It was just a little after 05:00 on Monday morning that multiple shots were fired outside the “Le Kin’s” nightclub establishment, located in the “zone Thibaud.” 26-year-old Christopher Aurier would not survive the attempt made on his life, with the individual who committed this atrocity managing to escape down the road. The Tottenham Hotspur full-back’s brother was wounded in the abdomen, but managed to make it some way down the street before collapsing. A member of the public attempted to administer CPR on the victim before emergency services made it to the scene. The young man was then transported in…
As reported by our colleagues at Sports Zone, one of their targets is ex-RC Lens and Malian international defensive midfield talent Cheick Doucouré, who is currently plying his trade with fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace, having joined them just last summer for approximately €30m. Liverpool have formally sent Doucouré a contract offer in an attempt to find a provisional agreement with him before making a formal bid to his London-based side. The intention on the part of the Reds is to sign another number six before the window shuts, and whilst Doucouré is an active target, LFC are understood…
The Liverpool captain received a straight red for fouling Alexander Isak on the edge of the box in the first half of Sunday’ encounter at St. James’ Park. After being shown the red, Van Dijk could be seen angrily remonstrating with match official John Brooks and took some time to leave the field. He also appeared to have words with the fourth official as he headed down the tunnel. Despite Van Dijk’s dismissal, Liverpool pulled off an impressive comeback, winning 2-1 thanks to a Darwin Nuñez brace. Van Dijk had been expected to serve a one-match ban for his red…
Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk has been charged with improper conduct and could see his one-game suspension extended following his red card against Newcastle on Sunday. Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score twice as Liverpool snatched a sensational 2-1 Premier League win at St James’ Park, with the visitors bouncing back from a straight red card in the first half for Van Dijk. The Liverpool captain was sent off when referee John Brooks dismissed him for fouling Alexander Isak on the edge of the box, and the VAR backed his on-field decision. It led to a delayed restart with…
Chelsea have been linked with a move for Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho as they look to restock their attacking midfield options following injuries to Christopher Nkunku and Carney Chukwuemeka. As the Blues also prepare to welcome an offer from the Red Devils for left-back Marc Cucurella, social media reports suggest that Sancho could yet be heading in the opposite direction. As a player with Premier League experience and of the desired age for new signings, Sancho is someone that would make sense in a lot of areas for Chelsea. However, his diminishing returns at Old Trafford do pose major…
Earlier this month, Liverpool appeared set to sign Caicedo from Brighton in a British record deal worth as much as £111 million. The bid seemingly came out of the blue, with the club previously pursuing Romeo Lavia, but it ultimately unravelled as the midfielder opted for Chelsea. Caicedo declined a medical on Merseyside and informed Jurgen Klopp of his desire to move to London instead, joining Chelsea for £115 million. After that, Lavia followed suit in swapping Southampton for Chelsea despite Liverpool’s renewed pursuit, with Wataru Endo then brought to Anfield instead. From a £111 million bid for Caicedo to a £16 million deal for…
There have only been three rounds of fixtures in this season’s Premier League so far, but there has been no shortage of controversy. Much of that, sadly, has been involving the officials, with both referees and VAR attracting criticism for bizarre decisions. In Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Newcastle, for example, Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to narrowly avoid a red card for an obstruction of Anthony Gordon after being booked minutes earlier for throwing the ball back onto the pitch. Referee John Brooks overlooked a heavy shove from Gordon on Alexander-Arnold before showing the right-back a yellow card for a minor issue. This comes…
