  Liverpool are reportedly fighting with Barcelona to sign a player who has been likened to Mohamed Salah this summer. Mohamed Salah will be staying at Liverpool this summer. However, that does not mean that the club will not be bringing in another offensive reinforcement. The reality is that just because Salah will be staying at the club, does not mean all of the club’s other attackers will as well. Most notably, Luis Diaz has also been linked with a move away, and it’s possible that he could be sold on. If that’s the case, Liverpool will need to bring in a left-winger, and it seems they are fighting with Barcelona for the perfect fit. Liverpool transfer latest about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia There are plenty of profiles Liverpool could target this summer, but perhaps the one who would make the most sense is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. He’s a special player with the ability to take players on in one vs one situations, and who also has a proven track record at the highest level of the game....

 Manchester City have the Premier League title race in their own hands but know any slip-up will allow Arsenal the chance to take the title themselves. It's not an exaggeration to characterise Manchester City's methodical approach to the Premier League title race as entirely different to that of Arsenal and Liverpool. While City have been here and done it before, they know exactly what is needed to block out the noise and focus only on the next game. The bigger picture will take care of itself, and Pep Guardiola only thinks about the title and trophies when they are within sight. He will dismiss questions early in the season, telling his players only to put themselves in a position every spring to be able to compete for the end-of-season trophies. After that, it's game-by-game, and the trophies tend to follow. There is simply more fanfare when it comes to the attempts of Liverpool and Arsenal to usurp City. Arsenal were criticised for their perceived over-the-top celebratio...

There are two reasons why Michael Edwards will be wanting to keep Mohamed Salah at Liverpool this summer.  Despite Mohamed Salah’s poor run of form of late, Liverpool will be looking to keep the Egyptian winger in the club’s ranks next season. That is according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, who claims Liverpool expect Salah to stay at the club next season. It may be a bit of a surprise given Salah is 32-years-old and has just one year left on his contract. However, it’s a choice that makes complete sense for Liverpool. For two reasons in particular. The two reasons why Michael Edwards will want to keep Mohamed Salah It seems even a little bit bizarre to consider selling Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian is still one of the best players in world football. Sure, his form may have dipped a little bit since his injury, but prior to that he was at the peak of his powers. He’s still keeping his body in peak condition, and it makes no sense to get rid of him just yet. Especially if Liverpoo...

 The latest Arsenal and Tottenham news as Premier League clubs are meeting on Monday to discuss a change in financial rules that could come in for the 2025/26 season. Arsenal and Tottenham are said to be two of the teams thinking of backing the new proposed financial rules that Premier League clubs will discuss today. The new reported rule would see a salary cap introduced on an 'anchoring' system. It would cap the amount of money that clubs are able to spend on transfer fees, wages, and agent fees to a multiple of the TV revenue earned by the bottom club. It is reported that the proposed figure is five times what the bottom club earns. If passed, it could be introduced for the start of the 2025/26 season. The proposed rules would make the league more competitive, which could lead to some of the top six clubs voting against it, especially as those in UEFA competition would also have to abide by UEFA’s spending rules. However, BBC Sport’s Dan Roan has claimed that Arsenal and To...

 Kai Havertz has now achieved something that only Alexis Sanchez has done at Arsenal in the last seven years. The German forward has not exactly wowed in west London, and many questioned where he would fit into this Arsenal squad. However, despite a rough start at the Emirates Stadium, Havertz is currently proving many people wrong. The 24-year-old has dominated Arsenal’s attack in recent months, and his goal-scoring record has helped them keep up with Manchester City in the championship fight. Havertz Breaks New Record At Arsenal Indeed, Havertz has eight goals and five assists in his previous 11 Premier League appearances for Arsenal. His most recent goal came in yesterday’s North London Derby, which Arsenal won 3-2 despite a scare in the second half. It turned out to be the game-winning goal. TBR Football claims Havertz persevered despite being sick throughout yesterday’s derby, according to Arteta, who also praised the forward for a “sensational” performance. Only Alexis Sanche...

 Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham are about to start a six-game run that will determine where exactly they finish in the 2023/24 Premier League table as they chase Champions League qualification Ange Postecoglou will be looking to bring Arsenal's impressive away form to an end on Sunday afternoon Sunday's North London Derby against Arsenal will see Tottenham embark on a six-game run that will determine their final position in the 2023/24 Premier League table. Falling away from European contention one year ago following a poor run of results, Spurs are very much in the mix for a return to the Champions League this time around. Currently fifth in the Premier League table and six points behind Aston Villa in fourth, Tottenham have two games in hand still to play over their top-four rivals and that could make all the difference come the final day. Ange Postecoglou is certainly going to need his team to replicate their early-season form in what remains of the campaign as they do fac...

