Liverpool ready to table £40m+ January bid to sign "strong" Barcelona star

After missing out on Marc Guehi on deadline day, Liverpool are reportedly ready to table a January offer to sign a Barcelona alternative for Arne Slot.

Slot admits "lot to improve" after Atletico Madrid win

If you were to ask Liverpool what their perfect set of results would look like after five games, then 15 points from a possible 15 in all competitions would be their answer.

Ask them about their ideal performances in that time, however, and they’re unlikely to request five last-gasp winners. Nonetheless, somehow, Anfield’s late show has rolled on.

Slot drops early hint about Isak's likely Liverpool role against Everton

He surprised the Liverpool boss…

ByTom Cunningham Sep 18, 2025

This time, it was Virgil van Dijk who stepped up – heading home in the 92nd minute to hand Liverpool a deserved 3-2 victory against Atletico Madrid. Alas, for all the positives in arguably their best performance of the season so far, Slot admitted that there’s still a “lot to improve”.

Whether things would have been different from a defensive standpoint if Liverpool’s move for Guehi crossed the line on deadline day is certainly something to ponder.

Without the Crystal Palace captain, the Reds’ biggest weakness comes courtesy of their depth at centre-back and that may well be something they solve with an alternative option in January.

Liverpool ready to table £40m Araujo offer

According to reports in Spain, Liverpool are now ready to table an offer to sign Ronald Araujo in January. The Barcelona defender has lost his place in Hansi Flick’s side and the Reds are reportedly willing to submit a bid for his signature worth €50m (£43m) when the winter window arrives.

Whether the Catalan club accept that offer is the big question. Given their constant state of financial chaos and the fact that Araujo has lost his starting place, the defender could be an asset that they’re willing to let go at the right price. Meanwhile, compared to Guehi, there’s no denying that the 26-year-old has the ability to compete for a place at Anfield.

Described as “strong” by Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, Araujo could become quite the coup at just over £40m. The defender has plenty of experience at the very top level and could instantly translate that to the Premier League by completing a January switch to Liverpool.

Batters fire before rain-hit match is tied

Phoebe Franklin, Kira Chathli share unbroken stand of 72 off 35 before Lauren Winfield-Hill’s quick 49

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay06-Jul-2025Surrey 159 for 5 (Franklin 48*, Chathli 44*, Gray 2-18) tied with Essex 93 for 5 (Winfield-Hill 49, Chatterji 2-12, Harris 2-22) DLS methodPhoebe Franklin and Kira Chathli shared an explosive unbroken partnership of 72 from 35 balls as Surrey and Essex fought out a dramatic rain-affected tie in the Vitality Blast.The home side slumped to 45 for 4 at the Kia Oval, with former Surrey seamer Eva Gray taking 2 for 18 before Franklin, with an unbeaten 48 from 23 and Chathli (44 not out from 38) reinvigorated their innings.That late recovery, with the last four overs yielding almost 60, enabled Surrey to post 159 for 5, but rain during the interval left Essex to chase an amended target of 94 from 10 overs instead.Lauren Winfield-Hill’s pugnacious 49 from 27 kept the visitors firmly in the hunt but, with two needed off the final ball, Jo Gardner was run out coming back for the second and the spoils were shared.Depleted by England call-ups, the home side drafted in Hampshire youngster Rachel King on loan for her debut as Bryony Smith’s opening partner and the pair added 25 from four overs after being put in.But both openers departed in similar fashion, snicking behind as they misjudged the pace of the ball and Surrey were floundering after Gardner’s throw from extra cover ran out Alice Monaghan and Grace Harris was caught in the deep for a second-ball duck.Chathli and Alice Davidson-Richards, with 21 from as many balls, rebuilt the innings with a stand of 42 from 40 and, although Gray tempted the latter to hole out to deep midwicket, Surrey maintained their impetus.With Essex beginning to lose their way during the death overs, Chathli shrewdly picked out gaps in the field while Franklin’s powerful hitting propelled the home side above the 150 mark.Successive sixes off Sophia Smale in the final over enabled Franklin to outscore her partner and finish with a flourish, but the downpour between innings ensured a drastically revised equation.Essex’s hopes were dented when Priyanaz Chatterji had Lissy MacLeod caught at backward point with her first delivery, but Winfield-Hill went on the offensive immediately, plundering a trio of consecutive fours off Kalea Moore.The opener found the rope with regularity, dominating her second-wicket partnership of 54 from 33 with Maddie Penna, only to miss out on a second half-century of the tournament as she skied Chatterji (2 for 12) to long off.Penna (22 from 19) and Cordelia Griffith took up the baton following Winfield-Hill’s departure, but both fell to Harris (two for 22) in the final over before Franklin’s accurate throw to the keeper left Gardner short and denied Essex victory.

