‘Absolutely’… Fabrizio Romano says £34m player won’t leave Liverpool in January

Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly one of Liverpool’s most important players.

The Egyptian is the Reds’ main man. He’s their top scorer and main creator, and if Liverpool are to win any major trophies this season, it feels as though Salah will be at the heart of that.

However, in recent months, there has been a bit of worry about the winger’s future.

Salah was targeted by the Saudi Pro League in the summer with a huge bid, and there have been plenty of suggestions that the Saudis will be back in for the attacker in January.

However, speaking on Kick, Fabrizio Romano has delivered a reassuring update on Salah, claiming that he absolutely sees the left-footer staying at Anfield in the January transfer window.

Salah staying
Romano shared what he knows about the £34m man.

“In January, yeah, in January I see him staying, absolutely. I see him staying and being a part of the Liverpool project. Absolutely, nothing to mention on that. I don’t think anything can happen in the January transfer window. At the moment the message from Liverpool is the same as we had in the summer, they want to count on Mo Salah, a crucial player for them. Remember they received important approaches from Mo Salah in the summer, they offered a package of around £150m, an incredible amount of money, and Liverpool said no, so I don’t see them selling Salah halfway through a season, a very important season for Liverpool,” Romano said.

No chance
Romano can’t see Salah leaving in January, and, to be honest, neither can we.

MORE LIVERPOOL STORIES
The attacker is way too important to this Liverpool team, and they surely won’t sell him in the middle of what looks like being a season where they can challenge for a title.

The Reds have started this season fantastically, and they’re not going to derail their own title push by letting one of their most important players go halfway through the season.

Whether or not this stance changes in the summer remains to be seen.

‘Not a good performance’… Nation’s media left unimpressed with 24-year-old Liverpool player last night

The Dutch media was left unimpressed with Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo’s display for the Netherlands last night.

Holland picked up a 1-0 win over Ireland thanks to an early goal from Wout Weghorst and Cody Gakpo started from the off.

The 24-year-old played in an advanced midfield role just behind the striker but failed to impress on the night.

Indeed, Gakpo was replaced by Joey Veerman in the second-half after an underwhelming display.

And it’s fair to say the Dutch media were critical of the Liverpool star’s latest international performance.

Dutch media unimpressed with Gakpo’s latest international showing
Football Oranje handed Gakpo a 5.5 rating for his display and noted that he was wasteful in front of goal last night.

The outlet wrote: “Not a good performance from the Liverpool man, who was the first to be substituted.

“Snatched at shots and even got in his teammate’s way at times. He did create chances but not at the level we expect from him.”

Voetbal Primeur were slightly more generous as they gave the Dutchman a six out of 10 rating.

The outlet notes that Gakpo was just beginning to find his feet in the game before being replaced around the hour mark.

They wrote: “Before half time Gakpo was searching, in the second half he seemed to loosen up.

“With his speed he regularly managed to escape the Irish defense. Yet Gakpo was the first to leave, much to his own disappointment.”

Gakpo has struggled to break back into Liverpool’s front-three after picking up an injury against Tottenham back in September.

The former PSV man has been used in a midfield role on occasion this season, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in his midfield three in the win over Brentford last weekend.

Klopp has already lauded Gakpo for being an extremely versatile player. But you get the feeling that his best position lies further forward, rather than in midfield.

While he wasn’t at his best for Ronald Koeman’s side last night, that is probably down to a lack of minutes at Liverpool since his return from injury.

‘Brings so much joy’… Alisson says £12m Liverpool player is so ‘fantastic’

Giuseppe Labellarte
Sat 18 November 2023 20:45, UK
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has described Reds teammate Kostas Tsimikas as a “fantastic” footballer and person.

The Liverpool stopper sung his colleague’s praises to Premier League Productions, saying he’s an absolute joy to work with.

Tsimikas has been at Liverpool since August 2020, when he joined the Reds from Olympiakos in a deal reportedly worth around £12million.

The 27-year-old has been a useful squad player for Jurgen Klopp, often deputising for Andrew Robertson.

To date, Tsimikas has made 71 appearances for Liverpool, also notching up 14 assists in red.

He went into the international break on a high note, registering two assists for the Reds in a 3-0 win over Brentford.

As well as stepping up on the pitch, Tsimikas is a hugely popular player in the Liverpool dressing room.

Alisson said: “He’s a lovely guy. I think he brings so much joy to our team every day here.

“It’s a pleasure for me to work together here with him.

“Not talking about his qualities as a player, he is a fantastic player as well; top skills, but as a person [he’s] even better.”

TBR View
It’s so good to hear Tsimikas earn praise from his teammates not only for his playing skills, but as a person.

Camaraderie is important in any club’s dressing room. You need to have the right characters, and Tsimikas certainly fits the bill.

With Robertson out of contention, the Greece international has stepped up and will look to continue to do so as Liverpool aim for glory following a tricky season last time out.

OPINIONGareth Southgate just proved Jürgen Klopp right again as 2/10 rating shows Liverpool truth
England didn’t exactly inspire with its performance against Malta at Wembley, with Gareth Southgate once again proving Jürgen Klopp right in the process.

Liverpool fans’ apathy toward the England team might have dissipated a little when they saw Trent Alexander-Arnold’s name on the teamsheet on Friday night. So often snubbed by Gareth Southgate, Reds everywhere have regularly been left perplexed as to how the 25-year-old has just 22 caps to his name.

Any of those same fans who were encouraged to watch the proceedings at Wembley would have been regretting that decision soon though. And it certainly was not through the fault of Alexander-Arnold.

A turgid display saw England labor to a 2-0 win over Malta, a side ranked 171st in FIFA’s world rankings between such football powerhouses as Fiji and Bermuda. Despite going 1-0 up early on through a fortunate own goal, the Three Lions didn’t register a shot on target until after the hour mark — it won’t surprise you to learn that it was Alexander-Arnold who broke that particular deadlock.

The Liverpool academy product was one of the few positives to emerge for England at Wembley. The same can’t be said for his former club teammate though.

Jordan Henderson had another night to forget as he was given the nod yet again by Southgate. The England boss’ loyalty to the former Liverpool captain has baffled many following his move to Saudi Arabia, where he is playing in a far inferior league to the Premier League, and his recent performances for the national team have not done anything to quell any disquiet.

Having been booed following a subpar performance against Australia last month, Henderson was once again poor against Malta last night. His display even garnered a two out of 10 rating from Goal.

While that might seem harsh, you certainly couldn’t make the argument for the 33-year-old to receive a much higher rating. His slow and ponderous play rather summed up England’s display, and it was telling that the Three Lions looked much brighter once he had been substituted in the second half.

If Henderson was hoping to make a point to Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp, then he has unquestionably failed. The midfielder suggested in an interview with The Athletic he left Anfield due to no longer feeling wanted at the club, a claim Klopp didn’t deny.

“He was my captain. I didn’t want to lock horns because he thought he would be starting. He took that to mean we didn’t want him here. I couldn’t tell him he would start and that is why it is better that he moved on.”

Thus far, Southgate’s decisions to continue including Henderson in his squads have not been vindicated, and have only proven why Klopp made the right call in letting him exit Liverpool, even if it did leave the club short in the engine room.

Liverpool has since shown marked improvements with a younger and more dynamic midfield in place. How long will it be before Southgate recognizes he needs to do the same, and come to the same conclusion as Klopp?
