Jannik Sinner just completed one of the most dominant seasons in men’s tennis history. The Italian superstar finished the year with a record of 69-6 with eight singles titles (including two Grand Slams and the ATP Finals). The 22-year-old compiled a long list of accomplishments and broken records this year. Before he could even dry off from sweat and champagne following his victory over Taylor Fritz, reporters at the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, were eager to gain insight about Sinner’s goals for next year. When asked what he wanted to achieve next season and what parts of his game…
Liverpool are looking to break their transfer policy and deliver Arne Slot what he needs. Is that worth £70m, though? Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Liverpool are eyeing up Marcus Thuram. They actually go into a bit of detail, in fact. Liverpool, you see, liked Thuram while Jurgen Klopp was in charge and tried to grab him. That fondness has only grown under Arne Slot, however. While Thuram was a player they thought could succeed under Klopp, they really feel he’d work under Slot. And that’s driving their interest right now. But it’s an interesting one. Liverpool don’t typically sign…
The 24-year-old Brazilian has undoubtedly been a failed transfer for United up until now, having joined the Red Devils from Ajax for an eye-watering £82million in 2022. With Erik ten Hag, the manager who signed him, now no longer at the helm, Antony’s future at Old Trafford is in doubt. It marks a fall from grace for a player who was one of Europe’s most sought-after talents just three seasons ago. During the 2021/22 campaign, the 24-year-old’s skills and eye for goal made him a top target for clubs like United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, and PSG. United ultimately secured his…
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez was taken off at half-time as Uruguay picked up a valuable point in World Cup qualifying in Salvador, Brazil. Federico Valverde opened the scoring before Gerson equalized seven minutes later. By that point in the game, though, Nunez had been replaced by Rodrigo Aguirre with the Reds man having been ineffectual. And in the Uruguayan media, there was no reason to believe that there was an injury; this was, it said, only a tactical change. El Observador rated Nunez’s performance at a five out of ten. Although it noted that the Liverpool striker worked hard defensively,…
With his booming laugh and big bear hugs, Jurgen Klopp is one of the best man-managers in world football. But the former Liverpool boss had a clear ruthless side, as former Reds opened up on their Anfield exits. It started with captain Jordan Henderson, who completed a controversial £12m move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq last summer. In an interview with The Athletic, he revealed how he had felt unwanted by both the German and the club as he decided to leave for pastures new. “There were a few things that sent alarm bells ringing,” he revealed. “I’ve got…
Liverpool players are slowly starting to reconvene back at the AXA Training Centre following a busy international break. The Reds saw 15 first-team players head off to feature for their countries ahead of what is set to be a crucial period for Arne Slot’s team. Tuesday was a first day back at the Liverpool training ground for those players not involved as the Reds gear up to play Southampton on Sunday. While many of those in training were youngsters from the Liverpool academy, there were still a handful of more senior stars on show in Kirkby. Mohamed Salah and Joe…
You won’t believe which Liverpool flop is outshining Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal in a key area. It’s none other than Iago Aspas, who left the Reds in 2015. Aspas had a forgettable stint at Anfield, starting just five Premier League matches and failing to make an impact. However, he’s been a different player since returning to Celta Vigo. Aspas is now 37, but he’s still producing remarkable numbers. He’s ranked among the top 8% of positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for assists, and he’s in the top 1% for passes attempted and progressive…
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola chose to delay signing a contract extension at the club until he had convinced himself it was the right decision for his career. Liverpool’s title rivals City have been left hanging in the balance in recent months while their manager decided upon his future. Guardiola’s current deal in Manchester is due to expire at the end of this season and it was unclear whether he would commit to a new contract or not. It had been suggested that Txiki Begiristain’s impending departure from the Etihad Stadium was leading the Catalonian to consider long and hard…
Liverpool broke the English transfer record when they signed Stan Collymore from Nottingham Forest in an £8.5m deal in the summer of 1995. While he would retain the Reds’ mantle for a further five years, until the £11m capture of Emile Heskey from Leicester City in March 2000, Alan Shearer broke the Premier League record when signing for Newcastle United in a £15m swoop 12 months after the striker’s own Anfield arrival. Such a figure admittedly looks rather paltry now, nearly 30 years on, when it comes to Liverpool’s most expensive signings. Darwin Nunez leads the way in a deal…
In July 2023, the football world was left astounded when the captain, who hoisted eight key trophies for the Reds, announced his departure from the club, fueled by feelings of not being appreciated within the club. Henderson’s Arabian sojourn was short-lived, with a contract dissolution just six months later and an ensuing switch to Dutch titans Ajax. In an enlightening revelation made in November 2023 about his rapport with Liverpool, Henderson declared that despite there being no fall-out with Klopp, he sensed his presence was no longer keenly felt among the coaching staff. The former Liverpool lynchpin iterated the transparency…
