The importance of Virgil Van Dijk

Earlier on in pre-season, Liverpool journalists claimed Ibrahima Konate was likely going to start the season alongside Joel Matip in defence. It was something of a surprise to see Virgil van Dijk named alongside the former Schalke man in the starting XI against Norwich City on Saturday. He'd come through the friendlies unscathed but it...

When Is The Right Time To Sign a Forward

Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah, Sadie Mane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Marco Reus. Above are just some of the former undervalued assets, or former prospects that were able to reach the pinnacle of football.

Takumi Minamino – Time To Make His Mark?

Each and every summer, there’s a few squad members that will inevitably be linked with moves away. At Liverpool, and certainly under the management of Jurgen Klopp, this is no different. After a season of frustration, no fans and a last ditch run for Champions League qualification, there are the usual suspects that may...

Liverpool Now The Favourites to Sign Renato Sanches

Liverpool may have had a quiet summer transfer period so far, but all of that could be set to change. This is because there are ongoing rumours that Renato Sanches could be on his way to Anfield.

A winning start in the Premier League is crucial for Liverpool: can they do it?

It's been a month since Gianluigi Donnarumma dived to save Bukayo Saka’s penalty, denying England the chance to win the Euros.

Why Liverpool need to sell Xherdan Shaqiri

  Liverpool now need to sell Xherdan Shaqiri. Previously, it felt as though this was more of a want. Well, not even that. It was more along the line of the club not being against cashing in on the Swizterland international if a decent enough bid was received.  There’d be a report every summer claiming £20million...

Liverpool’s Divock Origi conundrum

The Divock Origi situation is interesting.  Liverpool are believed to want £20million for the Belgium international.

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk says he is "doing very well" as injury rehabilitation continues for the centre-back. The Reds' talismanic defender returned for 20 minutes of action, along with Joe Gomez, against Hertha BSC last week. Both players will be hoping for some more minutes when Liverpool play Italian side, Bologna, in two separate...

Who is Liverpool transfer target Arnaut Danjuma?

Shopping in the Championship isn’t as frowned upon as it once was. There have been plenty of success stories in recent years. Furthermore, Liverpool have made a bit of a habit out of signing players from recently relegated clubs so moving for a player direct from England’s second tier isn’t beyond the realms of...

Fabinho – A World Class Extension

Extending contracts within a transfer window can be underwhelming for many fans. The need to see a marquee signing arrive can become obsessive, to the point of panic. The new shiny toy can be marvelled at, but we must never forget those who got Liverpool to where they are, and where they strive to...
