Isak runs over Tractor Boys, as Liverpool claim their first win of the season

To be honest and fair, the Premier League schedule was anything but kind towards Ipswich Town, pitting them against Manchester United and Liverpool in back-to-back games.Against the Red Devils, the Tractor Boys looked pretty good in the first half, but faded after the break, allowing Michael Carrick’s men to punish them with a 5-2 thrashing.Hey, Salah, open your arms – Richarlison is set to join you at TrabzonTonight against the Reds, their hopes lasted just nine minutes, as they were already 2-0 down by then – all thanks to their old archenemy Alexander Isak.In two games against Ipswich in a Newcastle shirt during the 2024/25 season, the Swede scored four goals, including a hat-trick at Portman Road. This time, he was slightly more merciful, netting “just” twice in the Reds’ 2-0 victory, while his “partner in crime” Cody Gakpo registered two assists.FULL TIME: Ipswich 0-2 Liverpool. đź”´3 points secured at Portman Road! 🔥 #IPSLIV #LFC pic.twitter.com/t8LQKz1qT6— Anything Liverpool (@Anyt..

Hey, Salah, open your arms – Richarlison is set to join you at Trabzon

A couple of days ago, Transfermarkt reported that Trabzonspor were interested in Richarlison and that the bid had already been sent to Tottenham Hotspur.Despite landing Mohamed Salah in a blockbuster move a month ago, the Turkish giants started the league campaign with only one win in three games and were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League qualifiers by the Hungarian side Ferencvaros – enough reason to pursue another superstar.More departures? Balogun and Richarlison not registered by their teamsAnd while there was plenty of skepticism surrounding the Brazilian’s potential move to Turkey, one major decision by Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi further fueled rumors of his imminent departure.The Italian included Richarlison in the starting XI for Spurs’ Premier League opener against Brentford, but then benched him against Charlton in the EFL Cup before leaving him out of the squad for the league clash against Newcastle.The clearest indication yet that the striker’s days in North Londo..

Does Estevao still have a place at Chelsea? He’s afraid he doesn’t

An example of how one injury can change everything.During last season’s underwhelming campaign, Estevao was one of the rare bright spots at Chelsea. He registered eight goals and four assists in 36 appearances in his debut season in Europe and looked destined to become one of the Blues’ leaders. At the age of 18, he had already been considered their future.However, last April, he suffered a severe hamstring injury that kept him sidelined for three months and ruled him out of the 2026 World Cup.Chelsea’s five-day striker purge: €127.5m raised from selling four forwardsIt took time, but he recovered and returned to Chelsea’s squad – only to find that many things were no longer the same.Enzo Maresca had left and was replaced with Xabi Alonso, while Estevao was handed serious competition in the form of big-money signing Morgan Rogers.So, it’s no wonder the Brazilian quickly learned how thin the line is between stardom and the bench.Deadline Day madness: how Chelsea, Everton and Monaco all ..

Roma eye two African wingers

The transfer window in Italy is closed but there are teams which haven’t been able to get all the players which they wanted and Roma is among those teams. Giallorossi brought in Santiago Castro, Rodrigo Mora, Nahuel Molina, Konstantinos Koulierakis, Leonardo Balerdi, Marten de Roon, Donyell Malen and Daniele Ghilardi and this is by far their best transfer window in years. The club continued to spend and went into the red — 100 million euros so far — which could prove costly, as they are under a three-year UEFA monitoring period during which they are not allowed to post a deficit of more than 60,000,000 euros. Since the Friedkins took charge of the club, more than half a billion euros has been spent on player purchases, while sales have generated less than 300 million euros. But they need more.Gasperini blocks Kone’s move to ChelseaCoach Gian Piero Gasperini got almost all he wanted but one position remains a bit short – the left winger.
