Report suggests Liverpool have ‘concrete’ interest in 23-yr-old Premier League ace
Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes. The 23-year-old has developed into a key player for the Foxes and has the potential to improve further. The Reds could definitely use a technically gifted creator like him who can operate in a wide role and centrally. He bagged 13 goals and four assists across all competitions last season. According to The Athletic, Barnes has a contract until 2024, but Leicester are looking to reward him with a fresh four-year deal. The Reds have ‘concrete’ interest in the player, but they are yet to make a formal approach to sign him. It is fair to assume that Liverpool may have to shell out a premium to secure his services. However, Barnes is yet to reach his peak and would have plenty of time to justify a significant ou...

‘A joy to watch’ – Some Newcastle fans hail 24-yr-old’s performance despite 4-2 defeat
Newcastle United will be disappointed with their 4-2 defeat against West Ham United yesterday. The Magpies started the game with an early goal from Callum Wilson and despite conceding an equaliser they managed to secure the lead once again through Jacob Murphy. Newcastle were undoubtedly the better team in the first half and they were in control of the game. However, their performance levels dipped considerably in the second half and it would be fair to say that the Magpies threw the game away. Steve Bruce’s side looked vulnerable at the back during the second half of the game and West Ham punished them multiple times on the counter-attack. The only positive from Newcastle’s performance yesterday was the display of Allan Saint-Maximin. Allan Saint-Maximin in the first half for Newcastle vs...
