Barcelona are licking their wounds after missing out on another teenage talent in Lucas Bergvall. The 17-year-old Swedish talent elected to go to Tottenham Hotspur instead of the Blaugrana in the final hours of the transfer window, after Barcelona had been confident of sealing the deal. It unraveled in particularly painful fashion for the Catalans, less than a week after Xavi Hernandez had announced his resignation. Bergvall will earn more money at Spurs, as will Djurgardens, and he is expected to get more game time in the first-team in London early on too. There are a number of factors that took…

Barkley and the Monsters allegedly came inside less than $2 million in normal yearly esteem and ensured cash of coming to a multi-year bargain final season. There’s no telling at this point whether the Mammoths will be willing to offer Barkley a comparative multi-year bargain this time around. “I fair need something that’s reasonable, which makes sense,” Barkley said. “I think I was open and genuine around that final year, and I still adhere by that. But like I said, I get it’s a trade and in the event that it’s not here, ideally it’s a few other place.” The…

The league leaders suffered just their second loss of the league season after second-half finishes from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard at Emirates Stadium. The Reds had fallen behind first in the contest when Bukayo Saka scored after 17 minutes but drew level in first-half stoppage time courtesy of an own goal from Gabriel. Martinelli put the hosts back in front in the 67th minute as Trossard then wrapped up the win towards the end after the visitors were reduced to 10 men following the sending-off of Ibrahima Konate for a second bookable offence. Team news Trent Alexander-Arnold made his…

The Reds suffered just a second top-flight defeat of the season at Emirates Stadium – and the boss conceded his team could have few complaints about the outcome. Bukayo Saka put the Gunners ahead early on; however, Gabriel Magalhaes’ own goal sent the teams in level at the interval. Liverpool were improved after the break, but fell behind once more when Gabriel Martinelli capitalised on a defensive mix-up to roll in Arsenal’s second. Ibrahima Konate was sent off for a second booking as the contest edged towards its conclusion and Leandro Trossard grabbed a third for the hosts in stoppage…

The Reds suffered only their second Premier League loss of the season, going down 3-1 after a testing contest at Emirates Stadium. Van Dijk felt that the key moment came in the 67th minute, when a mix-up involving the captain and goalkeeper Alisson Becker allowed Gabriel Martinelli to give the Gunners what proved to be a decisive lead. Leandro Trossard went on to wrap up the points in stoppage time after Ibrahima Konate had been shown a second yellow card for Liverpool. Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Van Dijk stated: “Eventually [it was] a very tough day, definitely.…

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has taken full responsibility for his error against Arsenal during the 3-1 loss on Sunday. The defender was involved in a moment of confusion with goalkeeper Alisson Becker, which ultimately led to Mikel Arteta’s side regaining the lead. The Gunners were fired ahead in the 14th minute thanks to an early goal from Bukayo Saka after the ball fell to his feet following a saved effort from his teammate Kai Havertz. Arsenal looked as if they would build on this lead in the first half, only to see Luis Díaz’s poked effort deflect off Gabriel to level…

Jamie Carragher wasn’t happy with Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard’s actions after his team’s 3-1 win over Liverpool. He told Ødegaard to ‘get down the tunnel’ following his post-match celebrations. Liverpool had a tough day, with mistakes from Virgil van Dijk and goalkeeper Alisson Becker proving costly as they gave their Premier League rivals a much-needed victory. This was only the Reds second league defeat of the season— Mikel Arteta’s team was ready for the big match and caught Liverpool off guard. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scored for Arsenal, while an own-goal from Gabriel gave Liverpool a chance to get back in the game…

Jürgen Klopp admitted his Liverpool side deserved to lose against Arsenal after seeing their title hopes dented in North London. The German though was less than impressed with Ibrahima Konaté’s late sending-off. The Reds suffered just their second Premier League defeat of the season as they fell to a 3-1 loss in calamitous circumstances at the Emirates Stadium. Bukayo Saka had given the hosts the lead, only for Liverpool to draw level before the break thanks to Gabriel’s own goal. The visitor, though, would fall behind again in an even more bizarre fashion when a mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker…

The sight of Thiago Alcântara among this week’s pictures of Liverpool in training has helped create plenty of excitement among Liverpool fans. At last, the Spaniard could be about to return for real this time. He hasn’t played a single minute of competitive action this season but has been one of Liverpool’s standouts when fit. His return is only positive amid hopes of winning the quadruple. His contract situation isn’t so positive, though. Less than six months remain on his deal, which means teams from outside of the Premier League can already begin talks with him over signing him on…

Xabi Alonso’s high standards, adaptability and connection with Liverpool fans makes him a good successor for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, according to Cesc Fabregas. Alonso is the early frontrunner to be named as the next manager amid his excellent work at Bayer Leverkusen over the last 16 months. If appointed, he would be the first non-British former Reds player to land the position. Fellow Spaniard Fabregas – who won the 2010 World Cup alongside Alonso – says his ex-teammate has the right mentality to take the reins from Klopp, beyond simply his connection with fans. Speaking on the BBC Planet…
