Trent Alexander-Arnold is starring for England under interim manager Lee Carsley – and the national team’s social media team have spotlighted the Liverpool man. Alexander-Arnold, 25, played the full 90 minutes in both Nations League games during September’s international break. He was named player-of-the-match against Ireland and Finland to boot. In both matches, he was impressive with his range of passing, bursting into new life with the national team. After coming close in the Ireland game, Alexander-Arnold assisted Harry Kane in the build-up to the opening goal against Finland. He then played a one-two with Noni Madueke to play the…
Caoimhin Kelleher was less than subtle this week when discussing frustration over his Liverpool future. But there’s another player in the Reds squad who was perhaps also not expecting to still be at Anfield once the transfer window slammed shut at the end of last month. Tyler Morton’s impressive loan spell at Hull City in the Championship last season – following a similarly encouraging time at Blackburn Rovers the previous term – had made the Academy graduate in demand with clubs from both home and abroad during the summer. German side RB Leipzig and Europa League winners Atalanta – both…
With Liverpool likely in need of strengthening at centre-back in the not-too-distant future, Sporting Lisbon could be one possible port of call. The Reds have repeatedly been linked with a swoop for Goncalo Inacio in recent transfer windows while the ECHO in the past reported their admiration for his team-mate, Ousmane Diomande. But should Liverpool actually ever sign either player, they will hope that they fare considerably better than the previous two times they have bought from Sporting Lisbon. The Reds first turned to the Portuguese outfit in January 2012, snapping up Joao Carlos Teixeira in an £830,000 deal after…
Liverpool’s academy has produced some incredible players during the Premier League era. Steven McManaman, Robbie Fowler, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard famously all starred for the Reds after bursting onto the scene in the 90s. Fast forward to the present day and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, Jarell Quansah, Conor Bradley and Caoimhin Kelleher are big parts of the senior squad after graduating from the academy. However, the Reds’ academy hasn’t always been the ‘gold mine’ it is today. Throughout the noughties, it was regularly rued how Gerrard remained the last graduate to become a key first-team player. Considering…
Nike has been Liverpool’s kit partner since 2020. But from the start of next season there could be a change of direction for the Reds. Back in April, it was first reported by Sport Business that Liverpool were ready to make the move away from Nike at the end of the current contract, which finishes at the end of this current season, with a return to German sportswear giant Adidas expected. The club has remained coy on the prospect of changing its kit partner to Adidas, declining to comment on the situation when asked by the ECHO recently, with no…
Calvin Ramsay has a point to prove on loan at Wigan Athletic this season after a nightmare two seasons since joining Liverpool. The Reds signed the 21-year-old from Aberdeen in a deal worth up to £6.5m in June 2022 after an eye-catching breakthrough season in the Scottish Premiership. But since then, everything that can go wrong has gone wrong for the young right-back. A stress fracture in his back was spotted in his medical, while his first season at Anfield was ended prematurely by a knee injury which required surgery in February 2023. Sent on loan to Championship side Preston…
Former Liverpool loanee Victor Moses is back in English football after signing for Luton Town on a free transfer. The Nigeria international left Spartak Moscow at the end of his contract this summer, but has had to wait until 11 days after the transfer window closed to get his future resolved. The 33-year-old made 22 appearances for the Reds when he signed on loan from Chelsea in the 2013/14 season, scoring two goals. But he soon fell out of favour under manager Brendan Rodgers before returning to Stamford Bridge. Moses’ switch to Kenilworth Road sees him become the latest former…
Caoimhin Kelleher could hardly have been clearer. As the Liverpool goalkeeper addressed the media ahead of the Republic of Ireland’s Nations League clash with Greece, he made no secret of his desire to leave Anfield in search of regular first-team football. The 25-year-old has assumed cult hero status since joining the Reds from Ringmahon Rangers as a teenager, helping the club to two League Cup triumphs and earning the title of “the best No.2 in the world” from former manager Jurgen Klopp. Certainly, he proved a more than capable deputy to Alisson Becker last season, making a career-best 26 appearances…
Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch continues to impress this season. He has now received rave reviews from the Dutch media for his latest performance. The 22-year-old has started every game so far under Arne Slot and has thrived after being in and out of the team last season. He was praised for his performance in the 3-0 win over Manchester United before the international break, and it now seems he has taken that onto the international stage. After being an unused substitute throughout Euro 2024, he has played the full 90 minutes of both Netherlands games during the international break. His…
Mexico winger Cesar Huerta has claimed he had his “suitcase ready” for a move to Liverpool before the prospective transfer collapsed. Reports in Central America last month had suggested the Reds were considering a move for the 23-year-old, who plays for Pumas UNAM in his homeland. Mexican broadcaster TUDN claimed Huerta was “very close” to moving to Liverpool in a permanent deal that would have seen the player loaned out to Championship club Sunderland this season before linking up at Anfield next summer. However, the report suggested the deal was scuppered by Black Cats manager Regis Le Bris vetoing the…
