Liverpool news

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has backed Florian Wirtz to continue finding the back of the net after the midfielder finally scored his first goal for the club in Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Germany star ended his painful wait for a maiden goal in red as the Merseysiders moved into the top four with a tight victory at Anfield.

Liverpool moved into the top four with a nervy 2-1 victory over rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have set the record for the longest winless start to a Premier League season following their latest defeat. Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for the Reds, while Ryan Gravenberch found the back of the net for the first time since November, as Arne Slot's side earned all three points at Anfield.

Liverpool centre-back and captain Virgil van Dijk has claimed he is relishing the pressure that comes with trying to turn the club's stuttering season around. The Reds have endured a testing campaign both on and off the pitch to date, with the Premier League champions struggling to defend their crown in the wake of the tragic passing of Diogo Jota over the summer.

Liverpool need to dip into the January transfer market in order to strengthen in the New Year, according to club legend Jamie Carragher. The Reds spent nearly £450 million ($607m) over the summer following their title triumph last season to bring in the likes of Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Florian Wirtz. However, Carragher believes the Merseyside giants need to spend further next month.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot used his pre-match programme notes to pay tribute to forward Diogo Jota as the striker's two former Premier League sides meet at Anfield on Saturday. Wolves make the trip to Merseyside for the first time since Jota tragically lost his life in a car crash in July. The Portuguese hitman's brother, Andre Silva, was also in the car at the time.

Liverpool are weighing up a bold six-month loan move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos following a devastating injury to Alexander Isak, which has left Arne Slot short in attack. With the Reds facing a crucial period of the season, the Premier League champions are exploring short-term solutions to maintain their title push while their record signing recovers.

Harvey Elliott might have to settle for spending the remainder of the season at Aston Villa despite his disappointing loan spell thus far, as complications surrounding the terms of his season-long move from Liverpool have emerged ahead of the January transfer window. The 22-year-old completed a loan deal with a £35million ($47.2m) obligation to buy if he makes 10 appearances for the Villans, which appears unlikely to happen - but there are no guarantees he will return to Anfield soon.

Emmanuel Adebayor has leapt to Mohamed Salah’s defence after Jamie Carragher criticised the Liverpool forward, branding the pundit’s treatment of the Egyptian as "unfair". The former Premier League striker questioned Carragher’s comments and legacy debate, insisting Salah’s achievements and standing in English football demand far greater respect.

Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has been thrust back into the spotlight after reports emerged of an approach from Fenerbahce, amid growing speculation over his standing under Arne Slot. However, the Egyptian superstar’s agent has now moved to shut down talk of an Istanbul switch, offering clarity on where the 33-year-old’s immediate future may lie.

Arne Slot has backed Hugo Ekitike to continue his electric run in front of goal, praising the Liverpool striker for his "hard work" off the pitch and determination to succeed in what is proving to be a fruitful first season in England. Ekitike looks set to have increasing pressure placed on his shoulders following a broken leg suffered by Alexander Isak, but Slot praised the Frenchman for his efforts to get "fitter and fitter".

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has opened up emotionally ahead of the Reds' final match of 2025, admitting the squad are still struggling to process the devastating loss of Diogo Jota. Speaking as captain, the Dutch defender reflected on a year of extreme highs and heartbreaking lows, as the Merseyside giants prepare for an emotional Anfield clash with Wolves.

Diogo Jota’s two sons will accompany the matchday mascots when the late striker’s former clubs Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers meet at Anfield on Saturday. The Premier League fixture is the first time the two teams have met since the Portugal international died - alongside his brother Andre Silva - in a car crash in the Spanish province of Zamora in July.
