David Luiz One part of the infamous Nemanja Matic merry-go-round, Luiz joined Chelsea from Benfica for around €25 million in January 2011. It’s fair to say the reputation he would garner throughout his career was evident when he made his first start. Although it was a 0-0 draw against Fulham, an underwhelming result in itself,

Liverpool have gotten off to a mixed-bag start so far this campaign. A 4-3 against Arsenal is a great result, especially considering they were playing away from home.

When Liverpool’s interest in Sadio Mané became publicly known, there was a lot of debate about how the player would fare at the club.

It is now reported that freshly relegated side Newcastle United’s boss Rafael Benitez looks to keep
Last season (2015/2016) in the Premier league Jordon Ibe played 27 times, only scoring 1 goal and getting 2 assists.

Liverpool have reportedly accepted a bid from Bournemouth for winger Jordon Ibe, according to reports by BBC Sport.

Over the past few days Liverpool have been linked with Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic. He joined the Galácticos last August from Inter for €31 million (£24.3m).

Although it remains to be seen whether Jamie Vardy fancies an Arsenal move this summer, impatient Arsene Wenger has already begun weighing up alternatives, reportedly.

It has been a topsy-turvy season for Liverpool. They sacked a manager, before reaching two cup finals and finishing in eighth place in the Premier League.
