Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs impressed by Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis as he continues to stand out in front of watching scouts. Manchester United are also one of Luis’ admirers, according to journalist Graeme Bailey on the Talking Transfers podcast, with the reporter stating that Liverpool like the 24-year-old a lot. “A lot of people like Florentino Luis, Neves’ midfield partner at Benfica. Liverpool like him a lot and Manchester United have had a look as well, but everyone when they watch Benfica this is the guy standing out,” Bailey said. Luis certainly looks an impressive talent who could have an…
Liverpool are ready to trigger a €32 million release fee for one of Brazil’s brightest talents and strengthen in defensive midfield The Reds have looked solid this season and started well – though one interesting tactical nuance has been Alexis Mac Allister filling the defensive midfield role in Jurgen Klopp’s 4-3-3. The Argentine World Cup hero was presumably signed to play further forward but has been utilised deeper, with Trent Alexander-Arnold inverting from full-back to support. Plenty of fans have noted that this isn’t Mac Allister’s natural position, with the unexpected sale of Fabinho crowbarring the new signing in there.…
Liverpool FC have admitted their disappointment and frustration as they announced that the new upper tier of the Anfield Road Stand will not be complete in 2023. The news comes nine days ahead of the Merseyside derby at Anfield, which had been set as a target for the first game with 61,000 supporters in attendance. However, the main contractor, the Buckingham Group, going into administration in August has severely hampered the construction timeline. Liverpool have made the difficult and “frustrating” decision now in order to remove any uncertainty for supporters. With a trio of huge home games around Christmas –…
Mauricio Pochettino has just over a week on the training pitches at Cobham to conjure up a plan which sees Chelsea extend their winning streak against Arsenal after the international break. When the Blues boss isn’t hard at work he’ll be hiding behind his sofa hoping Mykhailo Mudryk return to west London unscathed! Chelsea have enjoyed a decent vein of form lately, picking up wins over Brighton, Fulham and Aston Villa. Cole Palmer, Raheem Sterling and Moises Caicedo have been standout performers, but Pochettino will need all of his players to be switched on just to stand a chance of beating the…
On loan Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku has vowed to spill the details of his Chelsea exit soon after leaving Stamford Bridge to AS Roma this summer. The Belgian striker has wasted little time in settling into life at Roma and has scored seven goals in his first seven games for the club. He has further stated that everyone will be shocked when they find out the details of his exit with Chelsea now willing to sell him for a cut price in the region of £37million next summer. Luakku has remained relatively quiet during all this but has started while on international duty that he is…
Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has failed to live up to expectations at Stamford Bridge, and journalist Dean Jones has discussed the prospect of him keeping his place in the side. The Spanish left-back is in Mauricio Pochettino’s team by default at the moment due to injuries and suspensions. Cucurella signed for Chelsea for a fee of £60m from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer, per Sky Sports. The 25-year-old performed exceptionally during his time at the Amex Stadium, but in his first season at Stamford Bridge, he was far from convincing. Despite joining the club just over a year ago,…
Cole Palmer’s £40m Deadline Day transfer to Chelsea, coming practically out of nowhere, was apparently seen as somewhat of a “punchline” by some, to the £1 billion joke of our transfer activities. And that makes for a good headline, but Chelsea’s opportunistic swoop for the 21-year-old who had just played a key role in Manchester City winning the UEFA Super Cup has proven to be a smart move indeed. Palmer has made an excellent start to life in London, almost instantly becoming essential to our attack and recently notching his first goal for us as well. He’s started three games,…
Liverpool have had some amazing attacking players over the years. The likes of Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are all fondly remembered at Anfield and get a lot of praise for their ability among the Liverpool fanbase. However, there’s another attacker from that era who has to also be considered a Premier League great – Raheem Sterling. The winger, of course, spent the first portion of his career at Liverpool, and while he isn’t necessarily a fan favourite on Merseyside these days, he has to be considered one of the better players to play at Anfield over…
At least it wasn’t the league. Liverpool Women got their first taste of defeat this season. After two straight wins accompanied by two straight clean sheets, the Reds fell 2-1 to Leicester City in the first game of the Continental Cup group stages. Liverpool conceded first against the home team off of a set piece in the 34th minute of the game. They didn’t go into the locker room trailing however. In injury time Natasha Flint got hold of a pass by Mia Enderby and after a touch to get control, slotted it passed the keeper. If they thought the…
Liverpool’s Joe Gomez has named Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling as one of his toughest ever opponents. Joe Gomez, who plays right-back or centre-back for Liverpool, has been discussing some of the best players he’s faced during his career. Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling, 28, has been mentioned as very difficult to come up against. We’ve seen the £50million (Daily Mail) Blues forward torment Premier League defences for a long time now, mainly at previous clubs Manchester City and Liveprool. When asked which opponent has given him the longest day, Gomez told Total Media: “[Leroy] Sane when he was at Manchester City, direct.…
