Liverpool appear to have found their Bobby Firmino replacement in Cody Gakpo judging by Jurgen Klopp’s private comments to the player. The former PSV attacker shared details of his conversation with the German tactician in January, in which the former was credited with sharing similar traits to the Reds’ ‘insane’ (Echo) ex-No.9. “I feel very […]

Harvey Elliott scored one of the standout goals of the international break with a long-range belter against Serbia U21s. The Liverpool midfielder put the young Lions 3-0 up in the second-half with a special strike from outside the box. Bearing in mind the limited number of minutes the 20-year-old is getting at club football, it’s […]

Liverpool are reportedly keeping an eye on Boca Juniors’ Valentin Barco along with Juventus, Manchester City and Brighton, say Calciomercato (via Sport Witness). The 19-year-old fullback – who can also play on the left of the midfield and as a left-sided winger – has already earmarked himself as one of the most exciting young talents […]

Liverpool could provide fierce competition for Leroy Sane’s signature this summer. It has been suggested that Jurgen Klopp may feel inclined to bring the German back to the Premier League according to Sky Germany (as relayed by Sport Witness). It’s news that won’t be welcomed by decision-makers at Manchester City judging by Christian Falk’s report […]

Erling Haaland has confirmed online that he will miss Sunday’s international meeting between Norway and Scotland. The Manchester City forward shared the relevant post on x (formerly Twitter), a week ahead of the return of domestic football and a Premier League tie with Liverpool. Unfortunately, I am missing tomorrow’s game against Scotland. Wishing the boys […]

You’d have to think the chances of Liverpool sanctioning Mo Salah’s exit this January are so slim as to be negligible. Fabrizio Romano certainly can’t see the Egyptian departing Anfield in the upcoming window, with a summer switch less complicated by comparison. “In January I see him staying, absolutely. I see him staying, I see […]

Caoimhin Kelleher has been advised that he’s unlikely to ever get ahead of Alisson Becker without the Brazilian suffering an injury. That shouldn’t shock many readers at Empire of the Kop given our No.1’s status as arguably the leading goalkeeper in world football. With that in mind, Darren Randolph has advised our second-choice Irish stopper […]

We could yet see a more lenient punishment levelled against Manchester City, even should all 115 charges against the club be proven correct. Hypothetically, however, just how far back would a points deduction go if – according to the logic of Everton’s 10-point deduction for one financial breach – the Sky Blues were to be […]

Liverpool reportedly still hold Andre Trindade in high regard, with the player ticking ‘a lot of boxes’. Football Insider reports that Fluminense would be prepared to accept a £30m offer for the midfielder in January. Despite claims to the contrary, the Reds’ resolve will surely be tested at such a low price should they still […]

Andre Trindade may have been on the losing side in Brazil’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of Colombia but he’ll have still impressed Liverpool fans with one moment. With Luis Diaz bearing down on goal in the first-half of action at the Metropolitano Roberto Melendez Stadium, the Fluminense midfielder made a last-ditch tackle to deny the […]

Emotions were understandably raw as footage captured Luis Diaz’s father joyously celebrating his son’s match-winning goals against Brazil. It had been an extremely trying time for the family, with Luis Manuel Diaz Jimenez recently freed after being held hostage by the ELN for almost two weeks. Carl Markham now reports on X that Liverpool have […]

Timing a signing perfectly can allow a club to not only capitalise on talent to make an immediate impact but also save a fair chunk of change. Liverpool might struggle in that joint aim when it comes to Archie Gray, however. The Anfield-linked talent, currently valued by Leeds between £30m-40m, is reportedly expected to sign […]

Liverpool’s quest for a left-footed centre-back could lead them to make a big ploy for Goncalo Inacio’s signature. Spanish outlet Nacional (via Paisley Gates) now reports that the Reds would be prepared to offer the 22-year-old defender a starting role in the team to persuade him over alternative suitors. This comes amid alleged interest from […]

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marcus Rashford are born to dislike each other and despite playing for the same national side, the pair were still finding a way to tackle each other. After our No.66 played a brilliant pass to the Manchester United man, he failed to capitalise on it and make much of the chance. READ […]

Virgil van Dijk has denied that being awarded the Liverpool captaincy has a ‘negative impact’ on his game and instead believes wearing the armband is ‘more of an incentive’.
