Alexander Isak has spoken out on his Liverpool struggles after a controversial £125 million ($167m) transfer from Newcastle in the summer. The forward has so far failed to find his form at Merseyside and hence failed to meet expectations, which rose to unprecedented levels as the Reds paid a record sum to the Tyneside club to bring their talismanic forward to Anfield.

Arne Slot has revealed how Liverpool are helping Florian Wirtz amid an upturn in form following a slow start to life at Anfield. The German playmaker swapped Bayer Leverkusen for Merseyside this summer but he has not lived up to his huge £116 million ($156m) transfer fee. But a change in approach from the Reds may be helping the 22-year-old heading into Christmas.

Liverpool legend John Barnes has told his old club not to sign Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window. The Premier League champions have been linked with the 25-year-old but Barnes thinks they have enough strength in depth at present. The former England winger also believes that Reds forward Mohamed Salah isn't going anywhere despite his outspoken outburst against Arne Slot and the Merseyside outfit.

Arne Slot has offered a revealing update on Liverpool's January transfer window plans amid links with Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi and Bournemouth ace Antoine Semenyo. The Reds spent nearly £450 million ($602m) on players over the summer but missed out on England centre-back Guehi and seemingly have desires over bringing Ghana winger Semenyo to Anfield as well. But Slot has given little away over a potential double deal.

Mohamed Salah has apologised to the Liverpool dressing room following his incendiary interview earlier this month, team-mate Curtis Jones has revealed. The Reds midfielder insists the squad are united behind the Egypt forward despite him accusing the club of “throwing me under the bus” on the back of the dramatic Premier League draw with Leeds United.

Bournemouth have reportedly identified a replacement for in-demand winger Antoine Semenyo, handing a boost to Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window opening. The Premier League trio are all believed to be keen on signing the forward, who has a release clause which becomes active on New Year’s Day.

Manchester City legend Yaya Toure is adamant he was “better” than his brother Kolo after revealing the siblings had a “bitter rivalry” growing up. The former midfielder has opened up about what it was like to both compete and play alongside his brother, who represented Premier League trio Arsenal, City and Liverpool in a 14-year spell in English football.

Arne Slot will not speak about Mohamed Salah while the Liverpool forward competes at the Africa Cup of Nations, saying both he and the Egypt star have “moved on” following his incendiary interview earlier this month. The Reds manager has issued his stance on the eve of his side’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
