Slot’s Anfield life got off to an ideal start with a 2-0 away win against Ipswich, but the club’s transfer failures somewhat overshadowed this – they are the only Premier League side not to have made a summer signing and were rejected by their main target, Martin Zubimendi. With the window winding down and deadline day fast approaching, Liverpool do not have long left to sign that first recruit and may require funds to do so. The £27.5million gathered from youngster Fabio Carvalho’s sale to Brentford should help with any signings, and Van den Berg may soon suffer a similar…
Raheem Sterling has been told in no uncertain terms by Enzo Maresca that his future lies away from Chelsea. It remains to be seen what comes next for the 29-year-old, but it seems clear he would be open to a Liverpool return, even if the Anfield hierarchy will likely feel differently. You do have to feel a bit sorry for Sterling. Okay, maybe you don’t have to — Jamie Carragher simply told his old Liverpool teammate to “play better” after he had released a statement about his exclusion from the Premier League squad — but there is a lot which…
Jannik Sinner wants to put “challenging and deeply unfortunate period” behind him after first testing positive for a trace element of the banned substance clostebol at Indian Wells in March; Italian won the Cincinnati Open ahead of the US Open, which starts on Monday. Several tennis players have reacted with anger after world No 1 Jannik Sinner was cleared after twice testing positive for the banned substance clostebol. Nick Kyrgios, Denis Shapovalov and Liam Broady were among the stars to post on social media on Tuesday after the Italian was cleared by an independent tribunal. An initial test occurred during…
Everton are ready to meet Barcelona’s demands to sign Vitor Roque before 30 August, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Spanish newspaper reported on Wednesday (21 August, page 4) that the Toffees are facing competition from Sporting CP, FC Porto and Villarreal, who are all willing to pay £25.6million. Real Betis are understood to have taken a positive step towards signing the 19-year-old, with Roque open to a move, but Barcelona are still evaluating potential deals with other interested parties. Considering the talent being shown by Roque, it is a surprise to see Barca so open to the player’s exit this…
Former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has admitted he tried to sign a Manchester United legend through his girlfriend. While Rafa Benitez will not go down as one of the game’s greatest managers, he did oversee one of the most incredible achievements in football history. The Spaniard managed Liverpool for six years between 2004 and 2010, and in his first season he led a fairly average side to glory in the Champions League. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rest of Benitez’ tenure failed to reach the heights of that famous night in Istanbul. However, that wasn’t necessarily all his fault. In a recent…
Graeme Souness has revealed his Premier League top-three prediction for the new season, tipping Manchester City’s stranglehold over the title to come to an end. Man City are attempting to win an unprecedented fifth successive league title and made a strong start to their defence on the opening weekend, beating Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. City’s biggest competition over the last two seasons has come from Arsenal and Souness believes Mikel Arteta’s side will improve from back-to-back second-place finishes and lift the Premier League trophy. If Souness is correct, Arsenal – who began their 2024-25 campaign with a 2-0 win…
It was a mostly bleak night for Liverpool at the PFA Awards yesterday evening. And that’s not just because it was a gray and rainy August evening in Manchester. There was some success for Virgil van Dijk, who made the Team of the Year. But Mohamed Salah was snubbed for a second consecutive season. For a player who has made no secret of his drive to win individual accolades in the past, this will come as a blow. Surprisingly, Sadio Mane has actually made it into more PFA Team of the Year sides than Salah (four versus three), who has…
On Tuesday, Deportes Cope Valencia reported Liverpool have accelerated talks to sign Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Reds’ idea is to send the 23-year-old out on loan and AFC Bournemouth are an option for him. Mamardashvili’s desire is to return to the La Liga side on loan, and this is backed up by Wednesday’s edition of AS and Marca. Los Ches owner Peter Lim has requested €40m for the stopper, while Arne Slot’s side have refused to meet his request so far. At the weekend, he started in his side’s defeat to Barcelona. The confidence shown by manager Rubén Baraja…
Fantasy Premier League players have been told to watch out for Arne Slot’s unusual tactic that he could bring to Liverpool when picking their teams this year. FPL got underway last weekend, with a host of price changes and new players being added for the 2024/25 season. While some managers got off to the best of starts, there can be perhaps be no worse feeling than seeing two or three of your XI not getting picked by their respective teams – meaning you have to waste precious transfers already. Liverpool largely went with the XI many would have expected in…
After months of waiting, fans have finally gotten a glimpse of Arne Slot’s Liverpool in competitive action. The Reds began their 2024/25 Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over newly promoted Ipswich Town, with goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah sealing the three points at Portman Road. The visitors made a slow start in East Anglia but rallied after the break as Slot introduced Ibrahima Konate in place of Jarell Quansah. While it is still very early days, there were plenty of positive signs from Liverpool as they continue to adapt to life under their new head coach.…
