As a result, the new rule will be…
Cody Gakpo is having a Euro 2024, isn’t he? His performances are making Jurgen Klopp’s use of the Dutchman over the past 18 months even more confusing. He’s the joint-top goalscorer with three and he’s been named as the Player of the Match in two of his four starts in Germany. Deployed on the left side of the attack by Ronald Koeman, the feeling is that he’s catching the eye as a result of being used in his best position.

Despite boasting talents like Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah in the squad for another season, there’s still a call for an additional offensive force for Slot’s team.

A decision by Jurgen Klopp left former Liverpool youngster Connor Randall feeling “embarrassed” and “ashamed” during his time at Anfield. While some Liverpool starlets like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Harvey Elliott thrived under Klopp, others like young right-back Randall faced tougher times. The former academy player experienced a particularly harsh moment when Klopp subbed him at half-time during a 2-1 defeat to Wolves in the FA Cup. The Reds were trailing by two goals at the break in the fourth round in 2017, and despite Divock Origi’s late goal narrowing the gap, they crashed out of the competition, much to the…

There are also claims that Everton are closing in on the signature of Sekou Koita. The Mali forward, an international team-mate of Abdoulaye Doucoure, is a free agent after leaving Red Bull Salzburg.
