Liverpool have gained awareness about the gravity of the situation they are facing this season with the change in the Champions League format. They are already facing a lot of heat from a big section of the fanbase after the deadline day. The Reds ended the summer transfer window with merely two senior team signings Giorgi Mamardashvili and attacker Federico Chiesa. Mamardashvili rejoined Valencia on a season-long loan deal as the Georgia international goalkeeper is an investment to secure the future. However, Chiesa’s signing completely secures the attacking department and provides stern competition to legendary forward Mohamed Salah this season.…
Liverpool have reportedly made plans to sign a new midfielder in the January window. Reds sporting director Richard Hughes has just completed his first transfer window after starting his position early in the summer. Hughes experienced frustration for large parts of the window, before he managed to make a couple of additions in the closing stages of the window. They completed the signing of Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili before they loaned him straight back to the Spanish club for the rest of the 2024-25 season. The Reds also bolstered their attacking options with the addition of Italy international Federico Chiesa,…
Liverpool still boast the best bargain of the transfer window despite one rival striking a fantastic deal at the deadline. Federico Chiesa can be something special. Liverpool aren’t the only title-chaser to secure a proper bargain at the end of the transfer window. Arsenal picked up Raheem Sterling from Chelsea for what can only be called a steal. Chelsea essentially froze the player out, handing his squad number to Pedro Neto and making it clear they wanted Sterling gone. However, that only works if someone is willing to buy him. While teams certainly would have signed Sterling, his wages were…
Trey Nyoni could make history as Liverpool’s youngest ever player to feature in both European and Champions League football this season, following a flurry of activity at the close of the transfer window. The Reds confirmed five loan departures on deadline day, including Stefan Bajcetic, Marcelo Pitaluga, Nat Phillips, Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon. While Bajcetic and the two wingers are still classified as Under-21s, Phillips and Pitaluga would have needed to be included in Arne Slot’s 25-man squad if they had remained at Anfield. This also applies to Owen Beck and Rhys Williams who left on loan earlier in…
One of the names linked with Liverpool this summer has seen a transfer saga finally come to an end – and the Reds could now benefit. It’s no secret that Liverpool have been chasing players in certain positions more than others, with the defensive midfield chase well-publicised even before Martin Zubimendi turned down the chance to move to Anfield. Whilst the popular belief is that the whole weight of the Reds’ transfer hierarchy is trying to find the next best no.6 that can fit seamlessly into Arne Slot’s squad, there is also a steadfast appetite to see reinforcement in the…
Adam Lallana has spoken out on his move from Southampton to Liverpool in 2014 Adam Lallana is looking to repair his relationship with Southampton supporters after re-joining this club this summer – 10 years after he left in a $33million (£25m/€30m) move to Liverpool. The former Reds midfielder went on to enjoy a successful career at Anfield following that 2015 transfer, winning the Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup under Jurgen Klopp across six seasons. Scoring 22 goals and providing the same amount of assists in 178 appearances for the Reds, Lallana certainly played…
The summer transfer window is now closed and Liverpool’s squad is locked in. Liverpool are headed for a blockbuster clash this weekend as Arne Slot prepares for his first meeting with Manchester United as the new Reds manager. The Dutchman has enjoyed a perfect start to his new role, with two wins and two clean sheets from the opening Premier League fixtures. United will host Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, giving the Reds the perfect opportunity to secure a statement result on the road. Slot will also meet with Erik ten Hag for their first Premier League clash —…
Raheem Sterling’s dramatic switch to Arsenal was one of the standout stories of deadline day – but in a window in which critics called on the Gunners to sign a striker, will the incoming Chelsea winger make the difference for Mikel Arteta’s men this season? Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca may “prefer different kinds of wingers” but Sterling will be playing under an admirer at Arsenal. Arteta was striking with his effusive praise for the player last week, calling his time coaching Sterling at Man City “exceptional”. “We built a really strong relationship together,” he added. At that point a move…
Spanish superstar Carlos Alcaraz was knocked out of the US Open by Dutch world number 74 Botic van de Zandschulp in a seismic second round upset on Thursday. World number three and 2022 champion Alcaraz lost 6-1, 7-5, 6-4, ending his bid to become only the third man in the modern era to win the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open in the same season. “I’m a little lost for words,” said van de Zandschulp after only his second career win over a top five player. “It was an incredible evening out here in my first time in the night…
Everton have signed Chelsea forward Armando Broja on a season-long loan with an option to make the move permanent next summer. The 22-year-old Albania international had looked set to complete a deadline day move to Ipswich. But a late twist saw the Merseyside club submit a deal sheet before the 23:00 BST deadline for the striker, who is expected to be out until mid-October with a foot injury. Broja, whose current deal at Chelsea expires in 2028, has previously had three loan spells away from the Blues at Vitesse Arnhem, Southampton and Fulham. Everton’s director of football, Kevin Thelwell, said:…
