Portugal picked up a 3-0 win over Azerbaijan in the World Cup qualifiers last night and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota put on a splendid display for his country. The 24-year-old has started the season in excellent form for club and country and he chipped in with a goal and assist against Azerbaijan. Jota caused all sorts of problems for Azerbaijan with his clever link-up play and runs into the box. The Portuguese international worked hard and created chances for his teammates with his flair and movement as well. The Liverpool attacker has scored in two of their three Premier League games so far as well and fans will be hoping for more of the same when the Reds take on Leeds United this weekend. Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino is currently sidelined with an injury and the Portuguese intern...
Liverpool will travel to Elland Road to face Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United at the weekend, and Fabinho is already relishing the challenge. The Reds midfielder expects tough competition from the Whites and has suggested that the atmosphere could help them, although it’s an away game. The Brazilian has suggested that it is not easy to play against Leeds and that the home fans will be demanding “something more” from Bielsa’s side. “Leeds are a really intense team, a really good team. We played there last year without supporters and without fans in it was really tough. It was a tough game, it was 1-1,” said Fabinho to the club official website. “We know their qualities and I think with the fans it will be something more for them. But, as I said, almost all the games are hard and tough in ...

Bellingham put up an impressive performance during England’s 4-0 win over Andorra on Sunday, and he was praised heavily by Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier. The 18-year-old is widely considered as one of the best young talents in world football, and he was simply outstanding last season for Dortmund.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp may well regret deciding against signing Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus during the summer transfer window. The Reds made just one summer signing – Ibrahima Konaté from RB Leipzig for around £35 million. It could be argued that Klopp failed to strengthen the area in most need of attention at Anfield, however. Gini Wijnaldum left Liverpool to join Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer in the summer. And Klopp deciding against replacing the Dutchman in the end. We think that could turn out to be a big error. Klopp may regret not signing Florian Neuhaus According to a report from The Sunday Mirror (September 5th, page 62), the 24-year-old Gladbach ace had his heart set on a move to Anfield. And the Bundesliga club were keen to sell hi...
Trent Alexander-Arnold was handed a midfield role for his country against Andorra yesterday. The Liverpool full-back is blessed with exceptional passing range and vision. Jurgen Klopp has often been urged to use the 22-year-old in the midfield and Gareth Southgate gave him the opportunity to showcase his qualities in the middle of the park for England. Popular pundit Gary Lineker reacted to the decision and heaped praise on the young full-back on social media. The former England striker tweeted that Alexander-Arnold has the quality to play anywhere across the pitch and he needs to be a part of the England squad going forward. He could play anywhere.

Liverpool are interested in signing Valencia ace Carlos Soler in January according to a report from Fichajes. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp only signed one player in the summer. The German brought Ibrahima Konate to Anfield from RB Leipzig for around £35 million (BBC). It could be argued that the Liverpool manager failed to strengthen the weakest part of his team, however. Having lost Gini Wijnaldum to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, Klopp is probably one short in the middle of the park. And it seems as though the German has identified a player who he believes will help solve that particular issue. Liverpool manager Jurgen Kloppis allegedly eyeing a move to sign Valencia ace Carlos Soler – Copyright: xPaulxEllisx 61369484 Liverpool eyeing January Carlos Soler swoop The Valencia ...

Liverpool have now joined the race to sign Franck Kessie from AC Milan, according to journalist Rudy Galetti. The summer transfer window is over, but clubs around the world are always busy behind the scene to secure targets for the next window. Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur was heavily linked with a move for Kessie this summer, but the north London club couldn’t secure a deal for him. Earlier this week, we covered a report that claimed Spurs are ready to offer Kessie up to an €8 million (£6.9m) per year contract in order to secure his signature in January. The 24-year-old will be a free agent next summer, and several clubs are keen to add him to their squad. Galetti claims that Liverpool have joined the race to sign Kessie as well.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Declan Rice next summer, according to reports from 90 mins. Rice has already rejected several contract extension offers as he wants to move elsewhere to win trophies. The 22-year-old is arguably West Ham’s most consistent performer in the past few years, and David Moyes has made it very clear that he would not even sell him if a £100 million offer came their way for him. Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Rice, but it seems the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are also vying for his signature next summer. Rice is happy to sign a contract at West Ham provided it has a release clause in it. However, West Ham do not have such internal policies of inserting a buy-out clause, and talks of a new deal are u...
Gary Neville has suggested that something about Liverpool is not right. The popular Sky Sports pundit feels that Liverpool remain one of the strong contenders this season, but has suggested that the lack of signings could cost them the league title. The former Manchester United defender notes that something is not right about the Reds this season, although it is hard to pinpoint what is that x-factor that’s lacking. Neville has hailed Jurgen Klopp’s impact, saying the former Borussia Dortmund boss is doing an “unbelievable job” with the resources but feels that he hasn’t been backed in the transfer market. “I was at the game on Saturday, Liverpool v Chelsea, and I said after the game – sometimes you can’t put your finger on it [but] something’s not right,” said Neville to Webby &...
