Nunez is in the form of his life for Uruguay and scored for the seventh game in a row on Thursday night, showing new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot everything he needs to see ahead of next season. Nunez, 25, joined Liverpool for a club-record $107 million fee back in 2022 and has scored 20 goals in 65 Premier League appearances. The striker has dipped in and out of form since moving to Liverpool but could be set for a breakthrough season if his Copa America performance levels continue into the 2024-25 Premier League season. The Uruguayan has never struggled…
Takumi Minamino left Liverpool two years ago today with 14 goals and three winners’ medals to his name. He also left having been labelled a ‘manager’s dream’ by his boss Jurgen Klopp as a £15.5m move to Monaco was confirmed, with the Reds more than doubling their money on a player brought up for just £7m in January 2020. It was a transfer that generated much excitement, both within the fan base and Klopp’s playing squad, but looking back, it was one that did not truly work out. It was never easy for Minamino at Anfield, with there always a…
It was a dominant performance from Marcelo Bielsa’s outfit and reaffirmed when they are quietly being tipped for glory to win the Copa America. They blitzed beyond Bolivia with Nunez’s performance catching the eye. El Observador gave the ex-Benfica marksman an 8/10 and commented: “Another who performed tremendously. He converted in his seventh consecutive game and even missed some more situations. However, he always loved her and always complicated her.” Meanwhile, El Pais wrote on Nunez’s display: “Incisive, dangerous and putting a lot of pressure on the defenders, although the main one must have been in the definition since he…
It has been a difficult year so far for former Liverpool starlet Jordan Lussey. The Reds Under-18s captain during his time with the Academy, the 29-year-old now plies his trade in non-league and was most recently in the books of Marine. A Liverpool Senior Cup winner with Marine last year, the midfielder even scored in their penalty shootout win over Runcorn Linnets in the 2023 final to help his side get their hands on the trophy. However, there was to be no repeat for Lussey when Marine defended the title against City of Liverpool in April. Likewise, he was not…
It’s all rather quiet on the transfer front at Liverpool. With Jurgen Klopp having departed and FSG building Anfield’s infrastructure back up brick by newly-made brick, supporters would be forgiven for questioning the tumbleweed skittering across the red of Merseyside. Michael Edwards, moreover, is back, though this time in a bigger, broader, more influential role as FSG’s CEO of Football. The transfer-orchestrating mastermind returned with the aroma of thrilling market movements, but all is currently quiet. Is this a problem? A concern? In short: no. Liverpool long conducted their business surreptitiously with Edwards involved and an exciting incoming will likely…
