The 2023/24 Premier League season produced an enthralling title race, and Liverpool attacker Luiz Diaz was one of the top playmakers in the top flight. Diaz recorded an impressive 163 shot-creating actions this season, averaging 5.58 per 90 minutes – the fifth most in the top flight. However, Liverpool’s inefficiency in front of goal meant Diaz amassed just nine goal-creating actions. The team’s poor finishing has been a critical issue. Liverpool’s dire run in front of goal cost them in the title race. The Reds failed to convert Diaz’s effectiveness into tangible results. Liverpool led the way at the top…
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has unveiled a bold new look. The number 11 has seemingly shaved his head, showing off the new trim in a photograph posted on Instagram. Salah’s hair has been iconic during his time at Liverpool but one of the Egyptian’s trademarks appears to have gone, for now at least. Salah, who is currently on holiday after the season ended last weekend, has just a year left on his contract at Anfield, though he is expected to stay at Liverpool this summer and help move the Reds into the Arne Slot era. With the 31-year-old having revealed…

Jurgen Klopp has already started his life away from Liverpool on the back of his emotional Anfield farewell. Last weekend, Liverpool ended their 23/24 Premier League season with a 2-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Jarell Quansah were enough to ensure Klopp will end his time as Liverpool’s manager on a positive note. After the match, Klopp delivered an emotional speech to the Anfield crowd as he asked the fans to back his successor, Dutchman Arne Slot. Now, a few days after his Anfield farewell, Klopp has been spotted in Spain. The Daily Mail claimed…
Former Arsenal and West Ham player Jack Wilshere says he rates Steven Gerrard as the best midfielder who has played the game. Wilshere came up against the Liverpool legend on numerous occasions during his playing days and, when asked who he regards as the greatest ever to play in midfield, he replied: “Stevie G [Steven Gerrard]. Most complete. If you ask me, who is my favourite midfielder, it might’ve been a different answer, maybe an [Andres] Iniesta-type, [Kevin] De Bruyne-type.” Gerrard played 710 games over the course of his time with the Reds and he was very prolific in front…
Liverpool is being linked with a move for Mainz winger Brajan Gruda. The seven-cap Germany under-21 international would reportedly cost the Reds around $22m (£17m/€20m), and is under contract until the summer of 2026. The story comes from Sport Bild, who also reports that a host of clubs are interested in signing the 19-year-old. But what sort of player is he, and does he fulfil a need Liverpool has this summer? Gruda has just completed his first full season of senior football, playing alongside Reds loanee Sepp van den Berg. He scored four times and provided three assists in the…

Liverpool are preparing to usurp Paris Saint-Germain’s plans to sign the highly-rated young Lille defender Leny Yoro, according to reports in France. The Reds are in the market for defensive reinforcements this summer with Joel Matip leaving the club and injury questions surrounding Ibrahima Konate. Lloyd Kelly and Tosin Adarabioyo are among the bargain names which were linked with an Anfield move but it looks like they will be on the move to Newcastle in free transfers instead. That represents a blow for Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes, who signed Kelly from Bristol City for Bournemouth when he was Technical…
When Jürgen Klopp reflected on his final season in charge of Liverpool, he insisted it had been one of progress. The quadruple had been an unlikely dream at one stage of the campaign but the Reds had to settle for one trophy and a return to the Champions League. Liverpool managed just three wins from its last eight matches and that run ultimately distinguished any faint title hope. In the final scoring, Klopp’s men finished up in third, nine points adrift of Manchester City and seven off runners-up Arsenal. There were some suggestions that Klopp’s decision to announce his exit…
