The 3 Best Liverpool Academy Prospects Jürgen Klopp Developed

As Liverpool prepare to wave farewell to Jürgen Klopp and thank him for everything he has accomplished at one of the most prestigious institutions in world football, many are taking time to reflect on his impact and legacy at Anfield. For the most part, Klopp upgraded Liverpool by making shrewd signings on the transfer market - such as the vaunted trio of Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino, and Mohamed Salah - and changing the mentality around the club both tactically and, in a matter of speaking, spiritually. He also helped develop young talents into the stars they are today, including a trio of players who have been, are currently, and, most importantly, will be important to Liverpool's success.

5 Transfers To Turn Tottenham Into Premier League Title Contenders

Tottenham have become a legitimate Champions League contender in the Premier League again, one season after finishing eighth and failing to qualify for any sort of European football. Spurs missed out on European football despite Harry Kane scoring 30 goals for them and creating a substantial number of chances (1.5 key passes per game). Now that Kane is gone and already breaking records in the Bundesliga, though, Spurs are actually better off, and that's thanks to the improvements they have made tactically and with their personnel under new manager Ange Postecoglou. In order to push for more and even content for the Premier League title under Postecoglou's leadership, Tottenham will need to make more smart signings on the transfer market. Here are five players Tottenham could si...

The matches for the 2023/24 Champions League quarterfinal round have been set. Here is an early look at which teams could advance and which teams will be heading home in this year's UCL. Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich Arsenal's Best Player How could it be anyone other than Bukayo Saka. The 22-year-old right winger is a Ballon d'Or-level talent and one of the most consistent footballers on the planet despite his young age. Even in the Champions League, Saka is colossal, recording three goals and four assists so far in the current campaign, showing he can more than step up to meet the challenge of the highest level of European football. Bayern's Best Player A familiar face to the Arsenal faithful, former Tottenham rival Harry Kane is having a special, potentially record-breaking season fo...

With 26 Matchdays in the books, it's time to take an updated look at the top 10 contenders to win the Premier League Player of the Season award in 2023/24. 10. Tottenham ST Son Heung-min Son Heung-min was one of the biggest disappointments in the 2022/23 Premier League campaign, as Tottenham failed to qualify for Europe despite a sensational season from current Bayern Munich man Harry Kane. The South Korean superstar has been back to his superstar status in 2023/24, leading the way for a Spurs side that still has an outside shot at qualifying for the Champions League under new manager Ange Postecoglou. Son has really stepped up as the main man up top, scoring 12 goals to place himself among the league leaders. He's been so effective all-around, notching six assists and an avera...

3 overlooked managers Liverpool should consider to replace Jürgen Klopp

It’s still surreal for many of us (not to mention Liverpool fans) to think that this will be Jürgen Klopp's last season with Liverpool.