  Arne Slot could look to splash the cash at Liverpool over the summer . Arne Slot could look to shake up the Liverpool ranks this summer Arne Slot will be keen to stamp his authority on Liverpool this summer, despite inheriting an already-talented squad from Jurgen Klopp. The Feyenoord boss has revealed that he is keen to take over at Anfield over the summer, and he may already have one eye on who he would like to sign. Express Sport takes a look at how the Dutchman’s Liverpool team could line up in the 2024/25 campaign… Alisson Becker It is hard to imagine any new manager snubbing the opportunity to work with Alisson. The Brazil international remains one of the best in the business and is capable of playing out from the back with ease. A goalkeeper signing may be required though, with Caoimhin Kelleher attracting interest from around Europe. Defence: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Willian Pacho, Rayan Ait-Nouri A left-footed centre-back is likely to remain a transfer pr...

 Jurgen Klopp pushed for Liverpool to sign Darwin Nunez rather than the 26-year-old attacker the Reds’ recruitment team actually recommended. Darwin Nunez is coming in for criticism after Liverpool suffered another big blow to their Premier League title hopes, with the Reds losing the Merseyside derby on Wednesday. Nunez threw away a golden chance while Liverpool were 1-0 down, and it was a similar story in the recent loss to Crystal Palace when the Uruguayan firing a shot straight at Dean Henderson from close range. The 24-year-old has definitely shown glimpses of his quality during his time at Anfield, scoring 33 goals in 92 games in all competitions. But when you consider that the Reds spent £85 million on the striker, it is definitely fair to say that he is yet to fully vindicate Jurgen Klopp‘s faith. Interestingly, it appears that Klopp put his foot down in deciding that Liverpool should pursue a deal for Nunez in 2022. According to a report from The Times, Klopp pushed for Li...

 Liverpool's once-promising season has taken a turn, moving from the possibility of winning a quadruple under Jurgen Klopp to now pinning hopes on the Carabao Cup as their sole chance for silverware. The Reds' recent string of setbacks began with a heart-wrenching exit from the FA Cup, sealed by a last-gasp goal from Amad Diallo. Subsequently, defeats to Atalanta in the Europa League and a slump in Premier League form have decreased their title prospects, despite an earlier lead in the standings. According to CaughtOffside, Reacting on their recent woes, Klopp pointed to missed opportunities in previous fixtures, notably against Manchester United. "It’s long ago now but I blame the Manchester United game a little when you play really well, with all those chances and don’t get anything for it," Klopp said, stating the team's struggles to convert chances into goals. Despite the gloomy outlook, Klopp remains steadfast, refusing to concede defeat prematurely. However,...

  Arsenal's defensive stalwart Gabriel Magalhaes faced a concerning moment during the match against Chelsea, raising fears of a new injury setback just ahead of the crucial North London Derby, according to Football.London. The Brazilian center-back, who had been instrumental in Arsenal's recent form, signaled distress to the bench, mouthing the words 'my ankle' after a robust challenge near the corner flag. With only 15 minutes remaining, it seemed Gabriel might have to be substituted, with Jakub Kiwior ready to step in. However, after receiving immediate medical attention, he bravely continued on the pitch. Arsenal's hopes for the upcoming clash with Tottenham hinge significantly on Gabriel's fitness, as his presence has been pivotal in their defensive solidity. Meanwhile, Arsenal's tactical substitution saw the talented Bukayo Saka taken off, affording him much-needed rest following a demanding period on the field. The decision came as Arsenal already enjo...

 Liverpool are starting to get serious in their attempts to hire Jurgen Klopp’s replacement. There are now just five games left of Klopp’s reign with the Reds. That will become four once this evening’s Merseyside Derby is done and dusted. As a result, Liverpool are not far out from being without someone in charge of the first-team squad. Things need to move fast. Thankfully, it now finally looks as though they are. The Reds have taken their time – and ruled out some pretty big names in the process – but it looks like it’s all coming together at Anfield. And as updates slowly start to filter through about who the new man could be, it seems that one manager is already house-hunting in the Liverpool area. Arne Slot convinced he’s set to become Liverpool boss Throughout the process of deliberation over who should follow Klopp at Liverpool, FSG have seemingly remained calm. Choosing the successor to the Reds most loved and trophy-laden manager of the modern era was never going to be eas...

