Everton majority shareholder Moshiri has granted a period of exclusivity to the American but any deal is dependent…
We’re only three games into the season, but having been forced to pause for the first international break, that at least has given us chance to assess Arne Slot‘s start. Liverpool have three victories and three clean sheets – the positive start the club and supporters craved under new management.

We cannot jump to too many conclusions so early into the season, but we have still learned a lot from how…
