There’s been a lot of talk recently linking Liverpool with a move for Raphinha. Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari recently claimed the Reds were ‘leading the race’ ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City.  A lot of people have taken that with a pinch of salt. Why wouldn’t you? After all, why would an Italian journalist...

Liverpool kept their Champions League qualification hopes alive with a 4-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Chelsea losing at home to Arsenal last night boosted the Reds' chances of a top-four finish, provided they kept their good form alive and they duly obliged with a superb performance. A brace from Roberto Firmino and further...

For a team reportedly not in a position to add an attacker this summer, Liverpool are being linked with a lot of forwards.  The most persistent one seems to be to Donyell Malen. The 22-year-old is having the season of his career with 24 goals and seven assists across the Eredivisie and Europa League for...

By all accounts, Divock Origi's time at Liverpool will come to an end in this summer's transfer window.

Let's face it, Roberto Firmino -- at least in front of goal -- has regressed as a player over the course of the last two seasons. From a record high 0f 15 Premier League goals in the 2017/2018 season, the Brazilian's numbers have steadily dropped and he finds himself on eight league goals this season,...

By all accounts, Liverpool will focus much of their transfer efforts this summer on signing a forward. With question marks over the futures of Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi, the Reds seem primed to recruit a squad player who can compete with -- and not replace -- Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Diogo...

Liverpool won 1-0 at the Mollineux as they strung together back to back victories and clean sheets for the first time since beating Wolves and Ajax, last December. Jürgen Klopp named an unchanged team, following his side's victory against RB Leipzig. Most significantly, this meant Fabinho played as the no.6 and Jota as the no.9. Liverpool's...
