Dominik Szoboszlai has played down a public confrontation with Liverpool team-mate Curtis Jones, insisting there is no lingering animosity between the pair following a heated exchange during the club’s pre-season tour. The Hungarian midfielder was spotted in a visible disagreement with the academy graduate following a friendly victory over Wrexham, leading to intense speculation regarding a rift in the dressing room.
Liverpool are close to tying Dominik Szoboszlai to a new long-term contract after reaching an outline agreement with the Hungary international. The midfielder, who has become one of the club's standout performers since arriving from RB Leipzig, is expected to remain a key figure under new head coach Andoni Iraola.
We are now just hours away from the start of the 2026 World Cup finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with all 48 teams having made their way to North America with dreams of glory driving them. All of the pre-qualifying favourites made it safely through, including Spain, Brazil, England, France and defending champions Argentina.
Liverpool have a new manager. Just over a year after Arne Slot led the Reds to a record-equalling 20th English championship, the Dutchman has been replaced in the dugout by Andoni Iraola. The change of coach has already lifted spirits around Anfield after a disastrous Premier League title defence that featured 12 defeats, while Liverpool were also hammered at home by Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, humiliated by Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals and swept aside by Paris Saint-Germain in the last eight of the Champions League.

The European football season is almost over. Just one game remains - the Champions League final, as Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain prepare to do battle in Budapest on Saturday. Both sides come into the game having won their own domestic titles, with PSG looking to defend the crown they won for the first time last season, while the Gunners are aiming to secure their first European Cup.
And there you have it - the 2025-26 Premier League season is over. Arsenal are the champions while West Ham have been relegated alongside Wolves and Burnley as Tottenham secured survival on the final day. While the football hasn't always been the most scintillating, it's been a campaign full of twists and turns at both ends of the table, making it difficult to predict any result given the increased parity among the teams in the English top-flight.
Liverpool will need to appoint a new club captain at some point in the not too distant future, but who should inherit the armband from Virgil van Dijk? Former Reds defender Glen Johnson has told GOAL that Dominik Szoboszlai is an ideal candidate to take on that responsibility as the versatile and passionate Hungarian boasts “characteristics that Steven Gerrard had”.
