Popular pundit heaps praise on 22-year-old Liverpool star – ‘He could play anywhere’
Trent Alexander-Arnold was handed a midfield role for his country against Andorra yesterday. The Liverpool full-back is blessed with exceptional passing range and vision. Jurgen Klopp has often been urged to use the 22-year-old in the midfield and Gareth Southgate gave him the opportunity to showcase his qualities in the middle of the park for England. Popular pundit Gary Lineker reacted to the decision and heaped praise on the young full-back on social media. The former England striker tweeted that Alexander-Arnold has the quality to play anywhere across the pitch and he needs to be a part of the England squad going forward. He could play anywhere.

‘Complete lack of common sense’ – Some NUFC fans react to injury blow ahead of Man Utd clash
Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson picked up a thigh injury against Southampton last weekend and it appears that the striker could be sidelined for a number of weeks as per Shields Gazette. Since joining the club from Bournemouth for a fee of around £20 million last summer, Wilson has been a key player for Newcastle and his absence will be a devastating blow for Steve Bruce and his side. The Magpies are desperately lacking in goals and Wilson has been a star performer for them. He scored 12 goals for them in the Premier League last season. Bruce failed to bring in adequate cover upfront during the summer transfer window and the decision could prove to be costly for Newcastle. Wilson struggled with hamstring problems last season and signing another striker as a backup option should have...
‘Bright future’ – Kieran Trippier drools over ‘unbelievable’ £25m Liverpool target

Bellingham started the match for England against Andorra on Sunday, and Trippier was full of praise for the youngster. The Atletico Madrid full-back has hailed him as an “unbelievable talent”, and said that Bellingham has got a bright future. Trippier said after the game: “For such a young age you see the maturity from him – the way he plays for his club and country. And he has shown tonight the energy he has got, and the quality. “He is an unbelievable talent. For such a young age, for sure he has got a bright future ah...
Everton held talks to sign £35m ace this summer, player’s agent confirms
Dutch international midfielder Donny van de Beek has had a torrid time at Old Trafford since his £35 million move from Ajax. The 24-year-old playmaker has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and most of his appearances for Manchester United have come as a substitute. The player’s agent has now revealed that he spoke to Everton regarding a summer transfer towards the end of the window but the Premier League giants blocked Van de Beek’s exit. Van de Beek’s agent Guido Albers also confirmed that he received a call from Solskjaer who informed him that transfer is out of the question. The player’s agent said (via The Athletic): “Cristiano arrived on Friday which we knew was bad news for us. “(Paul) Pogba plays on the left, and with Cristiano’s arrival...
Naomi Osaka Announces Indefinite Break From Tennis
At a post-match interview at the U.S. Open last week, Naomi Osaka said a tearful goodbye to the sport. The decision seemed to be perpetuated by her the defending champion’s stunning loss to Leyla Fernandez. The loss was a surprising ending to her first Grand Slam back from withdrawing from the French Open and Wimbledon earlier this year due to mental health concerns. After her US Open defeat, Osaka spoke to the press about the sport she has dominated time and time again for many years. Osaka admits that her journey has become joyless, experiencing relief following her victories and sadness after losses. Towards the end of the interview, she speaks possibly her last public words in a tennis press event for the foreseeable future. “This is very hard to articulate. Basically, I feel like I’m ...

And some woman in the Philippines offered me $7 million dollars [USD] for one ...
Max Verstappen Regains F1 Championship Lead Following Home Grand Prix Victory
Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen has regained the lead in the drivers’ championship following a victory at his home Grand Prix at Zandvoort in front of his Orange Army. Starting the race from pole position — which he earned without actually using DRS — the Dutch driver led pretty much the entire race except for his early pitstops when Valtteri Bottas briefly took the lead. Despite being forced to use a set of hard tires after a second early pitstop to fight off a gaining Lewis Hamilton racing on grippier medium tires, Verstappen managed to hold his main rival of the season off until the chequered flag, winning the first Dutch Grand Prix since 1985. The victory gave him enough points to overtake Hamilton once again in the drivers’ championship, now leading the Brit by three points. “As...
Report: Liverpool eye January swoop for ‘incredible’ £125m ace available for bargain fee
Liverpool are interested in signing Valencia ace Carlos Soler in January according to a report from Fichajes. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp only signed one player in the summer. The German brought Ibrahima Konate to Anfield from RB Leipzig for around £35 million (BBC). It could be argued that the Liverpool manager failed to strengthen the weakest part of his team, however. Having lost Gini Wijnaldum to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, Klopp is probably one short in the middle of the park. And it seems as though the German has identified a player who he believes will help solve that particular issue.
