Report: West Ham make enquiry for 28-yr-old La Liga player Jurgen Klopp is looking at
West Ham United are interested in signing the Real Betis defender Aissa Mandi this summer. The player has been linked with Liverpool as well but recent reports (via Liverpool Echo) claim that the Hammers have asked about the player and they could make their move for the centre back in the coming months. Liverpool want him to replace Dejan Lovren in the side. The Croatian left for Zenit St Petersburg recently in order to play more often. The Reds are certainly a more attractive option than West Ham for any player but it will be interesting to see whether the player is willing to accept a backup role at Anfield. Van Dijk, Gomez and Matip are all ahead of him in the pecking order. At West Ham, he is more likely to start every week. That could tilt things in the Hammers’ favour if the player i...

Rivaldo: Philippe Coutinho could be a regular at Arsenal or Spurs

However, Coutinho’s agent revealed this week that there’s been “a lot of genuine interest” in his client over the past few months, and that he would like to secure a move back to Eng...

Predicted Liverpool starting XI: Klopp to make four changes, 25-year-old to start
Premier League champions Liverpool will face Newcastle United in the final game of the season at St James’ Park on Sunday.

Jordan Henderson is injured for this game. Joel Matip is also sidelined until the summer. Adam Lallana hasn’t featured and the club will not take the risk to jeopardise his move away on a free trans...
