Did £20m man make a huge error by joining Leeds instead of Tottenham?
Robin Koch ended up joining Leeds rather than Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2020. Perhaps the 25-year-old is now wishing that he had joined Tottenham rather than Leeds, however. The German has endured a tough time at Elland Road. He is currently out injured and has made just 18 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side. Robin Koch in action for Leeds – Copyright: xMartinxRickettx 61671313 Koch joined the Whites from Freiburg in the summer of 2020 for around £20 million. The west Yorkshire outfit beat Spurs to his signature (The Sun). The German has had some real shockers for Leeds, however. He is by far an automatic selection in Bielsa’s starting XI. Things could have been very different had he joined Spurs instead. Will Koch regret choosing Leeds over Tottenham? Spurs look like a very go...

‘Performance for the ages’, ‘Absolutely brilliant’ – Some Scotland fans hail Celtic star’s Int’l display
Scotland picked up a vital 1-0 win over Austria in the World Cup qualifiers last night. Lyndon Dykes scored the only goal of the game to keep his country on course for a World Cup playoff spot and Steve Clarke will be delighted with the performance of his players in general. Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor put in an assured display at the heart of Scotland’s midfield and his disciplined performance allowed his teammates to shine as well. McGregor dictated the tempo of the game with his tidy passing and his defensive contribution allowed the likes of Gilmour and McGinn to operate with more freedom. The Celtic ace has been criticised for his performances at club level this season but he seemed back to his best against Austria yesterday. It remains to be seen whether he can replicate these ...
Ibrahima Konaté on Football, Fans and Signing for Liverpool
It’s easy to overlook that Ibrahima Konaté is just 22. Already in his young career, the French defender has moved from France to Germany, where he played with RB Leipzig, before signing for Liverpool earlier this year. As well as taking his career to a new level, the move to Liverpool united him with Virgil Van Dijk, the club’s talismanic defender and a player Konaté has been likened to in the past. “Virgil is incredible,” Konaté tells HYPEBEAST. “I can’t wait to play alongside him and learn from him. He’s truly one of the best in the world in that position.“ Getting to link up with Van Dijk is the latest development of Konaté’s promising career, the pinnacle of which so far is his move to Liverpool. “When my brother told me, I didn’t believe him at first,” Konaté says of the moment he lea...
‘What a star’, ‘Our Sergio Aguero’ – Some Liverpool fans drool over 24-yr-old’s Int’l dislpay
Portugal picked up a 3-0 win over Azerbaijan in the World Cup qualifiers last night and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota put on a splendid display for his country. The 24-year-old has started the season in excellent form for club and country and he chipped in with a goal and assist against Azerbaijan. Jota caused all sorts of problems for Azerbaijan with his clever link-up play and runs into the box. The Portuguese international worked hard and created chances for his teammates with his flair and movement as well. The Liverpool attacker has scored in two of their three Premier League games so far as well and fans will be hoping for more of the same when the Reds take on Leeds United this weekend. Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino is currently sidelined with an injury and the Portuguese intern...

Arsenal could sign 25-year-old Spurs target if £100k-per-week player leaves the club – report
Arsenal could move for Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana in the next transfer window, according to reports from Goal. The report claims that Serie A giants Inter Milan have joined the race to sign the Ajax goalkeeper who has less than 12 months left on his current contract. The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham have shown interest in the Cameroon international, but they couldn’t make a move for him due to the player’s doping ban. The ban has since been reduced on appeal and the 25-year-old will be able to play from November. However, Ajax are aware they are set to lose the goalkeeper for nothing next summer and are now looking to offload him in January. The report adds that Arsenal could look to sign him in January if Bernd Leno leaves the club. Leno, who is on £100k-per-week wages at the club...
‘Something more’ – Liverpool star makes bold claim about Leeds ahead of ER clash
Liverpool will travel to Elland Road to face Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United at the weekend, and Fabinho is already relishing the challenge. The Reds midfielder expects tough competition from the Whites and has suggested that the atmosphere could help them, although it’s an away game. The Brazilian has suggested that it is not easy to play against Leeds and that the home fans will be demanding “something more” from Bielsa’s side. “Leeds are a really intense team, a really good team. We played there last year without supporters and without fans in it was really tough. It was a tough game, it was 1-1,” said Fabinho to the club official website. “We know their qualities and I think with the fans it will be something more for them. But, as I said, almost all the games are hard and tough in ...
