Arne Slot simply couldn’t resist. When probed about his team’s next opponents, the Liverpool head coach swiftly pointed to a major reason Bournemouth are more than holding their own in the Premier League. “They have a lot of individual quality, the manager did a great job there but I think the sporting director who worked there for so many years did a very good job as well,” says Slot. “Maybe because of that, Liverpool took him from them as he brought in some really good and talented players.” The person in question, of course, is Richard Hughes, who Slot reveals…
Liverpool are assessing the fitness of Alisson Becker ahead of this weekend’s fixture with AFC Bournemouth at Anfield. Arne Slot revealed the goalkeeper missed Thursday’s training session and his condition will be checked by the club’s medical team to determine whether he can participate in Friday’s workout. The head coach told his pre-match press conference: “Alisson is still a doubt if he can train today, so let’s wait [to see] if he can train. “Then, if he can’t then he will probably not play as well, so we have to wait and see. “Apart from Harvey Elliott, [there are no…
The prodigy, kingpin of the ATP Tour who conquered the US Open just weeks ago, takes on a new role off the courts: Ambassador of Team26. His story, typified by the mountains, makes him the perfect figurehead for the volunteers who will make the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympic Games possible. Sinner’s rise to the tennis Olympus shows no signs of slowing down. After claiming the title in Flushing Meadows earlier in September and fiercely defending his position as world number one, the Italian has decided to go beyond the courts. Now, not only does he shine with a racket in hand,…
Emma Raducanu has edged closer to a return to the world’s top 50 after reaching the quarter-finals of the Korea Open. The British tennis star fired down 11 aces past eighth seed Yuan Yue in a 6-4, 6-3 victory to progress into the final eight in Seoul. It is an impressive resurgence from the 21-year-old on the back of her crushing first round exit at the US Open. Raducanu was bundled out of Flushing Meadows by Sofia Kenin and delivered a teary press conference in which she said she should have played ‘a little bit more’ going into the tournament.…
Great Britain’s Emma Raducanu moved through to the quarter-finals at the Korea Open by beating China’s Yue Yuan in straight sets. Raducanu, 21, seized control of the match by winning six successive games to wrap up the opening set and then take charge of the second. The 2021 US Open champion, ranked 70th in the world, eventually took her seventh match point to win 6-4 6-3 and reach the last eight in Seoul. Raducanu will play Daria Kasatkina on Saturday, with the semi-finals also taking place later that day because rain postponed play on Friday. Russian top seed Kasatkina, the…
It has got to the stage where people are having to debate exactly why Everton fans are booing. When Sean Dyche turned to his bench during the Carabao Cup defeat by Southampton, the echo of disdain was aimed at the manager. Whether it was over the removal of the lone striker Beto when there was a match to be won or bringing on Ashley Young is uncertain. The truth is somewhere in between but the key detail is that there is unrest at Goodison Park. Everton exited the Carabao Cup meekly on Tuesday, adding to a miserable Premier League start…
John Textor’s biggest asset as prospective Everton owner, or Daniel Friedkin who perhaps bought some of the debt in discussions about buying Everton, is that they aren’t Farhad Moshiri. You aren’t going to get much worse than what Everton have currently got. With due respect to Moshiri given he’s had more money in his life than I have, I think he is the Dean of Clown College turning a very decent football club with great heritage into an absolute car crash. It’s nothing to do with how the football world is regulated, more to do with him being a very…
Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez has not been named in the starting eleven for a competitive match by head coach Arne Slot so far this campaign. Many felt the Champions League fixture against AC Milan would have been a good opportunity to throw the Uruguayan international into the mix but Slot kept faith with Diogo Jota. With so many fixtures being played in such a short period of time, rotation will be needed at some point and plenty of fans on X think the game against Bournemouth this weekend could be the right moment to start Nunez: Jota fluffed his lines…
Trent Alexander-Arnold is a Liverpool superstar. 101 goal contributions in 315 games for a full-back is quite astonishing and sometimes, it’s quite easy to understate what the English international star actually brings to the table. At 25, he is already the club’s vice-captain and one of the team’s most important players. However, Liverpool are facing a critical issue with the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold whose deal expires in 2025. As per Team Talk, Liverpool are willing to make Trent one of their highest-paid players after the 25-year-old has already rejected one contract offer from the club. The Reds want to…
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is looking to take over Ligue 1 club Nantes in a surprise move, according to reports in France. The England international has been linked with a move away from Anfield in the summer with his contract up at the end of the season. There has been speculation that La Liga giants Real Madrid might look to bring him to the Bernabeu on a free transfer but it looks like Alexander-Arnold could be doing some business of his own soon enough. French newspaper L’Equipe (via Get Football News France) claim that Alexander-Arnold ‘wants to become the owner…
