Liverpool make approach for one of the world’s most talented forwards

Liverpool have one of the most talented attacking lines in the Premier League with the duo of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz on the wings, Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo operating as wingers, and Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota bringing two very different skill sets at the 9. But Liverpool could use one more difference-maker, preferably someone who can create chances from the wings and provide quality depth for either Salah or the Diaz/Gakpo tandem on the left. For the most part, Liverpool have been quiet during the summer 2024 transfer window, with the only major signing being talented young goalkeeper Giorgio Mamardashvili as Alisson Becker's heir. According to a new report from French outlet L'Equipe, Liverpool have made a recent approach for Lyon forward Rayan Cherki, who has been...

The 5 best possible transfer targets for Newcastle in summer 2023

Newcastle United have been one of the stories of the season in the Premier League. Their recent 6-1 drubbing of Tottenham Hotspur seals their fate as a deserving top-four side, and it will be quite something to see the likes of Joelinton and Miguel Almirón in the Champions League. Those two promising talents have turned into bonafide Premier League stars. Of course, Saudi Arabia have invested heavily in Newcastle for a purpose. Like the UAE with Manchester City and Qatar with PSG, Saudi Arabia intend on competing at the highest level. Both the UAE and Qatar projects have yet to win the Champions League despite massive financial investment, whereas the Magpies have been more about making smart signings and maximizing their squad strength as a cohesive unit.

10 possible transfer targets for PSG in summer 2023

Although PSG are set to cruise to another Ligue 1 title, they were knocked out of the Champions League Round of 16 for a second straight season. After collapsing against Real Madrid in 2021/22, they were nowhere close to challenging Bayern München, failing to create chances across two clean-sheet defeats to the Bavarian giants. Clearly, the PSG project isn't succeeding. The club was able to hold onto Kylian Mbappé last summer amidst interest from Real Madrid, largely because they hired Luís Campos and Christopher Galtier while promising to build a true project based around a balanced squad to support Mbappé over the long term. PSG have to get things right in the summer 2023 transfer window, otherwise Mbappé could decide to join Los Blancos. Here are 10 possible targets for PSG ...
