According to Ben Jacobs via GIVEMESPORT, Liverpool are keen on having Jamal Musiala in their ranks. The Merseyside club are keeping a close eye on the 20-year-old’s situation at Bayern Munich and they would surely push for his services if there is a possible opportunity. However, Jacobs feels Jurgen Klopp’s team might struggle with the finances that will be needed to land the German international at the club. Given the amount of interest in him and the kind of potential the 20-year-old has, the Merseyside club will have to break the bank to land him at the club. But, that…
When Rafa Benitez needed to sell Michael Owen within weeks of arriving at Anfield it left a sizeable void that needed filling. Enter one Milan Baros, signed by Liverpool two years earlier as an unknown quantity, the Czech star would produce his best goalscoring season in a Reds shirt en route to winning the Champions League. He remains one of only four Czech men to win the competition and, nearly two decades on from that iconic night in Istanbul, he’s still playing having turned 42 on Saturday. Baros is still turning out for amateur side FK Vigantice in his homeland…
Lille defender Leny Yoro continues to be linked with a move to the Premier League. The 17-year-old is regarded as one of the finest young talents in Ligue 1 right now and he has been linked with a number of European heavyweights in recent weeks. A report from Fichajes claims that Manchester United and Liverpool are keen on the player as well. Premier League rivals Chelsea were already keen on the player and they will now face competition from the two clubs. Meanwhile, Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are monitoring the 17-year-old defender as well. Yoro is a prodigious talent…
Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi has claimed that he’s ‘dreamed’ of playing for Liverpool at Anfield. Awoniyi has been a great player so far for Forest, scoring 13 Premier League goals since signing for £17m in 2022. Had things been different, the Nigerian could have been hitting the net for Liverpool. Having joining the Reds in 2015, work permit issues prevented him from ever playing for the club. Now, with Forest due at Anfield tomorrow, Awoniyi has been talking to liverpoolfc.com about his past dreams of playing for Liverpool. “It’s been a long journey!” says the 26-year-old, of his rise to being a…
Jurgen Klopp has credited Darwin Nunez with playing a part in the reshaping of Mo Salah as a footballer. The Uruguayan international (on a reported £140,000-a-week, according to Capology) has, in the German’s words, ‘changed Mo’s position definitely’, encouraging the creative reinvention of the Egyptian King of late. “The young Mo was a super fast player. From the first day he had to do different things, he adapted extremely well, but the playmaker in that role was probably Bobby [Firmino] setting things up,” the ex-Borussia Dortmund head coach spoke to reporters, as relayed by BBC Sport. “You don’t need two players…
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has been raving about Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven. Van de Ven has been excellent so far this season as Tottenham sit top of the Premier League table. The Dutchman played 90 minutes in their latest win, away at Crystal Palace last night. Speaking to Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou for Sky Sports after the game, Carragher claimed that Van de Ven was the best player on the pitch. “I had to give the Man of the Match and it was a toss up between [James] Maddison and Van de Ven at the back,” said the…
Taiwo Awoniyi has conceded that, while it was a “dream” to finally feature at Anfield last season, the circumstances left him feeling somewhat conflicted. Awoniyi never registered a senior appearance for the Reds due to various work permit issues during his time at the club, but has since gone on to become an established Premier League forward. The 26-year-old netted 11 times in all competitions for Nottingham Forest last season and already has three goals and two assists to his name in 2023/24, despite having been sidelined since the beginning of the month. His groin injury will prevent him from lining up against his former…
A penny for Moises Caicedo’s thoughts. At one point it looked like he would become Liverpool’s record signing this summer. Instead, the Ecuadorian and his agent toyed with the Reds, using their late interest to ensure his desired, drawn-out switch to Chelsea actually went through. In need of a new holding midfielder after Fabinho and Jordan Henderson’s unexpected moves to Saudi Arabia, Liverpool had an £111m bid accepted for Caceido by & Hove Albion and got us far as booking in a medical for the 21-year-old. But it soon became clear, despite calls with Jurgen Klopp, Stamford Bridge was his…
With Andy Robertson out for three months because of a dislocated shoulder, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is wary of overloading his understudy Kostas Tsimikas. Ahead of last weekend’s Merseyside derby, Klopp had already stressed that Tsimikas couldn’t play ‘all the games’ in the absence of the Scotsman. The Reds boss had already used the Europa League group stages as an opportunity to blood young players, handing Ben Doak a full debut in the opener against LASK before giving Jarell Quansah his first start in European competition on matchday two against Union SG. On Thursday, it was the turn of Luke…
Former Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has been sacked as Bristol Rovers boss just days after he described Steve Evans as ‘a fat man’. WHAT HAPPENED? Barton, 41, was relieved of his duties earlier this week, leaving Bristol Rovers 16th in League One after a disappointing start to the season. The news came just days after the former Man City man labelled Stevenage boss Steve Evans ‘a fat man’ after his side drew 1-1 with the Boro on Tuesday. WHAT THEY SAID: After a controversial end to the game, Barton didn’t mince his words as he reflected on Evans’s behaviour across the 90…
