Raheem Sterling has been slammed as “one of the flops of the season” after breaking an early-season promise. The England winger signed for Arsenal late in the summer transfer window, joining in a season-long loan deal from Premier League rivals Chelsea. But he has failed to hit the heights expected of him so far. Sterling, 29, has made eight appearances for the Gunners – only two of which have been starts. His only goal contributions have come in the 5-1 win against League One side Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup. And ex- Premier League forward Stan Collymore believes he…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be under no illusions how important Saturday afternoon is for his team as they return to the Premier League. The Gunners host an impressive Nottingham Forest side this weekend where a victory is a necessity after slipping to nine points behind leaders Liverpool after just ten matches. If they wish to have any chance at all of challenging for the title this season they will need to win. However, should they continue their current form, any hope of winning the league could be gone by January. But, Arteta will certainly not be thinking like that…
Arsenal and Liverpool made serious efforts to sign the midfielder before he ended up at Chelsea in August 2023. The Ecuador international arrived in Europe for the first time when Brighton & Hove Albion signed him from Independiente del Valle in January 2021. His displays for the Seagulls saw Arsenal make an effort to sign him, months before he moved Chelsea. Chelsea initially wanted to sign him in January 2023, but Brighton weren’t interested. The Blues maintained their interest in the midfielder, and this helped them beat Liverpool to secure his services. Caicedo’s agent Manuel Sierra has been speaking to…
Eyebrows were raised across social media on Wednesday afternoon when it emerged that a huge billboard of Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold had been erected in the centre of Madrid. It comes at a time when the right-back is being routinely linked with a move to Real Madrid. Therefore the huge advertisement for fashion label Guess, featuring the Reds’ vice-captain, caused a stir across platforms X and Blue Sky when it was posted by influential Liverpool fan-media group, the Anfield Wrap. The giant advert, which features Alexander-Arnold and model Iris Law, was spotted in Madrid’s Felipe II Square and made its…
Late November and early December have been earmarked as a crucial period in the early stages of Liverpool’s season. Arne Slot’s side are gearing up for a gruesome run which features Real Madrid in the Champions League before Premier League showdowns with Manchester City and rivals Everton. The Reds sit at the summit of England’s top-flight after yet another international break and unlike previous stints, they have a five-point cushion. Succeeding Jurgen Klopp was always going to be a tough ask for Slot but so far, he has navigated his way through the challenges seamlessly. Before they face mammoth tests…
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has reflected on an ’emotional’ year with Hungary as they rounded off their 2024 international fixtures with a 1-1 draw against Germany. The 24-year-old scored in the ninth minute of second-half stoppage time to earn a point in their final game of their Nations League A campaign. Prior to Germany’s visit to Budapest, Hungary’s fate was all but sealed in third with a significant swing needed to gazump Holland, and Reds teammates Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo to move into second. Szoboszlai’s penalty earned a deserved point after Alexander Nubel’s goal was put…
Rayan Cherki’s future has become a hot topic in recent days with Lyon in hot water and Liverpool being touted as one possible destination. Those rumours have now intensified with word of contact being made emerging from France. Arne Slot got his Liverpool transfer record off to a slow start with £12.5m and £29m spent on Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili respectively. Now the boss, sporting director Richard Hughes and his recruitment team will be devising their next clever pieces of business to ensure the Reds maintain their place at the top of the table. One possibility that has arisen…
Dylan Horton was living his dream as a 23-year-old rookie defensive end for the Houston Texans when a call last October changed his life forever. “I remember getting the call,” Horton told “Good Morning America” in an interview with ABC News’ Will Reeve, which aired on Monday. “I’m trying to understand everything the information he was saying and I wanted to make sure my parents were on the call, too. … So we all took the information in and at the same time together.” That call informed Horton he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma, the most advanced…
The Houston Texans are getting ready to face off against the Dallas Cowboys in a Lone Star State showdown. That means finding a way to contain Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, one of the best defensive players in the NFL. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans spoke about the problems Parsons could pose. “Going against Dallas’ defense, Micah’s an exceptional player,” Ryans said. “He plays with a relentless motor. He moves all over the place. He aligns on the edge, in the A gap, he’s all over the place. And he’s all over the field. He’s an impact player for them, so we…
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has struggled as of late, and his efforts that have come up short have led to two consecutive losses for the team. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans spoke with Stroud earlier in the week and had a request from him in order to get his game back on track. “I’d like to see C.J. just go out and cut it loose,” Ryans said. “A lot – it’s been probably said about the miscues of what C.J. is doing, but C.J. has done a lot of great things for our team throughout this entire year. Full, complete…
