Fabinho wants Liverpool contract talks after rejecting ‘top Spanish club’
Getty Images Fabinho and Liverpool will begin talks soon over a contract extension. The Brazilian has become an integral part of Jurgen Klopp’s side, which has won the Champions League and Premier League since he arrived. And reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano says that while Fabinho rejected an offer from a ‘top club in Spain’ last summer, he wants to extend his stay at Anfield. Romano told his Here We Go podcast: “Talks are going to start for Fabinho to extend his contract with Liverpool. It is the same situation [as] Van Dijk, they have the same contract, so two years [remaining] with Liverpool. “Fabinho wants to extend his contract with Liverpool. He [gave] an interview explaining he is so happy with Liverpool, but he’s also so happy for the future of Liverpool; [he has been] talking...
Adrian raves about Liverpool teammate Fabinho
Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian has raved about Fabinho on the club’s official website. Adrian has been impressed by how Fabinho has done in central defence in the absence of Virgil van Dijk. Van Dijk is one of the best centre-backs in the world, but the Netherlands international could miss the rest of the season due to the injury he suffered against Everton in the Merseyside derby last weekend, as reported by The Guardian. Fabinho, who is a defensive midfielder by trade, slotted in at centre-back for the defending Premier League champions’ opening Champions League Group D game against Ajax away from home in Amsterdam on Wednesday evening. Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian was impressed with the display produced by Fabinho in midweek, as the Reds won 1-0. Adrian told Liverpool’s official website abo...
Liverpool players react on Twitter to Europa League win vs Ajax
Premier League champions Liverpool get off to a winning start against Ajax in the Champions League group stage opening game on Wednesday night. An own goal from Nicolas Tagliafico meant Liverpool returned home from Johan Cruijff Arena with full points. Jurgen Klopp’s side were left to bare bones in defence following the loss of talisman Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip, but they did enough to leave Amsterdam with a clean sheet. Ajax did test Liverpool, and there were nervy moments at the back too. Adrian nearly made a big blunder with a goal kick with the shot being blocked by Dusan Tadic in the box. Fabinho produced a smart tackle to block Tadic, and later produced an acrobatic clearance to Tadic’s lob off the line. And Ajax looked to exploit any weakness out of possession by...
Arsenal beat Liverpool on penalties to lift FA Community Shield
Arsenal beat Liverpool 5-4 on penalties on Saturday to lift the Community Shield, the curtain-raiser for the English domestic season, after the two sides played out a 1-1 draw on a chilly afternoon at Wembley. Gunners captain and match goal-scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang blasted home the final penalty of the afternoon to complete the north London side’s second win over the league champions in the space of six weeks following a shortened summer break. “We are improving. There is still work to do but I’m really happy and it’s an exciting time to be an Arsenal player,” Aubameyang told BT Sport after the match. It was the Gunners’ second trophy within a month following the side’s FA Cup final win over Chelsea on Aug. 1. The game was a very even and at times rather slow affair, with Liverpool...
Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-1 to end hopes of record points haul
Arsenal capitalised on shocking errors from Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Alisson to beat the champions 2-1 at The Emirates on Wednesday and end their hopes of a record points tally for the Premier League season. The loss means Liverpool, on 93 points, can now only stretch that tally to 99, one short of Manchester City’s record. Arsenal’s first win against Liverpool since April 2015 lifts them one place to ninth in the table on 53 points. The visitors created all the early pressure and opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Sadio Mane lashed in his 17th goal of the season from close range. Yet the home side, playing without their leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, were handed a free pass back into the game 12 minutes later when Van Dijk made a back pass straight into the path ...
