Liverpool Hold 'Concrete Interest' in 20-year-old Winger

Potential Mo Replacement Liverpool reportedly hold a 'concrete interest' in PSV winger, Johan Bakayoko, according to Pete O'Rourke. The 20-year-old had been linked with a move to Anfield over the summer, but a January move for the forward is now expected. With Mohamed Salah's contract set to expire in 2025, Liverpool are expected to start looking at alternative options in the market.

Why Divock Origi still has a Part to Play

Divock Origi | Time to Shine

The transfer period is a funny and fickle time; it’s now become almost bigger than league games, where fans spend all summer concentrating on refreshing twitter feeds and reading gossip columns. There are constant debates about whomever signs the biggest and best players must be the best team, and opposition fans ridicule the teams that have not been active. With the excitement (or anger) surrounding the new addition of Sadio Mane, the fans have been talking about him, his inclusion …
