Liverpool manager Arne Slot heaps praise on ‘experienced' Florian Wirtz, admits he needs time to adapt
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has praised summer signing Florian Wirtz ahead of Friday evening's season-opener against Bournemouth. The Reds spent a fortune to bring Wirtz to Anfield from Bayer Leverkusen, splashing a mouth-watering British record £116 million on him. Liverpool paid an initial £100m, while the additional £16m is tied to performance-related add-ons. Wirtz is still finding his feet in England, but his pre-season performances gave the Liverpool fans a glimpse of what to expect this season. He scored in the 3-1 pre-season win against Yokohama F Marinos and set up fellow summer arrival Hugo Ekitike for his debut goal against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield. Liverpool ultimately fell short on penalties after both sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at Wembley Stadium. With the curtain-raiser on the horizon, Slot did his best to take some of the pressure off Wirtz's shoulders as the German playmaker prepares to make his Premier League debut. 'He might be young, but he's already won a lot,' Slot said in his pre-match press conference. 'I don't think we can see him as a young player, but he is experienced. 'He won the Bundesliga, plays for Germany, and his mentality is his biggest strength. He doesn't get distracted by the transfer fee. 'Good players always find a way to play good football. But in videos and training ground, he needs to understand what we want. 'We want to be intense. Xabi Alonso tried to bring him into positions we want to, but it's true he has to adjust to England, intensity and his new team-mates.' Liverpool are heading into Friday's season-opener as overwhelming favourites as they take on a Bournemouth squad that has been picked apart this summer. One of the narratives that could dominate the headlines would be the performance of Hungarian left back Milos Kerkez, who is expected to make his Liverpool debut against his former employers.

Chop Robinson returns to practice Thursday, Tyreek Hill sits out
Dolphins edge rusher Chop Robinson said he avoided a serious injury during Wednesday's joint practice with the Lions and the issue was minor enough that Robinson was able to return to action on Thursday. Robinson took part in the team's second day of work with the Lions after being carted off the field during the first session. "Any time a player is down, the best-case scenario could possibly be they could participate in practice without risk of further injury," Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said before Thursday's practice, via Alain Poupart of "It was a rib hit that we we had to make sure we were responsible and didn't have any fractures or anything like that. He's definitely sore, but he'll be practicing today." While Robinson was able to go, wide receiver Tyreek Hill's oblique injury continues to be an issue. McDaniel said that Hill would practice on Wednesday, but he wound up doing less than expected and did not take part on Thursday. McDaniel said the change in plans was due to fears that Hill would make the injury worse, so the wait for his full return to action will have to wait until after this weekend's preseason game in Detroit.

Zazzaroni Claims Roma Star ‘Offered To Inter Milan By Agents' – Adds ‘For Now Lookman Pursuit Still Alive'
Ivan Zazzaroni says that Roma midfielder Manu Kone has been 'offered by agents' to Inter Milan, whilst their pursuit of Ademola Lookman is alive. The Corriere dello Sport editor responded, via FCInter1908, to recent reports that the Frenchman is a target for the Nerazzurri. Inter Milan have recently been linked with a move for Roma midfielder Manu Kone. Reportedly, the Nerazzurri are considering a change in strategy as their pursuit of Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman still isn't going anywhere. Should Atalanta refuse to sell the Nigerian international, Inter may not move for a different forward. Instead, with plenty of options already available to cover the forward and attacking midfield role, Inter could try to sign a holding midfielder. And reportedly, Roma's Manu Kone is one possible target in this respect. However, according to Corriere dello Sport editor Ivan Zazzaroni, it is agents who have offered the 24-year-old. Zazzaroni: 'Manu Kone Offered To Inter By Agents, Lookman Pursuit Still Alive' BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 25: Ademola Lookman of. Atalanta BC looks on during the Serie A match between Atalanta BC and Parma Calcio 1913 at Gewiss Stadium on May 25, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) According to Ivan Zazzaroni, 'Inter are considering a potential change of strategy if Atalanta decide not to sell Lookman.' 'Roma's Kone has been proposed by the Frenchman's agents. He's one solution being explored.' 'For now, however, the option of Lookman is still alive.'
