Federico Chiesa looks set to become Arne Slot’s second signing of this summer’s transfer window, with Liverpool closing in on a deal worth just under £11m for the Italian international.

The 26-year-old winger has even been labelled a ‘shadow’ of his former self after his ACL injury in 2022. But despite some surprise surrounding his signing, Chiesa could bolster Liverpool’s front line with pace and directness. And at such a low…

All reports point towards the Juventus attacker heading to Anfield in the coming days with the 26-year-old having already reportedly ‘said yes’ to a potential move.

In fact, Sunday’s match will mark the fifth time…
Liverpool legends don’t come much greater than Jamie Carragher. Even the iconic Steven Gerrard can’t quite claim to be a one-club man in the same way — although the defender has revealed that there’s another Premier League club for which he might have quite liked to have played. Carragher rose through the ranks at Melwood, and then never left Anfield. Despite being raised an Evertonian, he became as staunchly Red as they come, even admitting he always put his club career before his England prospects. So it was intriguing to hear which other clubs in the division might have appealed…

Speaking on The Overlap, Carragher said that both Arsenal and Manchester City have made similar signings over the past twelve months and he thinks Arne Slot’s side could benefit by having that type of player: “When I look at what [Manchester] City and Arsenal have got, there’s a certain player at both clubs who I think would be brilliant for Liverpool” “Arsenal have just brought in Calafiori and Man City have got Nathan Ake and [Josko] Gvardiol. I think Liverpool could do…

However, his most memorable stint was with Manchester City in England, where he played a crucial role in their dramatic Premier League title win in 2011/12. His time at City wasn’t without controversy, though. He was once fined two weeks’ wages due to his poor disciplinary record and had several run-ins with teammates, sometimes even during matches. Off the field, firefighters were once summoned to his Cheshire home after fireworks set a curtain ablaze. In…
