The young Spaniard seemed to come from nowhere when he broke into Liverpool’s first team last season. In Liverpool’s academy, he had progressed well since joining from Celta Vigo’s youth team in 2021. However, his rapid ascent to Jurgen Klopp‘s starting XI even caught those familiar with Bajcetic off guard. He has always been technically excellent, but it was his tackling attributes that arguably surprised most when he played for the first team. His brilliant awareness, combined with bite in the tackle, meant that he was fast becoming one of Klopp’s go-to midfielders as senior players’ declines were thrust into the…

While all the talk has been of rebuilding Liverpool’s midfield in recent months, there is one illustrious member of that department who has been conspicuous only by his absence. As the most decorated member of the entire Reds squad, it feels strange to consider Thiago Alcantara as something of a forgotten man, but he is yet to be seen outside the confines of the club’s training ground during the opening month of the new Premier League season. If Thiago and his ongoing recovery from surgery has led to him becoming the afterthought of a much-discussed midfield, his imminent return will…

They claim that Lokonga – who joined Arsenal for £17m in 2021 – has been ‘offered’ to the Reds by his representatives. However, it appears that Liverpool aren’t especially interested in taking them up on that. It’s claimed that the Reds have no plans to seal…
Three years ago, Jürgen Klopp did what no Liverpool boss had been able to do for 30 years by delivering the Premier League title to Anfield. After years of working under the German coach, the Reds dominated England’s top flight and ended up winning the competition by a comfortable total of 18 points.