 Liverpool’s legendary chapter under Jurgen Klopp will soon come to a close and it’s going to be an emotional ending. Everyone associated with the club is desperate that it ends with the team lifting the Premier League title, but they will now need some favours from others for that to happen in May. One of Jurgen Klopp’s biggest strengths during his time as Liverpool manager is how he has developed players and taken them to the next level. From big-money stars purchased via the transfer market, bargain buys or if they are coming through the academy. Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are just some of the players who can proudly say that they have transformed into world-class stars. All three played a key role in Liverpool winning every trophy possible under Klopp’s stewardship, including the Premier League title after a three-decade wait. But now it’s time for the new manager to come in – and whether it’s Arne Slot or somebody else – they will have a very di...

  Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images There’s yet another twist in the tale in Liverpool’s pursuit of a new manager. The Reds have been on the lookout for a new boss since Jurgen Klopp announced in January that he would be leaving the club at the end of this season. Liverpool have been linked with about a dozen managers since, but their top target, Xabi Alonso, decided against moving to Anfield. The man who was next in line, Ruben Amorim, now appears to be an unlikely candidate as well, and that has thrown a spanner in the works. If Liverpool can’t get Amorim this summer, they will have to look elsewhere, and a report has now claimed that they are prepared to intensify their pursuit of a Premier League manager. Klopp is a big fan of him too. Liverpool Thomas Frank Jurgen Klopp Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images Liverpool’s board want Premier League manager if Ruben Amorim snubs them The Liverpool job is both, the most attractive and the most difficult one to take this summer. Ju...

 Michael Ball tackles the big issues at Goodison Park ahead of the Merseyside Derby Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp exchanges words with an Everton ball boy after a 0-0 draw in the Merseyside Derby in 2019. Jurgen Klopp is crossing Stanley Park and coming to Goodison Park for the final time as Liverpool manager and Everton need to make life as difficult as possible for him and his team even though it’s a fine line and you don’t want the occasion to get to you. Klopp has never lost a game at Goodison Park but he’s only won two games there and Liverpool won’t be looking forward to going there. When Klopp first came to England, he tried to bring these occasions down and make out it wasn’t going to bother him too much but history has shown with the antics he’s produced in the fixture, running on to the pitch at Anfield and then his exchange of words with the Goodison ball boy, it does matter to him. He can say what he likes but Merseyside Derbies can bring out the best or the worst in y...

 Trent Alexander-Arnold is starting to find form again after a recent injury layoff Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool F.C.) warms-up during the Europa League football match between Atalanta and Liverpool at Gewiss Stadium The setting of Craven Cottage was, with respect, a somewhat low-key venue for Trent Alexander-Arnold's latest impressive milestone. Having seen Harvey Elliott's attempt to go under the wall from a promising free-kick situation just moments earlier, Alexander-Arnold showed his younger colleague just exactly how it is really done from a dead-ball, curling over the assembly of Fulham players instead to put Liverpool 1-0 up on the day. It was a stunning set-piece that showcased everything great about the wand that is seemingly attached to the end of the vice-captain's right leg and having seen a wonderful effort taken off him and given to Bernd Leno as own goal in the corresponding fixture at Anfield in December, there was no disputing this one. "Bernd as...

 Arsenal will be aiming to extend their lead at the top when they take on Chelsea on Tuesday night with Jurrien Timber edging closer to his return from a lengthy injury lay off. Mikel Arteta is seeking to end Arsenal's wait for a league title Arsenal went back to the top of the Premier League on Saturday night as the games continue to come thick and fast. The Gunners bounced back from successive defeats to win at Wolves and attention will now turn to their clash with London rivals Chelsea. The Blues have been well under par this term, but have it in them to cause problems for the title chasers. Mikel Arteta knows his side can ill-afford to drop points with Manchester City and Liverpool for company at the top. League success is Arsenal's only hope of landing silverware with the north Londoners having the chance to go three clear at the summit on Tuesday night.Here's the latest from the Emirates. Jose mocks Arteta tactics Jose Mourinho has claimed that the defensive tactics e...

  Chris Sutton has shared his Merseyside derby prediction as Liverpool prepare to make the short journey to Goodison Park to take on Everton on Wednesday. It is going to be a fascinating battle this week which will have implications at both ends of the Premier League table. Liverpool got back to winning ways by beating Fulham on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp‘s side desperately needed the three points at Craven Cottage after Arsenal had won the previous day. That result came shortly after Everton secured a huge victory in their battle to stay in the Premier League. Goals in either half saw Sean Dyche‘s men beat fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest 2-0. Chris Sutton predicts Everton vs Liverpool result That result has taken Everton five points clear of the bottom three with five games to go. Another victory will surely take the Toffees to the brink of safety. The form book often goes out the window for a game such as this. But Chris Sutton has told BBC Sport that he sees Jurgen Klopp’s side ed...

