Liverpool right-back Ryan McLaughlin has joined Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen on loan, as revealed in the Liverpool Echo. The 20-year-old, who missed the back end of last season for the Under-21s through injury, will remain with the Dons until January in an attempt to get first-team football under his belt. McLaughlin’s most recent loan move […]
Fenerbahce are close to the loan signing of Liverpool’s attacking midfielder Lazar Markovic, reports Dominic King of the Mail. The Serbian arrived at Anfield from Benfica for £20m last summer but struggled to live up to that price tag throughout his first year on Merseyside. Markovic, 21, scored in the opening minutes of the Reds’ […]
Liverpool are about to add another youngster to their ranks, with James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo reporting that 18-year-old striker Taiwo Awoniyi is soon to arrive. The Nigerian – who has represented his country at Under-15, Under-17, Under-20 and Under-23 levels – will join from Imperial Academy before being sent on a season-long loan. […]
Liverpool will be buoyant going into Saturday’s game with West Ham United, having acquitted themselves brilliantly at Arsenal on Monday night. The Hammers, on the other hand, may not be in such a good mood, despite them toppling Arsene Wenger’s side less than three weeks ago. The East Londoners have lost back-to-back home games in […]
Liverpool battled to a 0-0 draw away at Arsenal on Monday night; a much better result than the 4-1 drubbing the Reds took on the same ground last season. One point might have been three for the Reds, but Petr Cech kept goal heroically in the first half, tipping one Philippe Coutinho shot onto the […]
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says that the decision to let Christian Benteke’s goal against Bournemouth stand was “excellent” – even though the Premier League admitted that Philippe Coutinho should have been flagged offside. Referee Craig Pawson pointed towards the centre circle after the Belgian’s 26th minute close-range effort, which assistant Harry Lennard deemed fair despite […]
Liverpool look to maintain their perfect start to the season on Monday night, but at the Emirates Stadium, against Arsenal, it will be far from easy. I spoke with Renato, of social media fame, to get a bit of insight into how Gunners fans are feeling ahead of the contest. Arsenal have a superb record […]
Having been the subject of bids from Bayer Leverkusen and Roma, and with doubts over whether he would stay on Merseyside, Mamadou Sakho has been offered a new long-term contract at Liverpool. The Guardian report that the Frenchman, who has been left out of the 18-man squad for the Reds’ first two Premier League fixtures, […]
Joao Carlos Teixeira was pleased to get on the pitch, and the scoresheet, in Liverpool Under-21s’ mini-derby thriller with Everton on Wednesday night. The Portuguese midfielder scored the second of the Reds’ three first half goals, and delivered an all-round impressive display on a night in which Michael Beale’s side squandered a three-goal lead against their Merseyside […]
Turkish outfit Besiktas have approached Liverpool in an attempt to sign Lucas Leiva on loan, according to NTV Spor. The report claims that the Black Eagles have been put off by the Reds’ €7m asking price for the Brazilian midfielder, so will instead look to bring him in on a temporary basis. The Istanbul-based club […]
Liverpool’s first home game of the 2015-16 season ended in victory, but a far from convincing one. Christian Benteke’s first half strike was enough to secure the points for the Reds, but in truth the Belgian was fortunate that his poacher’s effort stood, as Philippe Coutinho was offside when Jordan Henderson delivered the cross. Here’s […]
Liverpool’s first home fixture of the Premier League season takes place on Monday night, as newly-promoted Bournemouth make the trip to Merseyside. To gauge the feeling among Bournemouth supporters heading into the game, I spoke with journalist, writer, broadcaster, columnist and Cherries fan Tom Latchem. I can imagine it still feels quite surreal to be […]
