The defeat at the Etihad was Arsenal’s fourth consecutive loss in domestic competitions, seriously damaging their title hopes. Although they spent mo..

Liverpool’s troubles with centre-backs may not be diminished, but the Reds can breathe a sigh of relief, as Ibrahima Konate has allegedly agreed to extend his deal with the club.Given that Giovanni Leoni, who was supposed to be Liverpool’s future, tore his ACL on his debut, and that Joe Gomez is highly injury-prone, the Reds couldn’t allow themselves to rely solely on Virgil van Dijk, especially considering the Dutchman’s declining form.Szoboszlai keeps his cool amid uncertainty about his Liverpool spellNegotiations between the 20-time champions of England and Konate have been ongoing since October 2024.
