Liverpool are signing (supposedly) and selling (if you say so) and keep on working that treatment table (this one’s true) harder than any central midfielder in the top flight.
Teen talent to follow Harvey Elliott’s path?
The Reds have been linked with a few transfers on Tuesday, some rather less likely than others, some with rather less reputable sources than others.
Among the more believable – both the rumour and the outlet – are rumours suggesting Fulham attacker Fabio Carvalho is on our wishlist, with the Reds set to battle Chelsea, Southampton and Real Madrid for his signature this summer.
He’s out of contract at the end of the campaign and looks set to leave, he’s 19 years of age and reasonably versatile – we’ve seen a teenager fit that profile move from Craven Cottage to Anfield in the recent past, after all.
Still want the other one? Fine, Liverpool are after Mikel Merino as an alternative to Jude Bellingham. Did warn you.
And another? Fine, Barcelona are “silently working” on a deal to sign Mohamed Salah which Xavi wants “at all costs”, say Spanish media. Now that’s enough!
Two steps forward, one step back
- Andy Robertson looks like an injury doubt for the Arsenal match now after he exited Scotland’s match on Monday night with an apparent hamstring injury
- Curtis Jones is also still a “number of weeks” from a return to action after suffering a freak eye injury in training before the international break, further hampering Jurgen Klopp‘s ability to rotate…or indeed pick a team at this rate
- Milner, Henderson and Mane were all, thankfully, pictured in training on Tuesday – the latter two being international injury worries and the vice-skipper out from before the break. Wrap them in cotton wool!