  Marco Silva manager of Fulham reacts during the Premier League match between Fulham FC and Liverpool FC at Craven Cottage on April 21, 2024 in London, England.  Just about everyone was surprised when the Liverpool line-up came out. It seems Fulham boss Marco Silva was no exception. Jürgen Klopp chose to omit Mohamed Salah from the front line, while also resting the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Ibrahima Konaté. That comes amid a brutal sequence of away fixtures for Liverpool (albeit the midweek trip is only as far as Goodison Park). It was undoubtedly a gamble, with Liverpool needing a win to stay alive in the title race. But perhaps it would have been just as much of a risk to keep things the same, after four games where the 'highlight' was an uninspiring 1-0 win over Atalanta that only served to confirm a 3-1 aggregate defeat. Salah has been disappointing over that sequence of results, and while Klopp could legitimately point to fixture congestion to explain his decisio...

Theo Squires analysis after Liverpool get their Premier League bid back on track with a 3-1 win at Fulham. Ryan Gravenberch celebrates Harvey Elliott after putting Liverpool back in front against Fulham Klopp’s gambles pay off Eyebrows were perhaps raised when the Liverpool team sheet dropped on Sunday as Jurgen Klopp made five changes to the side that beat Atalanta and a number of ‘big-hitters’ dropped out. With a Premier League title challenge at stakes, supporters could be forgiven for feeling perplexed. It was a ‘weaker’ side but there was a method in the madness. All the players withheld were either fatigued or out of form, having just returned from injury or been overplayed in the interim. Too often in recent weeks had such names put in below-par showings. Klopp’s faith in his rotated options was rewarded as Liverpool ran out 3-1 winners. Post-match, he would insist his selection was no gamble as his starting players showed why. In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch netted his first Prem...

Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Arsenal made a fortunate choice by opting for the "brilliant" Leandro Trossard over Mkyhailo Mudryk, according to Sky Sports. Trossard's opening goal in Arsenal's 2-0 victory against Wolves propelled them to the top of the Premier League, albeit having played more games than Manchester City. His impressive goal helped ease the tension at Molineux, with Martin Odegaard securing the win with a late goal. Despite not always being in Mikel Arteta's starting lineup, Trossard has made a significant impact since joining Arsenal from Brighton in January 2023. Especially when you factor in that he wasn't Arteta's initial preference, with Arsenal actively pursuing Mudryk for months before abandoning the deal due to Shakhtar Donetsk's excessive fee demands. Chelsea then secured the Ukrainian for a staggering £88 million, yet he has only managed to score six goals and provide four assists in 51 games for the Blues. ‘If my mind serve...

 Latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours as the Reds are linked with several new additions in the summer window ahead of Jurgen Klopp's departure from Anfield. Federico Chiesa is being linked again with a move to Liverpool Liverpool face a busy summer in the transfer window as they begin life after Jurgen Klopp. The Reds remain in a thrilling title race with Arsenal and Manchester City as they look to end their German manager's time at Anfield on a high. Klopp's side could go level on points with the Gunners if they secure all three points at Fulham on Sunday. Amid FSG's difficult task of appointing a successor to Klopp, they will also be planning on making changes to the club's playing squad. Recent reports have claimed that Liverpool are interested in Porto midfielder Alan Varela. And Argentine journalist Luis Fregossi has now claimed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the Reds are willing to pay around £60million for the midfielder. Elsewhere, Catalan publi...

 Simon Jordan shuts down the Liverpool boss idea as FSG released a new shortlist. Jurgen Klopp is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season after nine years in the dugout Simon Jordan has rejected claims that Thomas Tuchel should succeed Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager. Xabi Alonso was associated with the potential vacancy at Anfield before agreeing to Bayer Leverkusen, thus the Reds have forced to broaden their hunt for a new head coach. Tuchel has been mentioned as a prospective manager candidate, with Ruben Amorim, Roberto De Zerbi, and Julian Nagelsmann. In February, Bayern Munich announced that the former Chelsea manager would depart the Allianz Arena at the end of the season, becoming a free agent. Despite his impressive credentials, Jordan does not think Tuchel has what it takes to follow Klopp. Speaking on talkSPORT, the former Crystal Palace owner stated, “I would not see it.” I wouldn’t see it from a coaching perspective. “He (Klopp) got involved, mostly through h...