Pujara 'quite surprised' by Fleming's 'no home advantage' comment

“…at CSK you can’t complain, it’s one franchise where they’ve been preparing pitches according to their strengths,” Pujara said

ESPNcricinfo staff29-Mar-20252:54

How did CSK lose a home game by such a big margin?

Cheteshwar Pujara, former Chennai Super Kings player, is “quite surprised” at Stephen Fleming’s remark that they’ve been offered “no home advantage” at Chepauk. That said, Pujara felt Friday’s surface for the game between CSK and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) offered more help for spinners in the second innings, while the ball “skidded on a bit more” in the first half while CSK bowled.”It is [surprising] because at CSK you can’t complain, it’s one franchise where they’ve been preparing pitches according to their strengths,” Pujara said on ESPNcricinfo’s TimeOut after RCB handed CSK their biggest home defeat, by 50 runs, to make it two wins in two. “You should [use home advantage]; if he’s saying that [there is no home advantage] they don’t have a say, then I’m quite surprised.”If you speak about MI, CSK, KKR – I don’t think that’s the case [them not getting pitches they ask for]. Any other franchise, I can still understand. Those [three] franchises make sure they get what they want. Their strength has been when they play at home.”Related

Spellbinding Hazlewood and RCB conquer Chepauk and CSK

One of the big talking points in CSK’s chase was their tactic of batting Sam Curran ahead of Shivam Dube, and R Ashwin ahead of MS Dhoni, who came in at No. 9 with the chase seemingly dead, with CSK needing 98 off 28. Dhoni finished with 30 off 16, thanks mainly to the 16 runs (two sixes and a four) he hit off Krunal Pandya in the final over with CSK needing 67.”There is a lot of concern [in the batting line-up outside of Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad] because their middle order will have to click at some point,” Pujara said. “They will have to start scoring runs quickly. They rely heavily on their middle order.”Yes, their top order is their strength, but when they don’t perform well that’s the time the middle order has to step up, it doesn’t look like they’re completely ready for it. It looks like they’ll need better surfaces to get back into form and when they start playing at home again, they’ll be able to perform well.”Pujara felt more than the loss, it was CSK’s manner of defeat that was hurtful. “There’s a lot to learn for CSK,” he said. “I’ve been part of the franchise. If you’re a CSK fan, you’d really be disappointed today. You tend to lose, but the way they lost this game will put a lot of dents in the dressing room.”‘Conway for Curran and Dube batting higher’Nick Knight, the former England opener, felt CSK have tried to fix something that wasn’t broken by separating a “tried-and-tested” opening pair in Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. Gaikwad has batted at No. 3 in the first two matches, with Rahul Tripathi opening with Rachin Ravindra. In both games so far, Gaikwad has come out to bat in the second over.2:12

Fleming: We haven’t been able to read the Chepauk pitches

“In my top order, I’d have Devon Conway. I’m surprised he’s not playing,” Knight said. “I’d play both of them [Conway and Rachin]. I’m going to leave Sam Curran out. I just feel that Gaikwad and Conway at the top is tried and tested. I’m not saying it’s right by any means, but when you look at it – Conway has a terrific record.”Rachin can bat at No. 3, more than capable. And you work down from there. The only thing about that is Dhoni may have to bat at No. 7, which he’s sometimes reluctant to do, sometimes wants to bat lower than that. He’s made 30 of 16, effected a brilliant stumping, I’d encourage them to get him to No. 7.”The other aspect to CSK’s batting Knight felt needed an immediate rethink was Dube’s role. On Friday, Dube came in at No. 6, below Curran and made 19 off 15. Dube has shown a propensity to takedown spin – he strikes at 169.71 against this variety since IPL 2023. This facet was one of their X factors during CSK’s run to the title in 2023.”Why was Dube not batting higher? I was stunned when he came out ahead of Curran,” Knight said. “They were so far behind the game at that point, they needed something to get them impetus, energy in their run chase and Dube was just held back. I saw him smash the England attack a couple of month ago [in a T20I series], coming in as a replacement player.”If that guy can’t do that in this tournament, I must be seeing things slightly different. For me, Dube could be the man to take this opportunity and boss the middle overs, and boss the middle section of that innings and take his game forward and take the team forward. If you go Conway, Gaikwad, Ravindra, Hooda, Dube, Jadeja, Dhoni – that’s a decent line-up.”

