Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, has made another rare appearance on X (formerly Twitter) to clarify some details around his client’s future. The Colombian popped online to pour cold water over reports claiming ‘inside information’ on the 32-year-old’s Liverpool future. This follows a prior report from Fabrizio Romano noting that the club was set to open talks with their record-breaking goalscorer imminently. Salah’s current terms are set – along with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s – to expire in the summer of 2025. It says a great deal about our No.11 that, even despite a somewhat turbulent last couple…
Three Liverpool players were in action on Monday, but it was a case of watching on from the bench for Ibrahima Konate as Didier Deschamps again mixed up his centre-backs. After watching the entirety of France’s run to the Euro semi-finals this summer, Konate finally got his chance in the XI against Italy last week. But he did not take his opportunity in the 3-1 defeat, with French outlet Le Parisien saying he “produced a truly insufficient display.” With Deschamps seeking a reaction against Belgium, he dropped Konate to the bench in favour of a Dayot Upamecano and William Saliba…
Liverpool officially completed the signing of 16-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha earlier this month, and on Tuesday he joined training with members of Arne Slot‘s first team. With 19 senior players yet to return from the September break, Slot’s squad is currently threadbare and his latest training group included a number of the club’s young players. The Athletic name-checked Ngumoha as one of the academy players involved during Tuesday’s session, speaking volumes of the the talent the 16-year-old possesses. Ngumoha is expected to join up with Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s U18s this season, but there is no reason why he could not be…
Mohamed Salah earned his 100th cap for his country and, what would you know, he commemorated the occasion with another goal to continue his bright start to the new season. The 32-year-old continues to do what he has always done, and that is score goals. He had three for Liverpool before the break and returns with one for Egypt. Salah played 165 minutes during this month’s internationals, with his 75-minute outing against Botswana bringing up his 100th appearance for his country. He became the 14th player to reach the milestone for Egypt, with Mohamed Elneny making it 15 on the…
In a season already brimming with excitement, former Arsenal star and Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has weighed in on Liverpool’s upcoming clash with Nottingham Forest and the Reds’ chances of securing the Premier League title. Merson’s insights provide a fascinating glimpse into what fans might expect as the season progresses. Liverpool, currently under the stewardship of new Boss Arne slot, have been in formidable form, demonstrating their capacity to challenge for the title once again. They face Nottingham Forest this weekend in a fixture that on paper seems to favor the Merseysiders heavily. Nottingham Forest, though showing resilience and…
Caoimhin Kelleher has recently hinted at his frustration about staying at Liverpool this summer, but the club were right to keep him in light of the offers they received. It is no secret the Irishman aspires to be a No. 1 goalkeeper, and it’s looking increasingly likely Kelleher won’t be able to fulfil those ambitions at Anfield.

Liverpool’s internationals have returned to the AXA Training Centre following the September break, and Arne Slot shared a warm moment with Trent Alexander-Arnold on his arrival. The Reds are gearing up to return to Premier League action with Nottingham Forest arriving at Anfield on Saturday. The vast majority of the club’s players have been away on international duty during the past two weeks, but Thursday saw most of them report back to Liverpool. The club’s official X account shared a brief video showing some of the returnees, including Virgil van Dijk and Luis Diaz. The vast majority of the club’s…
With the release of the new EA Sports FC game, Liverpool’s squad have once again provided us with some amusing reactions to their new ratings. The release of the EA Sports video game each year always provokes debate among supporters, and it gives the players plenty to talk about too! The game was rebranded last year after FIFA was taken out of the name due to their 30-year partnership with EA coming to an end. In previous videos, it was the likes of Diogo Jota and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain taking their teammates through the game’s latest ratings. This time around, it…
One of the key changes Arne Slot has implemented at Liverpool has been the reintroduction of the No.10 into the tactical framework. Under Jurgen Klopp, such a position became a luxury, with the former Reds manager preferring a high, counter-pressing system over a roving, creative midfielder with few defensive instructions. “Counter-pressing makes exactly the same [influence as a playmaker],” Klopp once said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football. “No playmaker in the world can be as good as a good counter-pressing situation.” And while Slot has kept Liverpool’s high press that was made famous during Klopp’s nine-year reign, the midfield…
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed he is expecting a hearing on a potential third points deduction to come “very quickly”. Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – insisted the case is based around accounting rules and will be “pretty black and white” for the Merseysiders. Premier League chiefs claim £6.5million, which was attributed to new stadium interest payments, should be added to the club’s spending for the 2022-23 campaign and…
