Tottenham and Newcastle are reportedly set for a late transfer window battle for PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko. The Premier League duo are apparently eyeing a move for the winger that could come down to Friday’s transfer deadline. Bakayoko has caught the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs with his performances in Holland. The 20-year-old scored nine goals and provided six assists in all competitions last season. He already has four assists this term, with each coming in just three Champions League qualifying matches. Spurs and Newcastle are reportedly interested in striking a deal with PSV over the next…
Eddie Howe admits his latest defeat to Jurgen Klopp was as “painful” as Newcastle United’s loss at Liverpool last season. Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score twice late and wipe out Anthony Gordon’s first-half opener in a dramatic 2-1 Premier League victory for the 10-man Reds at St James’ Park on Sunday afternoon. It echoed Newcastle’s defeat at Liverpool almost 12 months previously when they conceded an injury-time goal to lose by the same scoreline having taken the lead. And Howe – who has now lost 11 successive games against Klopp – said: “Absolutely that is as painful…
Liverpool have been urged to move for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo if Mohamed Salah does complete a late move to Saudi Arabia. The Egyptian forward has been linked with a big-money transfer to Al-Ittihad that could leave the Reds short, potentially forcing them into the market as they look to replace Salah. Liverpool already have Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez competing for spots in the front three, but all prefer to play either centrally or on the left wing – with youngster Ben Doak the preferred option when Salah has been rotated out of the team.…
The No.9 came off the bench and scored twice late on in the second half to see the Reds overcome Anthony Gordon’s 25th-minute opener and then the sending-off of Virgil van Dijk. Nunez was satisfied with his own contribution in the game but wanted to deflect the post-match attention towards his teammates for battling so hard when down a player. Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, the striker said: “I feel very good. Very happy for the team, for the dedication of my teammates. They fought very well after the red card, which [meant] we had to play with 10 players.…
The No.9 came off the bench to net twice late in the second half at St. James’ Park and help the Reds overcome Anthony Gordon’s opener and the dismissal of Virgil van Dijk. He subsequently topped our poll in Match Centre after the game to take the Player of the Match accolade.
The Reds battled back from Anthony Gordon’s opener and then the sending-off of Virgil van Dijk in the first half to leave St. James’ Park with all three points. Darwin Nunez stepped off the bench and scored in the 81st and 93rd minutes, giving Jürgen Klopp’s side and supporters a memorable 2-1 win in the north east. Read on for the post-match thoughts of Alexander-Arnold and Alisson from their interview with Sky Sports… Trent Alexander-Arnold “It’s unbelievable, to be honest. It was something very special out there today. “You come here with a game plan, you want to dictate possession,…
Jürgen Klopp said he had never experienced anything like Liverpool’s ‘super-special’ 2-1 win over Newcastle United at St James’ Park, achieved thanks to Darwin Nunez’s late double and despite Virgil van Dijk being sent off in the first half. Nunez buried an unstoppable equaliser soon after coming on as a late substitute and then displayed ice-cool composure to notch again in the third minute of stoppage time as the Reds, shorn of their captain following his 28th-minute dismissal, came from behind to claim victory in hugely dramatic fashion. Anthony Gordon had given Newcastle the lead midway through the first period,…
“The answer would be no,” Jürgen Klopp declared in his press conference this week when asked about speculation regarding Mohamed Salah’s future this summer. The Egyptian, like most elite players in European football, is on the radar of Saudi Arabian clubs, but Liverpool has made the club’s stance clear. As Fabrizio Romano reported, Al-Ittihad is interested in Salah this summer, and while Liverpool has made it clear he is not for sale, in this market you just never know. Sometimes the sums of money involved become tempting. After all, Liverpool probably did not expect to lose Fabinho or Jordan Henderson…
From the moment Dominik Szoboszlai decided to don the number eight jersey for Liverpool, the comparisons were always going to come. The number, despite having been worn by Naby Keïta in the last few years, is synonymous at Anfield with only one man in Steven Gerrard. Wearing the number eight therefore comes with a lot of expectations, but Szoboszlai has so far not shied away from those pressures. If anything he has lived up to the billing and had endeared himself to supporters all the more for his efforts. Last week, Liverpool.com managed to sit down with his international Marco…
It’s not often you see a red card within the first 20 minutes of a match. It’s even less common for it to be shown for two rapid-fire bookable offences. Yet that’s what I saw unfold on my trip to watch Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga last season. Admittedly, I was there primarily to watch Jude Bellingham — back in those heady days when Liverpool looked favorite to sign him. And while he undoubtedly caught the eye, he was not the only impressive player on the day. Right over on my side of the pitch at the Westfalenstadion, another player…