Burns, Smith, Sibley push Surrey into first-innings lead

Trio of half-centuries from England batters put hosts in strong position

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay26-Apr-2025

Jamie Smith joined Surrey’s run-scorers•Getty Images for Surrey CCC

Rory Burns was one of three Surrey half-centurions as the defending champions took a first-innings lead against visitors Somerset on day two at the Kia Oval.The Brown Caps skipper struck 10 boundaries in a fluent 76, sharing a first-wicket stand of 129 with fellow former England opener Dom Sibley (53), who passed 50 for the fifth time in six innings this season.England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith was the third to reach his half-ton with 58 as the hosts reached 321 for 7 at stumps.Somerset’s bowlers recovered from a morning where they bowled too full a length, skipper Lewis Gregory leading the way with three for 46, including a double strike with the second new ball, as four wicket fell in the final sessionHaving bowled out Somerset for 283 on the cusp of stumps on day one, Burns and Sibley enjoyed a morning of dominance as they begun Surrey’s reply.Save for the odd ball which bounced a little for those bowling from the Vauxhall End and the odd lbw shout, Burns moved serenely along, Somerset’s bowlers guilty of straying onto the pads too often to feed his trademark shot through mid-wicket. In fact, anything pitched up was quickly seized on by the 34 year-old left-hander as he raced to 50 from 77 balls.As ever Sibley’s progress was sedate but rock solid, the pair reaching lunch one short of the century stand.If anything, Burns looked even better post lunch, driving with authority to move into the 70s and he appeared destined for a century before Josh Davey produced the ball of the day to remove him.Bowling around the wicket, Davey extracted bounce and while Burns did everything right, trying to drop his hands, the ball followed him and smacked off the top glove for Kasey Aldridge to pouch the catch at slip.Ollie Pope didn’t detain us for long, bowled by skipper Gregory trying to cut a ball too close to him, but Smith came out bristling with aggression and began with a flurry of boundaries.Sibley, the rock around whom others express themselves became barnacle-like even by his standards, failing to hit a boundary after lunch.He reached a fifth 50 in 151 balls, but even he ran out of patience, uncharacteristically charging England spinner Jack Leach and being beaten in the flight. His ugly wahoo failed to make contact and he’d have been stumped had the ball not cannoned into the stumps.The deceleration was catching with Smith slowly grinding to a halt despite his continued best efforts to hit the cover off the ball. He too would make it to his half-century before his innings ended tamely a mis-timed pull off Aldridge only travelling as far as Gregory at mid-on.By this stage Ben Foakes was in flow, the diminutive wicketkeeper employing his wristy shots to good effect, sending successive deliveries from Leach to the fence at point. However, with 50 in sight he was undone by a beauty from back of a length by Gregory with the second new ball which nipped between bat and pad to pluck out the off-stump.There was further reward for Gregory when Ryan Patel fell cheaply to a superbly judged tumbling catch at long-leg by Leach and Jordan Clark edged behind before the close to limit the home side’s advantage.

Celtic keen on signing "clinical" star in possible Idah repeat

Celtic have just under three months left to improve their squad before the summer transfer window, which officially opens on Friday, slams shut at the end of August.

The Hoops ended the 2023/24 campaign with two pieces of silverware added to the cabinet as they won the Scottish Premiership title and the SFA Cup.

It was a solid return to the dugout at Parkhead for Brendan Rodgers, who replaced Ange Postecoglou last summer, as the Northern Irish boss ensured that the club's dominance in the league continued for a third straight year.

The former Leicester City boss may, however, now look to push on and achieve more in Europe after a dismal campaign in the Champions League.

Celtic finished rock bottom of their group, below Lazio, Feyenoord, and Atletico Madrid, and could hope for more success in the new structure next term, which will see them play eight games against eight different teams – half at Parkhead and half way – in the league phase to qualify for the knockouts.

Rodgers could now dip into the market to improve his squad in order to push on and achieve better results in Europe, and the Scottish giants are already reportedly looking to add a new number nine to the team.

Celtic's interest in Championship star

According to the Bristol Post, the Hoops are one of a number of teams interested in a possible swoop to sign Bristol City centre-forward Tommy Conway.

Rodgers is eyeing up a potential deal to sign the Scotland international to bolster his attacking options in the final third, but is set to face competition to land his signature.

The report claims that Glasgow rivals Rangers and Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers are also keen on the young marksman ahead of next season.

Tommy Conway for Bristol City.

It does not, however, state how much the Robins are set to demand for his services this summer, with his contract currently set to expire next year.

The Bristol Post reveals that the Championship side are open to offers for the 21-year-old attacker as they do not want to risk losing him for a small compensation fee in 2025.

