Joshua Zirkzee will almost certainly leave Bologna after the European Championship. The only question is which club the 22-year-old striker will sign for. For some time, Zirkzee seemed to be making a €40 million transfer to AC Milan, but according to Corriere dello Sport, Thiago Motta is also chasing the signature of his former pupil with his new club Juventus. Motta and Zirkzee started their adventure at Bologna almost simultaneously, when the latter signed the attacker from Bayern Munich two years ago for €8.5m. Under the Brazilian-Italian coach, Zirkzee became an important link and was used in 57 matches. Last…
Roy Keane claimed that Trent Alexander-Arnold played ‘one good ball in an hour’ during England’s win over Serbia. England prevailed with a 1-0 victory in their opening Euro 2024 fixture but there was much debate over Alexander-Arnold’s performance. As anticipated, Gareth Southgate elected to deploy the 25-year-old in midfield even though he usually features as a right-back for Liverpool at club level. Alexander-Arnold was on the pitch for 69 minutes before he was replaced by Conor Gallagher. Keane claimed that it will take Alexander-Arnold time to get used to playing in midfield at international level. Speaking on ITV, Keane said:…
Liverpool winger, Cody Gakpo, has revealed the name of his toughest opponent in the English Premier League. The 25-year old Dutch winger joined the Reds in 2022. Liverpool won the race for the Dutch international after edging out Manchester United. The Red Devils were relentlessly in the pursuit of signing Gakpo. Especially, since the 25-year old’s incredible performances for PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie.

CODY GAKPO’S IMPRESSIVE…
Liverpool are expected to conduct business in the current summer window. That has been the word from the ever-reliable James Pearce of The Athletic. Though, there’s a possibility the Reds could miss out on one reported target in Crysencio Summerville. Fabrizio Romano reports on X (formerly Twitter) that Brighton and Hove Albion have ‘started initial talks’ over signing the Leeds United winger. The former Feyenoord academy product enjoyed a stellar campaign in England’s second tier in 2024/25, registering 31 goal contributions in 49 games (across all competitions). The Whites missed out on a promotion place after succumbing to a 1-0…
Gareth Southgate’s conundrum with Trent Alexander-Arnold is going to give incoming Liverpool boss Arne Slot food for thought. The full-back was deployed in an intriguing, yet still unfamiliar central midfield role in the Three Lions’ 1-0 victory over Serbia. Alexander-Arnold’s best position has been a frequent point of debate over the last few years – and even Jurgen Klopp has been involved in the discussion. After the 25-year-old was first deployed in the position in a drab England victory over Andorra in 2021, Klopp questioned the decision in his next press conference. However, even the Liverpool legend appeared to pivot…
The negotiations over the transfer of Sepp van den Berg to 1. FSV Mainz 05 are at an impasse, according to German media. The Bundesliga club loaned the defender from Liverpool last season and would now like to sign him permanently. However, at Anfield, they do not seem to be giving any priority to the departure of the 22-year-old Dutchman. Richard Hughes has recently been appointed as the club’s new sporting director and Van den Berg does not appear to be at the top of his priority list. “New sporting director Richard Hughes has more important things than a player…
Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold looks set to start for England in central midfield against Serbia tonight – however, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane is not convinced that he is up to the task. Primarily a right-back, Alexander-Arnold has played in central midfield on several occasions for Liverpool in the Premier League, where his exquisite passing ability has been put to good use. Despite this, Keane thinks that the 25-year-old will ‘ripped to shreds’ when England play against one of the stronger teams in the competition. Keane cited Alexander-Arnold’s positioning as his key weakness while playing in the middle of…
Liverpool are expected to “drop” their “interest” in Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after having an enquiry knocked back, according to TBR Football. It is believed that the Reds have asked about the Georgian international’s availability recently but they are not going to hang around if his club are not willing to sell.

We want to leave, but we are waiting for the end of the Euros…
Liverpool and Manchester United are both “actively pursuing” Lille defender Leny Yoro, according to The Athletic. The Frenchman is regarded as a top target for both teams but it is believed that Real Madrid are the player’s preferred destination. With the Reds having lost out to Real for Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham over the last two summers, supporters on X are not optimistic that they will win the race for Yoro: Yoro is a highly-rated young centre-back Despite still only being a teenager, the Frenchman established himself as a regular starter for Lille last season. His manager Paulo Fonseca…
There is civil war brewing at Napoli between Antonio Conte’s new team and reported Liverpool target Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
