Jack O'Connell: A Sturdy Liverpool Back Up
Despite the coronavirus pandemic seeing football screech to a dramatic mid-season halt, the transfer rumour mill continues to churn out stories.
Dejan Lovren, Liverpool's Croat centre-half, continues to be linked with a move to AS Roma. The Reds' number 6 was heavily linked with a move to the Italian capital last season, and --apparently keen to make the switch to the Stadio Olimpico -- the defender only remained on Merseyside owing to both clubs failing to agree a fee.

James Milner: Liverpool's Greatest Free Transfer?
I have a confession to make. I used to think James Milner was horribly average.
There was a time before his Liverpool and Man City days that I felt he represented everything wrong with English players, in particular an apparent lack of guile.
The sight of Milner consistently featuring for England seemed to sum up the Three Lions' shortcomings in major tournaments and I failed to see what others saw in him.
That was pushing a decade ago, however, and …

The Importance of Wijnaldum Extending Liverpool Stay
For the time being, footballing soap operas have taken a back step, as the world attempts to tackle the pandemic affecting the planet.
At Liverpool, talk of a potential move for Timo Werner remains a talking point, however, as does the future of Gini Wijnaldum - a player who has achieved so much since joining in surprise fashion from Newcastle back in 2016.

No matter who's signed, the front three must stay
Even though there's no football being played, and the transfer window is in limbo, the rumour mill simply doesn't stop turning.
Is Victor Osimhen a target? Should Liverpool sell Mohamed Salah? Does Jürgen Klopp want to bring fellow countryman Timo Werner into his attacking ranks?
There's never been a period of such uncertainty in world football, never mind when that period has led up to a transfer window.
But while Liverpool continue to be linked with some of the best …
3 positions Liverpool need to strengthen this summer to become invincible
Football should soon return from its current state of paralysis and Liverpool will be given the opportunity to finally wrap-up their first Premier League title.
The Reds currently sit a staggering 25 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table having lost just one of their 29 league games so it's just a matter of when, not if, Liverpool secure the title and end their 30-year drought.

The What Could Have Been Liverpool XI: The Defence
There have been several players in Liverpool's recent past who have enjoyed the best football of their careers at Anfield and inscribed themselves into the club's history with memorable performances.
Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres -- to name but three -- either spent all of their careers or, in Gerrard's case as good as, with the Reds or -- with Torres as an example -- enjoyed their career-best runs of form in a Liverpool shirt.
There have been …
Why Liverpool might be interested in Victor Osimhen
You can tell football is close to a return. Transfer rumours are slowly starting to emerge with greater regularity. The usual suspects have been on the agenda for Liverpool with Timo Werner and his release clause dominating talk. Mario Gotze and his contract situation has seen him linked with a reunion with Jurgen Klopp. But perhaps the most interesting report over recent days has been the one claiming the table toppers are interested in Lille forward Victor Osimhen.
