Liverpool fans could have their hearts broken once more by Manchester United if the Red Devils swoop in for another of the club’s targets just a matter of days after confirming the signing of Leny Yoro from Lille. The Reds were linked with a move for the French defender this summer after expressing their interest to Lille, yet ultimately decided against making a bid after refusing to match the Ligue 1 club’s eye-watering price tag, coupled with the fact it was assumed he was off to Real Madrid. It a dramatic turn of events, however, the 18-year-old ended up joining…
Liverpool centre back Rhys Williams is now expected to LEAVE the club this summer having been left out of Arne Slot’s pre-season plans. That’s according to a report in the Liverpool Echo, which states that he has been absent from the first-team picture under the Dutchman. Williams, 23, has played 19 times for the first team and was described as ‘exceptional’ by Jurgen Klopp after featuring in the Champions League against Atalanta during the 2020/21 season. The 6’5 defender, alongside Nat Phillips, helped Klopp alleviate a central defensive injury crisis, playing the final five Premier League games of the season…
Manchester City may target Ange Postecoglou if Pep Guardiola leaves next year – and the Tottenham Hotspur boss would reportedly be interested. Postecoglou has previously batted away rumours linking him to Liverpool and, most recently, the England job. When Jurgen Klopp announced he would be departing the Merseysiders, Postecoglou was one of the first names to be linked with a move to Anfield. When those rumours were put to him, the Australian dismissively rejected those reports, stating he has only just got his feet under the table at Tottenham – and eventually, Arne Slot was appointed at Anfield instead. Shortly…
Team X are interested in prising the defender way from Crystal Palace for somewhere in the region of £50 million to £70 million – depending on the day, the source, and the prevailing wind direction – but will face intense competition from Team Y and Team Z, who are also keen. Blah blah blah, impressive Euro 2024 campaign, blah blah blah, contract expires in 2026… you get the picture. Again. Anyways, it is not my job to be cynical, but rather to provide you with the tools with which you can craft your own cynicism. So here goes; Arsenal are…
Slot continues Klopp’s meticulous methods by embracing innovative ideas and expert input, with goalkeepers wearing goggles and noise-cancelling headphones in training. Marginal gains remain crucial for Liverpool’s success as they strive to secure major silverware under Slot. The beauty of football managers lies within the idea that no two characters are ever the same. From training methods and in-game strategies, all the way through to interview techniques, this is the case in pretty much all aspects of leadership. And with Liverpool’s first pre-season without Jurgen Klopp in charge for nine years well underway, eagle-eyed fans have already spotted a key…
Credit where credit is due, Manchester United have completed an exciting signing in Lille’s Leny Yoro this summer. Reds fans can’t really blame Liverpool for stepping away from the move given the finances involved and the player’s game time demands. Now, following the move, key officials at the Merseyside outfit will surely have been sharing a chuckle amongst themselves at the youngster’s post-signing comments. “Signing for a club with the stature and ambition of Manchester United so early in my career is an incredible honour,” the Frenchman told manutd.com. “Since my first conversations with the club, they set out a…
Thierry Henry has perfectly summed up the issues facing Arne Slot after replacing Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool’s new manager. The Dutchman is in his first month as Reds boss after Klopp decided to quit following nine years at the helm. Slot not only has the challenge of trying to replicate Klopp’s infectious personality, but also implementing a style of play that will garner the same respect from fans, pundits and rivals alike. Liverpool became one of the most feared teams in world football thanks to Klopp’s high-intensity football which impressed many throughout his nine-year tenure, including Arsenal legend Thierry Henry,…
The results of our Leny Yoro poll are in and here’s what fans think of Liverpool’s decision not to pursue the defender. Liverpool were quite heavily linked with Leny Yoro this year but pursuing him was fruitless. He was destined for Real Madrid, either this summer or on a free transfer next year. At least, that’s what everyone thought. Instead, Yoro will join Manchester United in a £52m deal that has seen them put forward, in Fabrizio Romano’s words, an ‘incredible proposal’. United will pay Yoro like a superstar despite him only having one full season of football under his…
Liverpool have confirmed the appointment of John Heitinga as assistant coach, becoming the latest addition to Arne Slot’s new-look backroom team. Slot, 45, brought Sipke Hulshoff and Ruben Peeters with him from Feyenoord with new goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte arriving from the United States men’s national team after their exit from the Copa America. The Dutchman had also been hoping to bring in the Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Marino Pusic – who worked with him in Rotterdam – but he opted to stay put with the Ukrainian champions. Nonetheless, former Dutch international Heitinga has now come on board having established…
Everton are reportedly closing in on Napoli midfielder Jesper Lindstorm, a self-confessed Liverpool fan who spurned a move to the club. The 24-year-old moved to the Serie A club last summer from Eintracht Frankfurt. Lindstrom made 29 appearances across competitions for Napoli last season without making a goal contribution. He’s contracted with the club till 2028, but there has been no dearth of interest in his services.Corriere dello Sport (as per TBR) has reported that Everton are close to snapping up Lindstrom on a loan deal with an option to make it permanent next summer for €25 million.
