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…
Gravenberch, 21, is a player both Liverpool and Man Utd are converging on. Indeed, Fabrizio Romano recently reported both English heavyweights had asked to be informed of any developments in Munich over the final stages of the summer window. The Netherlands international was a €23m (including future add-ons) aligning from Ajax last summer. However, Gravenberch has endured a torrid time in Bavaria thus far. Gravenberch racked up just 937 minutes of action across all competitions in his debut season. According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Gravenberch is no higher than fourth choice in midfield at present – behind Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka…
Carvalho’s season-long loan move to Leipzig came on the back of Dominik Szoboszlai‘s switch in the opposite direction, and he was expected to take his spot. But it has been a slow start for the Portuguese, with another temporary signing, Xavi Simons, preferred alongside Dani Olmo in the two attacking midfield roles. Manager Marco Rose turned to Carvalho off the bench in 3-0 win over Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup and the 3-2 loss to Bayer Leverkusen which kicked off the Bundesliga campaign. During Friday’s 5-1 thrashing of Stuttgart, however, the 20-year-old was overlooked entirely. It was a late flurry…
Hello and welcome to our LIVE Liverpool transfer blog for Tuesday, August 29. There still remains lots to unpack from Liverpool’s emphatic victory over Newcastle on Sunday, plus the final days of the transfer market has sent the Reds rumour mill in a spin. Arthur Theate has been previously linked to reinforce Jurgen Klopp’s defensive ranks with a new plan emerging. Mohamed Salah’s long-term future on Merseyside remains in question and Joe Gomez is the latest Red to be linked with a multi-million switch to Saudi Arabia. Joe Gomez wanted Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has been linked with a move…
A lot has changed at Liverpool this summer and in an ideal world, more transfers would arrive before Friday’s deadline, which continues to tick ever closer. On the pitch, Liverpool has shown more than enough positive signs for Jürgen Klopp to be pleased with. It didn’t look like that in the first 20 minutes against Newcastle United but Darwin Núñez then turned the match around. Off it, just a couple more additions to the Reds’ squad could make for a team that really challenges Manchester City at the top of the table, with Pep Guardiola’s men already setting the early…
People “like Bruno Fernandes and Andy Robertson” are to thank for the new hardline stance of refereeing in the Premier League, says TalkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan. Supporters have been given a taste of what is to come in the opening weeks of the 2023/24 campaign to mixed responses. Officials are cracking down on behaviour such as arguing with decisions, crowding the referee and time-wasting amongst others, with yellow cards and time added on after 90 minutes the punishments for offenders. There has also been nine red cards handed out in the Premier League so far this season, which after game…
