Jannik Sinner was in sensational form, becoming the first Italian man to clinch the US Open title, defeating American Taylor Fritz 6-3 6-4 7-5 in the men’s singles final, on Sunday. Sinner also silenced his critics who questioned his recent doping controversy at the start of the tournament. It was revealed he tested positive twice for an anabolic agent in March, but avoided a ban. An independent tribunal accepted his defence that the test results were affected by unintentional contamination. In a video posted by ATP since his US Open victory, Sinner was asked some questions and he responded with…
Arne Slot’s tenure at Liverpool has started impressively, but a concerning subplot looms over Anfield this season. Three of Liverpool’s key players—Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah—are all out of contract at the end of the current campaign. Each of them has started the season in excellent form and remains vital to the team’s success. If they choose to stay, they will continue to be crucial for years to come. Liverpool seem to be optimistic about securing Alexander-Arnold’s long-term future, with the player reportedly assessing the situation under Slot’s management. However, until a formal announcement is made, there…
It has been two seasons now and Liverpool are yet to find a new central defender in the market. The emergence of Jarrel Quansah has softened the blow a little bit but there is only so much that Arne Slot can do with the options he has. Even in the summer just gone by, the club did not make any major moves to sign a new center-back. One player they have been linked with since and a player they are said to have an advantage in the race for is £25m star, Jonathan Tah. Liverpool are ‘lining up’ a deal…
Liverpool’s summer transfer window was marked by late moves and significant changes. While the acquisition of Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa injected new talent into the squad, the latter’s impact will be immediate, while Mamardashvili is set to continue his development on loan at Valencia for the season. Despite these additions, questions remain about Liverpool’s squad depth, particularly in midfield. Liverpool face potential upheaval next summer with Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all set to become free agents. This scenario poses a significant threat to the team’s stability, though both Van Dijk and Salah have expressed their…
Liverpool journalist James Pearce has spoken of his surprise that Reds goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher didn’t see a ‘bigger battle’ from interested clubs in terms of signing him in the summer transfer window – labelling the decision for Arne Slot and his recruitment team to turn down a paltry bid from Nottingham Forest in the summer as a ‘no-brainer’. However, The Athletic writer stated that despite the bids being rejected, there is an expectation he will move on next summer. Kelleher was linked with a move to Premier League outfit Forest in the summer, with the east Midlands side reportedly offering…
Liverpool fans could be set for unprecedented double bonus next summer depending on the outcome of Manchester City’s trial for allegedly breaking financial fair play rules. The Citizens allegedly failed to provide accurate financial information between 2009 and 2018, according to the Premier League, and totalled up 115 alleged charges as a result, with a court hearing now due to begin next week. If Pep Guardiola’s club is found guilty, then it could be handed a points deduction, transfer ban or, at worst, kicked out of the Premier League. It would also likely be stripped of the three titles it…
Paul Scholes has a huge concern over Trent Alexander-Arnold after seeing what Arne Slot did during the game against Manchester United. Liverpool won 3-0 to make it three wins from three in the Premier League under their new manager. It was an impressive performance from the Reds but Scholes noticed a potential issue involving Alexander-Arnold. He played 75 minutes at Old Trafford and was substituted for the third consecutive game. Unlike after the Brentford game where he had a face full of thunder, the England international was much happier this time around. Yet Scholes wonders if Slot is too happy…
A key Liverpool star is reportedly set to leave next year according to a report by a top journalist. Despite a quiet remaining quiet early on, Liverpool were busy at the end of the summer transfer window, securing deals for Georgian keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa before the window closed. Several key players also left the Reds over the summer, with Fabio Carvalho, Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip all departing the club. And now, a new report has revealed that the club expect that another key player will leave the club next year. According to The Athletic journalist James…
Former Ajax and Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has made a bold claim regarding Liverpool’s new midfield acquisition, Ryan Gravenberch. According to van der Vaart, Liverpool may not need Jude Bellingham, as Gravenberch has the potential to exceed the English midfielder’s impact on the game. Liverpool’s decision to move on from pursuing Jude Bellingham was a major talking point during the summer of 2023. Bellingham, one of Europe’s most highly-rated young talents, eventually joined Real Madrid in a high-profile transfer worth €103 million. Meanwhile, Liverpool turned their attention to signing Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo.…
Liverpool were relatively quiet in the summer transfer window as Arne Slot was left with a high quality squad at Anfield. Arne Slot is blessed with a large number of attacking options, but that didn’t stop Liverpool from bringing in Federico Chiesa in the summer. Liverpool are pretty stocked in most areas apart from the middle of midfield, hence the move to sign Martin Zubimendi. Curtis Jones is making his way back from injury and should be fit to face Nottingham Forest, which gives the Reds an extra body in midfield areas. However, one disappointment is that the versatile Harvey…