It states that Rangers and Celtic would only have to pay £300k in compensation if they swooped to sign Conway when his contract expires next summer.

Rodgers could now repeat the blinder he played with the signing of Adam Idah in January by securing a deal for the Bristol City ace, whether that is in the current window or for £300k next year.

Celtic's Adam Idah masterclass

The Scottish giants sealed a late swoop to snap up the Ireland international on loan from English Championship side Norwich City on deadline day at the start of February earlier this year.

Rodgers plucked the 6 foot 3 marksman up from the second tier of football in England and it turned out to be a masterclass from the Northern Irish boss.

The Canaries academy graduate hit the ground running in Scotland and proved himself to be a lethal goalscorer in the Premiership in his short time with the Bhoys.

Idah had scored six goals in 28 Championship appearances for Norwich, starting 12 of those games, during the first half of the season, and outperformed his xG (5.83) in the process.

He carried that finishing quality over to the Premiership with a return of eight goals from 6.86 xG. Of players at Celtic during the second half of the campaign, only Matt O'Riley (18 goals from 14.86 xG) overperformed his expected tally by more than the Yellows loanee.

As you can see in the table above, Idah was more prolific than Kyogo Furuhashi in the Scottish top-flight as he found the back of the net more frequently and efficiently.

These statistics show that the loan signing was a huge success for the Hoops, which was backed up by his winning goal in the SFA Cup final against Rangers at Hampden Park in his last appearance.

Rodgers could now repeat that trick by dipping back into the Championship market to seal a deal for Conway ahead of the Gers and Wolves this summer.

Why Tommy Conway could be Adam Idah 2.0

Much like Idah, Conway is a young centre-forward with room to grow and improve, which means that the Bhoys boss could work to develop him on the training ground.

At the age of 21, the Bristol City starlet, who was once dubbed "clinical" by Statman Dave, would come in as a long-term signing as well as a player who has the quality to make an immediate impact on the pitch.

Tommy Conway celebrates for Bristol City.

The big difference, however, would be that the Scottish youngster would come in on a permanent deal, rather than a loan, and this would give the boss more time to improve the right-footed ace.

The talented whiz is in the Scotland squad for Euro 2024 this summer and that could give supporters, and the club, an opportunity to see how he performs on one of the biggest stages, to see if he would be up to the task of leading the line at Parkhead.

Conway's form in the Championship for the Robins this season does, however, suggest that the potential is there for him to be even better than Idah for the Scottish giants.

As you can see in the table above, the 6 foot 1 star outperformed his xG by more than the Irishman did for the Canaries, which shows that the finishing quality is there for him to be ruthless in front of goal in a Hoops shirt.

This shows that the club could repeat the blinder they played with the Yellows forward as they could land another impressive, young, finisher from the English second tier to light up the Premiership next season.

Conway could, therefore, be a fantastic alternative to Idah, who Football Insider claimed is set to be assessed by new Norwich boss Johannes Hoff Thorup before they make a decision on his future, amid interest from Celtic.

Mikel Arteta claims Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze pursuit wasn’t motivated by Kai Havertz injury after beating Tottenham to Crystal Palace star

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has dismissed suggestions that the Gunners’ swoop for Eberechi Eze was triggered by Kai Havertz’s injury setback. The north London side moved quickly to finalise a £60 million deal for the Crystal Palace star, beating Tottenham to his signature, but Arteta stressed the transfer had been long in the making and not a reaction to recent fitness concerns.

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Arteta confirmed Havertz will miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against Leeds due to a knee problem, though his recovery timeframe remains unclear. Reports suggested Eze’s arrival was accelerated following the news, with the player absent from Crystal Palace’s Conference League qualifier on Thursday. Eze has reportedly already completed his medical but is thought to have missed the deadline to make his debut this weekend.

    WHAT ARTETA SAID

    Speaking to the media, Arteta said: “Obviously, we were very active trying to look at the possibilities that could come. We are not reacting to anything; we’ve been very prepared and understanding what we could do, and we have decided this is the moment to do it.”

    “We are showing the ambition that we are here to win major trophies and to keep evolving and improving every single year, and that comes with demands, and those demands are clear. And we want to be in front in the league, not just chasing or reacting or being behind, but in front of it, and every decision that we make in every area of the club is to achieve that.”

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Eze is set to become Arsenal’s seventh summer signing, taking their total outlay to £250 million. His arrival follows the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi, underlining the Gunners’ determination to assemble a title-winning squad. The 26-year-old England international leaves Palace after being their talisman and adds further creativity to Arteta’s midfield.

