Could Reds strike a Kerkez-Robertson balance?
Liverpool fan and podcaster Lukleiva believes reported target Milos Kerkez will not settle for limited game time if he was to join Liverpool.The Reds have been linked with a move for the Bournemouth left back, who has featured in all 34 Premier League games for the Cherries so far this season.Liverpool currently have Andy Robertson at left-back, who has played in 31 of the 34 league games.Speaking on the potential situation, Lukleiva told BBC Radio Merseyside: "Kerkez wouldn't come in and only play half the games, so that means Liverpool have to look at a different target if that's the plan. That could be Jorrel Hato from Ajax - he was at a few of the games recently."But you definitely want Kerkez. He's one of the breakout stars of the Premier League season. He's really young, he's played under Arne Slot at AZ Alkmaar, but he won't share minutes with Andy Robertson."Kerkez would start 80% of games and Robertson would play Carabao Cup and the likes of Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League."Whether that is something Robertson is willing to side with or whether he'd then want to move on, that's something they need to talk about."You can listen to the full chat on BBC Sounds

Tottenham ready to hijack Man Utd's £60m Bryan Mbeumo transfer as Brentford identify Thomas Frank replacement
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TOTTENHAM want Bryan Mbeumo to join with Thomas Frank — in a £70million double raid on Brentford. Spurs have made Bees boss Frank their first choice to replace axed Ange Postecoglou and want to tie up a swoop quickly.

Frank, 51, is open to the move across London and a £10m compensation package to land the Dane and his staff will not be a problem. Spurs technical director Johan Lange, who worked with Frank at Danish club Lyngby, will play a key role in negotiations. Then Tottenham can join the Mbeumo chase seriously and hope that being able to offer Champions League action will give them another edge.

It would be a huge test of Tottenham's spending power as United prepare to offer huge wages on top of the fee for the Cameroon international, 25. Meanwhile, Brentford are already homing in on Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna to succeed Frank. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But McKenna signed a massive new deal at Ipswich a year ago and his compensation clause is understood to be a similar figure to Frank's. Who could replace Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham manager? The lure of a second crack at the Premier League is bound to appeal to the Northern Irishman, who was relegated after leading Ipswich to Prem promotion for the first time in 22 years. Brentford have alternatives if McKenna is not committed.

I've played with Zidane and Henry but facing Celtic in the Champions League was my most magical career memory
Former France and Lyon hero Gregory Coupet will never forget his visit to Glasgow's East End 22 years ago Lyon legend Gregory Coupet enjoyed a stellar career that saw him win seven Ligue 1 titles and represent his country at the European Championships in 2008. But the 52-year-old is in no doubt about the best experience he ever experienced on the pitch during his 28 years as a professional. The Frenchman was in his pomp when Lyon travelled to Celtic Park for a Champions League group stage clash in September 2003. The Ligue 1 powerhouses went into tie off the back of consecutive league titles but were blown away by the Hoops, with goals in either half from Liam Miller and Chris Sutton handing Martin O'Neill's side an impressive 2-0 win, despite Coupet saving a penalty from Alan Thompson. Coupet's team would get their own back on Celtic three months later, with midfield maestro Juninho netting a late penalty in a 3-2 victory to deny the visitors a place in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. And while the former stopper - who won 32 caps for his country and also turned out for Saint Etienne, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain - played in many iconic stadiums around the continent during his illustrious career between the sticks, he says that 'magical' night at Parkhead trumps the lot. Coupet puts the atmosphere generated at Celtic Park ahead of the cauldron of noise that can be heard in Fenerbahce's Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. Speaking to L'Equipe, he said: "I put Celtic above all because there is a cathedral effect, magnificent chants, no animosity. It's magical." Coupet isn't the only former Ligue 1 star to have some warm words for the famous old ground. Ex Barcelona, Manchester United and PSG goal machine Zlatan Ibrahimovic described his experience of walking out in Glasgow's East End back in 2001 when he came off the bench for Ajax in a Champions League tie. Reflecting on his career, he said: "I have played in the biggest games of world football. "But I have never experienced an atmosphere like I did at Celtic Park."
