Liverpool's high-profile move for Florian Wirtz last summer is being labelled a total disaster as former Reds star Didi Hamann suggests the club should prepare to cut their losses. The German international has failed to live up to his massive price tag, sparking intense debate over whether he will ever adapt to the demands of the Premier League.

Emile Heskey has, in an exclusive interview with GOAL, named Celtic boss Martin O’Neill and Liverpool icon Gerard Houllier as the best managers that he worked under. The ex- England international, who spent time with Leicester and at Anfield in his playing days, is now helping to find potential Premier League coaches of the future as part of an inspiring new enterprise.

Harvey Elliott’s quest to revitalise his career away from Anfield has hit another significant roadblock during his loan spell with Valencia. The Liverpool midfielder, who joined the Spanish side in search of regular minutes, is now facing intense scrutiny over his physical condition and future in La Liga.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has launched a fierce defense of his international reputation, branding claims that he influenced the Netherlands' tactical setup at the World Cup as "completely baseless."
