Liverpool have earmarked Brentford’s winger Bryan Mbeumo as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah in case he departs the club next summer, as per Fichajes. The 24-year-old suffered a lengthy ankle injury that has kept him out since early December and has missed Brentford’s last fourteen matches across all competitions.

Jamal Musiala has turned down a new deal at Bayern Munich and has eyes on a summer move to the Premier League – with Liverpool and Man City likely to be among the clubs taking an interest. The Premier League’s top two are thought to be leading the race for Musiala, according to the Daily Star, with both clubs having recently been to watch the German international play against Bayer Leverkusen.

Before we begin an unnecessary witchhunt against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, it’s important to bear in mind a few other facts about the officiating that took place. As James Pearce rightly noted on the contentious decision itself: “So much happened after [Caoimhin] Kelleher restarted the game and before the goal.” Those suggesting that Paul Tierney – for goodness sake, actually repeat the referee’s name out loud five times – was tilted towards the Reds might need to give their head a good old wobble. We’re talking about the same official Klopp has expressed concern about for quite some time now. The…

The Pittsburgh Steelers, like the other 31 teams in the NFL, have had their fair share of trouble when it comes to properly using timeouts and knowing when to throw the challenge flag. NFL fans around the world have often questioned why teams do not hire game management coordinators who have the sole job of knowing when to use timeouts and burn their challenges. Recently, the Los Angeles Rams and their Head Coach Sean McVay hired a game management coordinator to help McVay use his timeouts in ways that will best benefit the team. Steelers Should Follow In The Rams’…

NFL teams often like to keep their intentions close to themselves in the weeks leading up to the NFL Draft, but the Pittsburgh Steelers may have tipped their hand. Even before releasing Mason Cole on Friday, insiders were connecting the Steelers to top center prospects such as Oregon’s Jackson Powers-Johnson and West Virginia’s Zach Frazier. While some may argue Pittsburgh has more pressing needs, namely defensive line and more help for the secondary, center now appears to be a glaring hole on the roster. The decision to cut Cole, who had been with the team since 2022, saves $5 million…
