Liverpool Starlet Abe On the Mark in U-21 Draw
Liverpool look to open the Andoni Iraola Era at Anfield in a few hours with a pre-season friendly against AS Monaco and most Reds fans are likely a mix of shades of eager and anxious. Eager because each day we get closer to the season means we get to revel – and commiserate – in […]
As Stars Return Which Fringe Liverpool Players Will Still Get Minutes?
On the American preseason tour we got a chance to watch a few of the youth and some fringe players, all of which had their personal goals to achieve and for the likes of Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa it’s very much about whether their efforts will get them into new head coach Andoni Iraola’s […]
Liverpool Boss Andoni Iraola “Really Excited” for First Match at Anfield
On Sunday, for the first time under Andoni Iraola the Reds will take to the pitch at Anfield. It will only be a pre-season warm up, the club’s fourth of the summer after a brief swing through the United States that ended last weekend, but with most of the squad now ready to go after […]

Liverpool looked set to start the 2026-27 season in the midst of a defensive injury crisis with Joe Gomez freshly injured, Jeremy Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni working to return from long-term layoffs with their return dates still not certain, and only a 35-year-old Virgil van Dijk seeming a lock to be ready for opening day. […]
Liverpool Women Sign Midfielder Natalia Ramos
Liverpool Women continue to make the summer moves that will hopefully help them succeed in the WSL campaign ahead, this time adding the services of Spanish midfielder Natalia Ramos from UD Tenerife. Ramos plays primarily as a defensive midfielder and got her senior start with Tenerife, racking up 200 appearances for the club over two […]
Rumour Mongering: PSG will Reject Liverpool Opening €115M Barcola Bid
After spending half a billion on flashy new signings last summer, Liverpool somehow ended up with a thinner and more unbalanced squad than they started with. Now, after losing key veterans Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konaté, and Andy Robertson, if the 2026-27 season kicked off today they would be even weaker still. For sporting director Richard […]
Danns to Step Up Rehab Ahead of Possible Loan Move
According to reporting from Ian Doyle of the Liverpool ECHO, Liverpool FC are looking for a potential loan move for striker Jayden Danns. It is understood that the club prefer a top-level move for the striker but may need to be realistic and also consider offers from the Championship. This is due to the fitness […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Don’t Want to Sign Djed Spence, Actually
It’s always dangerous to read too much into a good World Cup. Still, if you’re a Liverpool side thin on homegrown talent with major question marks at right back and you have a chance to sign a 25-year-old England international who can also cover left back (where you also have some less major question marks) […]
Official: Mohamed Salah Signs for Trabzonspor
Today, Liverpool and Premier League legend Mohamed Salah is officially a Trabzonspor player, joining last season’s third-place Turkish Super Lig side ahead of a season that will see them playing in the Europa League while trying to close the gap on Galatasaray and Fenerbahce domestically. This wasn’t perhaps the plan. Wasn’t the expected outcome. After […]
Rumour Mongering: Spence Linked to Reds
Liverpool FC have been linked to Tottenham Hotspurs’ full-back Djed Spence. Per the Twitter/X aggregator account Anfield Sector, who seem to have sources now, the versatile full-back is receptive to the idea of a move to Liverpool. Which seems like an understatement after back to back seasons of finishing 17th. The player is primarily a […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Could Challenge Arsenal for Ezri Konsa
Liverpool ended a disappointing 2025-26 season with a thin and unbalanced squad in need of plenty of work in the off-season, and that was before key veterans Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konaté, and Andy Robertson left on free transfers. So far, they’ve only signed promising young Spanish winger Victor Muñoz. As good a player as Muñoz […]
Summer Transfer Signing Victor Muñoz Selects Liverpool Squad Number
Most fans are growing increasingly concerned this summer by the state of the Liverpool squad constructed by sporting director Richard Hughes, with just a little more than two weeks to go before the 2026-27 campaign kicks off and last season’s already thin and unbalanced team having lost veterans Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konaté, and Andy Robertson. […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Join Mbaye Chase
Folks have been wondering why Liverpool FC have been biding their time in the transfer market, and a clearer picture is starting to appear. Per reporting from French reporter Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport, Liverpool are interested in Paris Saint-Germain’s 18-year-old Sengalese winger Ibrahim Mbaye. Reporting says Liverpool want both Barcola and Mbaye, both victims […]
Nyoni Reflects on Liverpool Pre-Season Tour: “I Still Need to Keep Improving”
Arguably the main takeaway from Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the United States that wrapped up over the weekend was the way that it highlighted just how thin and unbalanced Liverpool’s squad has become under the guidance of sporting director Richard Hughes. Having ended last season in rather concerning shape, veteran stalwarts including Andy Robertson, Ibrahima […]
Rumour Mongering: Trabzonspor Agree Two-Year Mohamed Salah Deal
We’re into the first week of August and somewhat shockingly Mohamed Salah remains without a club after he and Liverpool agreed to a termination of his contract at the end of the 2025-26 season that would allow him to move on and give the legendary forward his pick up new clubs with the understanding he […]
Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s 2026 Pre-Season Tour
With the coaching staff, players, and all the crew involved returning to Merseyside following the completion of their United States pre-season tour, I thought it would be nice to sit down and share a personal analysis of how it left me feeling about the players, training, and overall impression with an eye to the 26/27 […]
Fitness Update as Preseason Winds Down
Though Joe Gomez was forced off during his first preseason appearance and will face some recovery time, head coach Andoni Iraola hopes he will be a short term absentee. Speaking back on July 30th, Iraola estimated a month absence: “Joe has a muscle injury. I think it was quite clear since he complained straight away, […]
Rumour Mongering: Tottenham Really Want Cody Gakpo (For Real, Apparently)
The idea of Cody Gakpo being a top target for Tottenham Hotspur has been floated off and on over the summer, with a smattering of reports over the weekend from Spurs-connected journos escalating things and suggesting he just might be the big transfer bomba hinted at by manager Roberto De Zerbi last week. At the […]
Official: Jordan Henderson Signs for Chelsea
In the Premier League era at least, there is no Liverpool captain who has won more than Jordan Henderson, and the Sunderland-born midfielder will forever be a club legend for leading the team to the Premier League title in 2019-20 along with winning the Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, and two League Cups. […]
Andoni Iraola Says Leeds Defeat “Probably the Most Useful Friendly”
Liverpool’s pre-season United States tour showed both promise and highlighted concerns, with new head coach Andoni Iraola starting to implement his more positive brand of football and a return of a high press and embrace of verticality to a side that had gone flat last season under Arne Slot. That was the promise. The concerns […]
Liverpool 2, Leeds United 4 – Match Recap: Don’t Get Your Hopes Up
LIVERPOOL 2 – 4 LEEDS Liverpool: Chambers 7’, Wirtz 39’Leeds: Aaronson 60’, Calvert-Lewin 71’ & 84’, Longstaff 73’ Pre-Match It’s the last of the American preseason matches today, playing in Chicago today, cloudy and with a moderate 22 degrees Celsius but 82% humidity, so who knows what kind of team we’re going to get today.
