The Uruguayan looked like the best striker in the league at times, but on other occasions, he looked like Bambi on ice. The South American is a player with bags of potential, and if Liverpool can find a way to smooth those rough edges, they will have a superstar on their hands. Speaking on TalkSPORT’s Premier League All Access Podcast, Scott Minto has been discussing Nunez ahead of next season, and he reckons he will be an absolute nightmare for Premier League defenders in this upcoming season. Nunez will be a pest “The strikers have always been there. I can…
That’s according to a recent report from Football Transfers, who claims Jurgen Klopp is already planning for Andy Robertson’s long-term successor. Estupinan, 25, enjoyed an excellent season with the Seagulls last time out. Following his £18 million move from Villarreal just over 12 months ago, Brighton’s well-rounded number 30 has shown all the signs of becoming a top Premier League left-back. Fans may be surprised to hear these reports; especially considering the Reds’ reliable number 26 started 26 Premier League games last season – the same number of domestic games he started the season before. Nevertheless, with Estupinan quickly emerging…
The latest offer that the Saints rejected at £46 million may be the last straw for the Reds with a new report suggesting Liverpool reignite their interest in Khephren Thuram. The Northern Echo reported in June that Nice value Thuram at £60 million so unless Liverpool believe the Frenchman has a higher ceiling than Lavia, it would be an odd decision to abandon negotiations with Southampton after three weeks when they are so close to reaching an agreement. That said, Thuram offers physicality where Lavia lacks but also ticks the same boxes that Liverpool will be very interested in. Should Liverpool sign Thuram?…

Liverpool FC have Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara back in full training, but neither will be involved at Chelsea for the season opener on Sunday. Both missed the entirety of this pre-season as they recovered from groin injuries that ended their 2022/23 seasons early. With Alexis Mac Allister also having recovered fully, from the knock on his knee, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has no fresh injury concerns for the weekend curtain raiser. However, there are still major roster concerns, and Anfield has a lot of work to do this summer transfer window. Captain Jordan Henderson, as well as Roberto Firmino, Naby…
The Bundesliga giants have been looking to sign a new number one all summer, with Yann Sommer having been offloaded to Inter and Manuel Neuer still not close to returning to action after breaking his leg in December. Bayern had made a play for David Raya but baulked at Brentford’s asking price, with the Spaniard now set to join Arsenal in a £30million deal instead. Thomas Tuchel’s prolonged search for a new goalkeeper has now led him back to a familiar face, with Germany’s Sport1 claiming the ex-Chelsea Initial talks have already taken place between the clubs with Tuchel having personally recommended his…

Oxlade-Chamberlain has a worrying injury history across his time at Arsenal and Liverpool. He missed 11 months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in his first season at Anfield. Knee, ankle and hamstring problems continued to disrupt his time at Liverpool, including last season.…
On Monday, Liverpool saw a third bid for midfielder Roméo Lavia, this time worth $59m (£45m/€52m), rejected by Southampton. The Championship club has maintained throughout that it wants $64m (£50m/€58m) for its exciting prospect, and it’s refusing to budge even as Liverpool creeps closer. For supporters, the delay is a source of growing frustration. It was on July 25 that Liverpool’s first bid became public knowledge, and on July 31 that former Reds number six Fabinho sealed a $52m (£40m/€46m) move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad. Any hope of Lavia being involved in the first Premier League game of…