Leeds hit the jackpot on “monster” who’s now worth 3x more than Phillips

Leeds United have been blessed in the forward positions this season in the Championship as they strive for an immediate return to the Premier League, with the likes of Crysencio Summerville and Daniel James terrorising second tier defences for fun.

Combined, the Dutchman and the Welshman have scored an impressive 31 goals in all competitions operating down the flanks as tricky and slick wingers.

That's before the dazzling nature of Georginio Rutter is even mentioned, the Frenchman starring for large portions of this season as a creative force with a staggering 18 assists this campaign in total.

But, it's with the ex-Feyenoord winger where Leeds have really hit the jackpot considering they once paid a measly sum of £1.3m to get a far younger and raw Summerville in through the door in 2020.

Crysencio Summerville's time at Leeds

Summerville has been something of a slow burner, but this season in particular, it's fair to say the 22-year-old attacker has exploded into life for Farke's men.

Before 2023/24, Summerville had only scored five goals and contributed with a further three assists across three campaigns.

Now, as a crucial first-team presence however, the electric Whites number ten has 17 goals and eight assists just this season with Farke hopeful that his star's continued excellence can steer Leeds back to the promised land of the Premier League.

It's why Summerville has been labelled as being a "monster" for the automatic promotion candidates, given that tag by football analyst Ben Mattinson late last year.

It's made the £1.3m Leeds paid to tempt the Dutchman over to England four years ago look like an absolute bargain, particularly when you evaluate the hefty price tag the Whites have now put above Summerville's head amidst transfer rumours linking with him a major switch away from Elland Road.

Leeds United'sCrysencioSummerville

Crysencio Summerville's transfer value in 2024

Leeds now value their star man at £45m, according to a report from Football Transfers, which sees the dynamic winger come in now as being worth three times what former Whites legend Kalvin Phillips is currently worth struggling out on loan at West Ham United.

Whilst Summerville's value has skyrocketed, it's fair to say Phillips' own worth has fallen off a cliff ever since he decided to relocate to Manchester City.

Market Movers

Football FanCast's Market Movers series explores the changing landscape of the modern transfer market. How much is your club's star player or biggest flop worth today?

According to FootballTransfers, Phillips is now worth just €15.5M (£13.2m) which pales into insignificance contrasted with Summerville's bumped-up price from the powers that be at Leeds.

In the current Leeds squad, the one-time Whites icon would find himself way down the list of the most valued assets at Farke's disposal.

Illan Meslier, Ethan Ampadu and Wilfried Gnonto all boast higher worths now than Phillips, alongside the in-demand Dutch forward.

Leeds' highest value players – 2023/24

1. Illan Meslier

€24.2m (£20.6m)

2. Ethan Ampadu

€23.9m (£20.4m)

3. Wilfried Gnonto

€20.3m (£17.3m)

4. Archie Gray

€19.8m (£16.9m)

5. Crysencio Summerville

€17.9m (£15.3m)

Sourced by Football Transfers

Scanning the table above, with the knowledge that Leeds now want £45m to even begin thinking about parting ways with their 22-year-old gem, Summerville would be the most valued asset by some distance in the Whites camp.

West Ham midfielder Kalvin Phillips

Summerville's future in a Leeds shirt could really come down to whether or not the West Yorkshire club clinch promotion back to the top flight or fail in their mission, but with how rocky Phillips' career has been since departing Leeds to show the grass isn't always greener, the agile 5 foot 9 forward shouldn't leap into whatever deal first comes his way.

Isso porque, segundo avaliação feita em entrevista coletiva por Gustavo Florentín, o desempenho da equipe ao longo do confronto foi suficiente para o time sair de campo com a vitória. Sendo que, na questão dos erros de finalização, ele detectou o principal problema da equipe.

Apesar do tom de lamentação, o treinador paraguaio que fez sua estreia no banco de reservas da equipe exaltou a disciplina tática de seus comandados mesmo na situação adversa de 11 contra 10:

– Criamos boas oportunidades. Antes dos 10 minutos, tivemos três oportunidades de gol. Faltou melhor eficácia para aproveitar. No segundo tempo, continuamos no mesmo ritmo, criando chances. Acho que merecíamos mais que o empate. Foi uma partida muito boa. Do início ao final, o time se manteve organizado taticamente, com muita atitude e sentimento em busca da vitória. Assim, criamos chances de gol, mas temos que melhorar a finalização. Gostei da capacidade do time querer ganhar o jogo.

A próxima chance que Florentín e seus comandados terão de acabarem com o jejum de vitórias que dura cinco partidas será no dia 13 de setembro quando o Leão da Ilha recebe, pela 20ª Rodada do Brasileirão, o Internacional.
