Thiago Alcantara's Move to Liverpool

While all the top clubs were wrapping up impressive deals to strengthen their sides ahead of the 2020/2021 Premier League season, things looked very quiet in Liverpool.

Where Should Kylian Mbappe Go Next?

Kylian Mbappe has reportedly informed PSG that he will be looking to leave the club next summer. Although this is a big blow for Les Parisiens, it is hardly a surprise as after another unsuccessful bid to win the Champions League, the club was bound to lose their star player sooner rather than later. The French wonderkid’s reputation has skyrocketed in the last couple of years and every single one of the elite European clubs will be more than happy to have him. However, I feel there is only a…

2020 Community Shield Match

Premier League champions Liverpool and FA Cup holders Arsenal will be going head-to-head this weekend at the traditional Community Shield matchup at Wembley Stadium. During the years, the match has gained the reputation of being a friendly game more than a competitive outing but it’s nevertheless a chance to pick up some silverware and go into the season on a high. Both clubs have won the Community Shield trophy 15 times but the Merseyside Reds haven’t laid their hands on it since 2006 while Arsenal added to their tally three…

Liverpool Thiago Alcantara

For a few days now, rumours of midfielder Thiago Alcantara joining Liverpool have been picking up speed. The Spaniard was one of the brightest prospects in the Barcelona academy some years ago before his move to Bayern Munich where he has established himself as a key piece in a team that has dominated the Bundesliga in recent seasons. On paper, a cut-price deal for such a great talent is a no-brainer but there are a few roadblocks ahead of the move. In this piece, I share my thoughts on what…
