Liverpool attacking midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri has suggested that he is fully fit and looking forward to playing in as many games as possible. With 10 games remaining in the Premier League, Liverpool need to maintain a string of winning run to boost their hopes of a top-four finish. The 29-year-old has made 12 Premier League appearances this season and has played in 12 of the Reds’ 16 fixtures since the turn of the year. He returned to full fitness after an injury-afflicted 2020 and wants to be influential and impactful in the remaining games.

Predicted Liverpool starting XI: Klopp to make just one change; 26-year-old to start
Liverpool will travel to Molineux to face Wolves in the Premier League on Monday night. After earning a morale-boosting 2-0 win over RB Leipzig (and an aggregate 4-0), the Reds will be looking to translate that form in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp’s side have been very disappointing in the league, but they can still turn it around by putting up a string of wins. The Reds have picked up just one win from their last seven Premier League games, losing six times at their home turf, Anfield. Klopp admitted in the press conference that progressing in the Champions League can help them regain their confidence, and they will be encouraged by the return of Fabinho in midfield. Roberto Firmino – who missed the game against RB Leipzig – could return against Wolves, while there are no fresh injury...
Wolves aiming to beat West Ham to signing of €15m Portuguese forward
Wolverhampton Wanderers are aiming to beat West Ham United to the signature of Valencia forward Goncalo Guedes this summer, Football Insider reports. Guedes initially joined the Spanish outfit on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 before his move was made permanent 12 months later. In his three-and-a-half seasons with the club, he has fared impressively with 20 goals and 19 assists from 124 appearances while predominantly playing on the left wing. It is now claimed that the Portuguese could be sold during the next transfer window, with owner Peter Lim having withdrawn his funding for the cash-strapped club. West Ham have been credited with an interest in Guedes, but Wolves are looking to beat them to the player’s services with their close links with Jorge Mendes. The super-age...
‘Outstanding’, ‘Deserves more’: Some Man City fans react to 30-year-old’s display vs Wolves
A selection of Manchester City fans on Twitter heaped praise on Riyad Mahrez following his impressive display against Wolverhampton Wanderers last night. The Algeria international had gone into the game in a good run of form with a goal or an assist in each of his previous three Premier League appearances. He produced another top-notch showing against Nuno’s side where he was involved in three of the four goals scored by the Cityzens. The 30-year-old produced a delightful pass in the 15th minute which led to Leandro Dendocker’s own goal as he tried to intercept the ball ahead of Raheem Sterling. Prior to the interval, Mahrez delivered a cross which was headed home by Aymeric Laporte, but the goal was chalked off by VAR for offside by the finest of margins. Wolves scored against the run of ...
19-goal striker says he is aware of Man United and Wolves transfer speculation
Eintracht Frankfurt striker Andre Silva has said that he is aware of the speculation linking him with the likes of Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Portuguese joined Frankfurt on a permanent deal from AC Milan last summer following a season-long loan with the Bundesliga outfit. The 25-year-old bagged 12 goals and four assists from 25 league games last season. He has made a drastic improvement this term with 19 goals and three assists from just 21 matches. Owing to this, he had grabbed the attention of some of Europe’s elite clubs, and United have been regularly linked with him. Meanwhile, Wolves have also been credited with an interest, given several top-class Portuguese players are already within the club’s ranks. In an interview with O Jogo, Silva said that he is aware ...
Report: Leeds target ‘willing to look for a new club’…could be available at £35m
According to reports from Eurosport, Adama Traore could leave Wolverhampton Wanderers, either in January or next summer. The 24-year-old winger – who has now gone an entire year without scoring a Premier League goal – has a contract at the club till 2023. However, despite the club’s several attempts, the contract talks haven’t gone to plans, and it has left Nuno Espirito Santo extremely frustrated. The report claims that clubs like Barcelona and Manchester City previously showed interest in him with Wolves demanding £70m. However, given his poor return in front of goal and him not making enough impact like the previous years, his value has dropped. Wolves are trying to be realistic in the transfer market and the player could be snapped up for around half that figure. Should Leeds...
‘Not surprised at all’: Rival PL manager claims Liverpool is the ‘right place’ for 24 y/o star
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo has showered heaps of praise on his former player Diogo Jota in a recent interview. The 24-year-old joined Liverpool during the summer transfer window for a reported fee of £41m from Wolves, with defender Ki-Jana Hoever moving the other way for £9m and a possible £4.5m in add-ons. Jota was a key player for Wolves and Nuno has nothing but nice words to say about his former player. He feels that Jota has made the right move by joining Liverpool and that it is the right club for him. The Portuguese winger has taken no time in settling in at his new club and was in terrific form before he picked up a knee injury. Nuno says that he is not surprised at all with how quickly Jota has adapted at his new club. He has hailed him as an ‘ama...
Wolves want Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City
Manchester City renewed Oleksander Zinchenko until 2024, but his future may not lie at the Etihad… or with a Barca team that took an interest in him months ago. According to the ‘Daily Star’, Wolves will bid for the Ukrainian player in January. Oleksander Zinchenko has always been under the magnifying glass at Manchester City. He was convincing at times as a winger and in the centre of the field. He aroused some interest from FC Barcelona in the summer. The Catalan media considered him the “favourite” for the left-back position, although the economy did not allow him to move. To this was added the fact that Zinchenko had renewed until 2024 with Manchester City. In the meantime, some are trying to take him away from City and from Barca in January. We are talking about Wolverhampton Wanderer...
On-loan Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo stars in Cardiff rout
On-loan Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo scored and weighed in with an assist as Cardiff City thumped Luton Town 4-0 in the Championship on Saturday. The Bluebirds were already 3-0 up when the wideman found the net in the 82nd minute following goals from Sean Morrison, Mark Harris and Kieffer Moore during thoroughly one-sided affair in which the hosts took a two-goal lead after nine minutes. Ojo had also contributed the assist for Harris’s ninth-minute goal—the forward’s first for the club—when he sent a fine cross from the left flank for the Wales U-21 international to dispatch with aplomb. The Anglo-Nigerian wideman then added the fourth late on, when he slammed home into the far corner after Marlon Pack’s corner was cleared into his path. Ojo impressed on the left flank—with Harry Wilson also...
Micah Richards says Liverpool winger Diogo Jota has surprised him
Micah Richards has named Liverpool winger Diogo Jota as the signing of the season in the Premier League so far, as quoted in The Daily Mail. The former Manchester City right-back, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, has been surprised by the impact Jota has already made at Liverpool. The 23-year-old Portugal international joined the defending Premier League champions from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2020 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £41 million. Richards wrote in The Daily Mail: “The fact Diogo Jota is now playing to such a level that Liverpool have deployed a front four tells you everything about his impact. Nobody was expecting this after his £41m move from Wolves.” How has Diogo Jota fared at Liverpool so far? Jota has yet to establish himself ...

Leeds 0-1 Wolves: Three talking points from Premier League
Wolverhampton Wanderers moved to sixth in the Premier League table after beating Leeds 1-0 at Elland Road on Monday night. Raul Jimenez scored the only goal of the match as Wolves secured back to back wins in the Premier League. Here are three major talking points from the game: It was like the first day of a cricket test match: There is a common saying that as a batsman you need to give the first session to the bowler, and once you soak the pressure, enjoy the next two sessions of the day. We found a similar sort of scenario here. Leeds started energetically and were at the top of their game at half time. Wolves absorbed the pressure, which allowed them to gradually settle into the game. In the second half, Wolves grew confident, found their rhythm and controlled the game well. Leed...
