Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has confirmed that marquee signing Bradley Barcola is in contention to make his debut against Ipswich Town. The £123 million winger arrived from Paris Saint-Germain late in the transfer window but lacked pre-season minutes in France. Despite this, his new manager is thrilled with his fitness levels and mentality ahead of Friday's upcoming fixture.
Ipswich Town have completed the £20 million signing of Dutch forward Zian Flemming from Burnley on transfer deadline day. The 28-year-old striker has signed a four-year deal at Portman Road to become their 12th summer addition, taking the number nine shirt to bolster the Tractor Boys' attacking options for the ongoing Premier League campaign.
Former Premier League champion Danny Simpson believes Bradley Barcola and Alexander Isak have the firepower to fire Liverpool to the title. The Reds recently completed a £123 million move for the Paris Saint-Germain forward, with Simpson backing the French winger to form a lethal partnership alongside the Swedish striker at Anfield this term.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged the club to launch a late move for Newcastle United star Lewis Hall before the transfer window slams shut. The former midfielder believes defensive reinforcements are essential after watching Luke Shaw endure a difficult afternoon during the Red Devils' recent victory.
