Liverpool news

Liverpool have been told that it wouldn't be worth their time to sign a direct replacement for the injured Alexander Isak during the January transfer window. Isak suffered a fractured leg during Saturday's 2-1 win at Tottenham and is set for an extended period on the sidelines, but the Reds may not look to bring in another striker in his absence.

Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland has sent a message to Mohamed Salah after seeing the Liverpool ace score a late winner for Egypt in their AFCON win over Zimbabwe. The Liverpool forward took to social media after the game and posed with fellow goalscorer and Haaland's Manchester City team-mate Omar Marmoush, bringing a swift response from the striker.

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank launched a passionate defence of Micky van de Ven after Liverpool boss Arne Slot was critical of the centre-back's challenge that left Alexander Isak with a fractured leg. The Reds beat nine-man Spurs 2-1 on Saturday evening, with Isak opening the scoring for the visitors. However, he was unable to continue after breaking the deadlock due to injury.

Chelsea have become the latest club to express interest in Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo. The forward is also being chased by Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City ahead of the opening of the January transfer window and is expected to leave in a transfer worth £65 million. The Blues have made an initial enquiry for Semenyo as the race for his signature hots up.

Former Liverpool star John Arne Riise believes that Jurgen Klopp "would love" to take charge of England, and has tipped the German to move into international management. The Champions League-winning coach may have stepped away from the Anfield dugout, but the gravitational pull of his reputation continues to link with a potential return to the touchline.

Liverpool cult hero Divock Origi has reportedly agreed to terminate his contract with AC Milan and will be free to sign for a new club when the transfer window opens in January. The Belgian striker has not played for the Rossoneri in two-and-a-half years, and is considered one of the worst signings in the recent history of the club.

Alexander Isak may have suffered a fractured fibula, but a broken leg may not have brought his 2025-26 campaign to a close. Liverpool boss Arne Slot has delivered a recovery update on the most expensive player in British football. He is confident that the £125 million ($169m) Sweden international striker will play Premier League football again this season.

Jamie Carragher has suggested that Mohamed Salah’s mooted January exit is now effectively off the table, arguing that Alexander Isak’s serious injury has left Liverpool with little margin for manoeuvre in attack. The Reds edged Tottenham 2-1 in their latest Premier League outing, but the result was overshadowed by the sight of their record signing limping away in distress.

Pure excitement has been the theme of this Premier League season. Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa are locked in a three-way title race while practically the rest of the division is competing for a European place. Indeed, the table is so crowded it feels more like the Championship than the top-flight, with back-to-back wins being all it takes to propel teams from 15th to the top five.

Mohamed Salah shrugged off his recent problems at Liverpool to play a starring role for Egypt in their AFCON opener. The forward popped up in stoppage time to score the winner for Egypt in a 2-1 victory over Zimbabwe. The Warriors had shocked Egypt by going ahead in the match but were pegged back when Omar Marmoush equalised. Salah then delivered the killer blow late on to secure victory for The Pharoahs.

Liverpool have issued an update on injured striker Alexander Isak after the big-money summer signing was forced off in Saturday's Premier League win over Tottenham. The striker was injured in a tackle by Micky van de Ven and looked in clear pain as he was helped off the pitch. The Reds have confirmed the Sweden international has subsequently undergone surgery for a leg fracture and is now set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has jumped to the defence of Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven following his challenge on Alexander Isak during Saturday's Premier League clash at Anfield. Isak could not continue after being injured by the tackle and there are now concerns he has suffered a leg fracture and will be out of action for several months.

Liverpool have opted against accelerating their interest in Antoine Semenyo, despite holding initial discussions with the player's camp, allowing Manchester United and Manchester City to move into stronger positions in the race for the Bournemouth forward. The Reds were keen to explore a move for the in-form Ghana international, but have now pulled out, simplifying matters for the forward.
