Liverpool are closing in on their third signing of the summer as VfB Stuttgart midfielder Wataru Endo edges closer. The 30-year-old is believed to have taken his medical on Thursday ahead of his Premier League switch as he looks set to join Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in the midfield. In the last seven days, Liverpool have had a British record bid for Moises Caicedo accepted, engaged in a transfer saga with Chelsea, lost out on the former Brighton man’s signature – and made their move for Endo. Interest in Endo emerged out of the blue, yet he has…
The Paris Saint-Germain star enjoyed a great season, scoring 41 goals and providing 10 assists for the French giants, as well as reaching the World Cup final with France – where he scored a hat-trick. Unfortunately for him it wasn’t enough to reach the final top three nominees for UEFA’s top award Lionel Messi made the cut after scoring 30 goals and providing 21 assists in all competitions for PSG last term, while also inspiring Argentina to World Cup glory before heading to Inter Miami. Manchester City provided the two other finalists, with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne rounding off the trio of nominees…
The Gunners will now play Manchester City October 8 at the Emirates Stadium. It is the first league meeting between last season’s top two. Earlier this month, Arsenal saw off City on penalties to win the Community Shield. Two weeks later, Mikel Arteta’s men head to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. While that game will still take place on Saturday, October 21, it will now kick off at the later time of 5.30pm. The TV amendments have now been completed for all of October’s matches in the Premier League, however as always fixtures are still subject to change.
Liverpool’s journey in the 2023/24 Europa League is slowly taking form as teams continue to qualify for the tournament. With half of the 32 group stage spots already filled, there are still 16 places up for grabs before the action kicks off next month. The final qualification round will determine the ten additional teams that will progress, with the remaining six coming from the losers of the final Champions League play-off round. Liverpool, along with Brighton, secured its place in this season’s Europa League based on its performance in the Premier League last term, having finished fifth. West Ham United…
Pride comes before a fall, or so the saying goes. Chelsea hasn’t fallen anywhere just yet, but Liverpool could be forgiven for looking on with a degree of schadenfreude as things start to go south at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea won not one but two transfer races against Liverpool over the last week, somewhat gratuitously agreeing deals for both Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia for the number six position. This represented an exorbitant outlay for Todd Boehly’s side, which has now made a tough decision amid a ‘battle’ to get inside Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. And that’s only the tip…
Liverpool are closing in on their third signing of the summer window as Jurgen Klopp’s spending creeps over £110 million. The Reds have attempted to bolster their midfield with the signing of Wataru Endo from Stuttgart and he could well be drafted straight into the Reds’ starting XI. Klopp has been on the hunt for a natural defensive midfielder following the surprise exits of both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. It’s unlikely Liverpool’s business will stop there. Regardless, with a couple of weeks to go until the end of the transfer window and with Klopp finally filling a major gap in his…
Liverpool have offloaded a world class defensive midfielder in the form of Fabinho this summer. The Brazilian international was our main play breaker under Jurgen Klopp and without him, we would not have won the lot. To replace the Samba star, the Merseysiders must sign a top class holding midfield star, who is at the peak of his game. Therefore, 30-year-old Endo would not be enough to solve the conundrum. If reports in the media are anything to go by then Liverpool are closing in to hire the services of Fiorentina star, Sofyan Amrabat. Earlier in the day, we covered…
Jürgen Klopp has reportedly held talks with Sofyan Amrabat in a bid to convince the Fiorentina midfielder to join Liverpool instead of Manchester United. The Morocco international — who starred at the World Cup in Qatar — has attracted interest from both Premier League clubs but Klopp is seemingly determined to outmaneuver his competitors in the transfer market. Amrabat’s agent, Mahmoud El Boustati, confirmed that multiple sides are vying for the midfielder’s services this summer. Speaking to Voetbal Primeur, he explained: “Quite a few clubs are interested in Sofyan. It is now a matter of making the right choice. He…
Fulham are now advancing in their interest to sign Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun and have set their maximum price they’d be prepared to pay. That’s according to a report in the MailOnline which outlines that the club would not be willing to pay anymore than £35m.. The same report states that Arsenal are holding out for £45m for Balogun, a slight reduction on their initial £50m price tag earlier this summer. However, with a gap in valuations between the clubs remaining, it’ll be interesting to see if either party will compromise. Arsenal seemingly would be prepared to sell Balogun to Fulham this summer, but only at the right price. Fulham…
Liverpool looks to be closing in on its third signing of the summer, but the work is still far from done. Having missed out on both Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia in recent days, the Reds have now turned their attention to Stuttgart midfielder Wataru Endo, and a deal looks as though it could be imminent. According to The Athletic, the Japan international is undergoing his medical today, with a deal in the region of $20m (£16m/€19m) set to be completed. At 30 though, Endo won’t be a long-term option for Liverpool, and Jürgen Klopp will have to look for…
