What to do with a problem like Darwin Nunez? The Liverpool striker has evoked every emotion available to the Reds fanbase, wowing and winding up with equal measure as he catches the eye and misses the net. The Uruguay international is a singular player, capable of sending a frisson of excitement and a frisson of fear through his own support with equal measure, blessed with influential prancing in the danger area and afflicted by inexcusable profligacy in front of goal. The transfer window is around the corner, looming like a rumbling storm over yonder, and while Arne Slot will arrive…

There will be changes at Liverpool this summer, but as Jürgen Klopp embarks on a lap of honor at Anfield after the final match of the season against Wolves, at least two others who won’t get the same limelight will also be waving goodbye. Thiago Alcântara and Joël Matip are both out of contract — as is 37-year-old goalkeeper Adrián — and the pair, both comfortably into their 30s, have barely played this season because of injury. Thiago, in particular, has been brutally ravaged by issue after issue during the period since he arrived from Bayern Munich. “When Thiago is…

Kylian Mbappé has finally confirmed he will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The France captain is out of contract at the end of the season and will play his last match at the Parc des Princes this weekend against Toulouse. Mbappé’s future has been the source of much speculation for the past 12 months after he was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid last summer. Liverpool has held a long-standing interest in the 25-year-old, dating back to his time at Monaco. In a clip posted to PSG fans on his social media channels, Mbappé said: “I have always…

Chelsea ‘want to sell’ Borussia Dortmund loanee Ian Maatsen, but the German side faces a round of negotiations as the Champions League finalists refuse to pay the £35million release clause for the Dutch left-back, journalist Ben Jacobs has told GIVEMESPORT. Maatsen has enjoyed a successful spell at Dortmund after leaving Chelsea on loan in the January transfer window. He was instrumental in the club’s success in the Champions League this season as Dortmund eliminated the French champions Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on aggregate in the semi-final. The 22-year-old had made just 16 appearances for Chelsea after joining the club in 2018.…

Mauricio Pochettino’s side did not have any European football to contend with this season but are currently sat in seventh place and only two points behind Newcastle United in sixth place. This…

Manchester City will be looking to break an all-time English football record when they travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime. The Citizens have strengthened their pursuit of an unprecedented fourth consecutive title after putting together an impressive 20-game unbeaten run in the top flight, including 16 wins and four draws.

And Guardiola has been boosted by having a full squad to choose from at Craven Cottage, with no injury concerns going into Saturday’s game. The champions will also be brimming with confidence after thrashing Wolves 5-1 at…

One of the issues facing Arne Slot – if as expected it is the Dutchman who takes over from Jurgen Klopp in the Liverpool dugout – is what he does with some of the club’s long-serving but ageing talents? Does he stand in Mo Salah‘s way, should the ‘Egyptian King’ opt to defect his throne and move into a new palace in Saudi Arabia? Does Slot feel that Andy Robertson, a veteran of so many trophies, should remain Liverpool’s first-choice left-back after an injury-hit campaign? As for Virgil van Dijk, while the Dutchman is as totemic as ever, is it…
