break of the year with a 3-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield. It was much-needed after frustrating results against both Luton and Toulouse, with Jurgen Klopp and his players now taking momentum into their clash with Man City. Before the trip to the Etihad, though, will be various qualifiers and friendlies around the world, with 18 first-team players called up. Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo are both in the Netherlands squad, which will see them come up against Caoimhin Kelleher‘s Republic of Ireland. Alisson will join up with Brazil, and will be No. 1 after Ederson…
Jurgen Klopp needs to sign a fresh player for the position and could swoop as early as January if a price can be agreed. Liverpool have been on the trail of under-20 cap Beraldo for months but have taken it to the next level with a face to face summit. Left sided Beraldo has been with Sao Paulo since he was a kid and has emerged as a first team regular recently. Liverpool could offer him a quick route into their side and the fact he can also qualify to play in Europe next year is also a plus. The Merseysiders want to…
These are the first pictures of the four men arrested over the abduction of Luis Diaz’s father. They face charges including kidnap and theft, with a court hearing due to take place later on Sunday in the northern Colombian city of Riohacha. Overnight it emerged one of the four men, Yerdinson Bolivar Bolivar who is said to use the alias ‘Arenca’ or ‘Areca’ was a trainer at Manuel Luis Diaz’s football school in his home town of Barrancas. Colombian authorities have accused him of seeking a job there so he could keep the Liverpool star’s father under surveillance as part of a ‘covert infiltration’…
On Thursday, Brazilian journalist Emmanuel Luiz reported that the Corinthians midfielder is on a list of three South American players Liverpool are considering. Andre Trindade and Federico Redondo are the other two but Chelsea are currently frontrunners to sign him. Fabrizio Romano reported on 31 August that Chelsea have already sent a “formal, official bid” worth €21 million (£18.4m) but the Italian has provided a fresh update on the situation, speaking on his YouTube channel on Saturday evening. Fabrizio Romano provides the low-down on interest in Gabriel Moscardo from Europe Romano reports: “Keep an eye on Gabriel Moscardo, talented midfielder playing for…
The Reds knew they were to be without Alexis Mac Allister (suspension), Curtis Jones (hamstring) and Ryan Gravenberch (knee) in the lead up to Sunday’s match, in addition to those on the long-term injury list. The absence of both Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate, however, was an unexpected surprise that leaves Liverpool’s bench with an average age of 20 – with only Luis Diaz not having played at academy level for the club. Both defenders were in the squad against Toulouse – Gomez played 90 minutes and Konate went unused – but were omitted from Sunday’s squad due to slight knocks, This Is Anfield understands. While the…
Jürgen Klopp has confirmed his Liverpool team to take on Brentford this afternoon at Anfield. The Reds will be looking to get back to winning ways after a week which saw them drop points in both the Premier League and Europa League. As expected, the Liverpool boss has made several changes to his side following the 3-2 defeat in Toulouse on Thursday. There are seven adjustments in total, with one or two surprise in the side. Kostas Tsimikas gets the nod over Joe Gomez at left-back, while Wataru Endō retains his place in midfield as he deputizes for the suspended…
