Rafael van der Vaart has launched a stinging attack on Virgil van Dijk, comparing the Netherlands captain to a commercial airliner following a shaky defensive display against Japan. Despite the Liverpool man finding the net in the 2-2 draw, Van der Vaart admitted he was stunned by the defender's lack of mobility during the Netherlands' World Cup opener.

Liverpool supporters have been sent into a frenzy following a cryptic social media post from the club's official account regarding former striker Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan forward, who left Anfield only last summer, is suddenly being linked with a sensational return to Merseyside as a free agent - with fans urging new boss Andoni Iraola to bring him home.

Following the early termination of Mohamed Salah's contract with Liverpool, forward Cody Gakpo has reportedly informed the club of his desire to leave Anfield this summer after a turbulent season on Merseyside. However, his departure could have unexpected consequences for his former club PSV, potentially scuppering a record-breaking deal currently in the works.

Bradley Barcola is reportedly eager to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, sparking a scramble for his signature among the Premier League's elite. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are closely monitoring the winger's situation as he seeks a fresh challenge away from the French capital.

Liverpool are moving quickly to secure the future of Rio Ngumoha following stunning reports linking the teenage sensation with a move to Bayern Munich. The Reds have no intention of letting their prized asset leave Anfield and are preparing a lucrative contract offer to end any speculation of a move to Germany.

The Premier League has announced a comprehensive suite of mandatory law changes and officiating guidelines ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Developed in tandem with PGMOL and informed by an extensive annual football survey, the updates heavily target time-wasting tactics while refining the threshold for video assistant referee interventions.

The Andoni Iraola era at Liverpool is officially gathering pace as the club begins a significant restructuring of the first-team coaching setup. Following the appointment of the former Bournemouth boss, the Reds have confirmed the departure of three key figures from the previous regime.

During Liverpool's historically poor run of results last autumn, Florian Wirtz's form became the subject of much debate. Gary Lineker was among those that felt that the No.10 might benefit from being taken out of Arne Slot’s starting line-up, and thus the spotlight. "Don’t think he isn’t suffering at the moment with this," the former England international said on 'The Rest is Football' podcast.

Micky van de Ven can “level up” and become “one of the best in the world”, Toby Alderweireld has told GOAL, with the Dutch defender being informed that he does not need to leave Tottenham in order to join the elite. Speculation is raging around the Netherlands international in north London, with serious questions being asked of his future as another transfer window prepares to swing open.

Arne Slot has followed Mohamed Salah through the exits at Liverpool, but would the latter have agreed to stay and see out his contract if he knew that the former was going to be sacked? Danny Murphy is not convinced that was ever the case, with the ex-Reds midfielder telling GOAL how the Egyptian King’s powers had faded to the point that a fresh start was probably the best option for all concerned.
