It means central midfield looks a little neglected in terms of incomings during this off-season. Previous links have included Mikel Jauregizar, Samuel Ricci and Nico Gonzalez but the Reds STILL haven't moved for a new midfielder.
Diogo Jota: Thank you
Last season the burden was quite heavy on Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister. Wataru Endo was a bit-part player and Tyler Morton not fancied at all.
Andre impressive in maiden Premier League season
It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Merseysiders move for a new midfielder in transfer windows upcoming - and reports have emerged linking the Reds with a familiar target.
Brazil international Andre, 24, joined Wolves last summer from Fluminense in his homeland. He had a very good first season in the Premier League - starting 31 times and punching in some pretty impressive statistics.
Andre appears among the best performers for players in his position in the tackles won, interceptions and recoveries categories on FOTMOB.
Liverpool want Wolves midfielder Andre
And in a report concerning Juventus' interest in Andre, it's been disclosed that he is on the radar of both Liverpool AND Manchester United.
'For the role of defensive midfielder, la Signora has also made contact regarding André from Wolverhampton,' the report in Corriere dello Sport reads.
'The young midfielder, valued at 35 million euros, is also being pursued by United and Liverpool.'

Bayer Leverkusen keen to sign Jonathan Clauss from Nice
Bayer Leverkusen are keen to sign France international right-back Jonathan Clauss (32) from OGC Nice, according to Foot Mercato. The former Lens and Marseille fullback was reportedly the subject of serious interest from a still-unnamed club, and the latter is actually Erik ten Hag's Werkself. Clauss, who has earned 14 caps and scored twice for Les Bleus, only joined Nice last summer after leaving Olympique de Marseille. Clauss was reunited with Franck Haise, who he played under previously at Racing Club de Lens where the Sang & Or made a second-placed finish in Ligue 1 and qualified for the UEFA Champions League. The Frenchman has entered the final months of his OGC Nice contract. Foot Mercato understands that Clauss is currently reviewing his options. Should he join Bayer Leverkusen, he'd link up with fellow France international defender Loïc Badé. Clauss would also return to Germany, where he broke through with Arminia Bielefeld.

Liverpool Confirm New Dates for Three Premier League Fixtures in October
Liverpool's October Premier League Fixtures Rescheduled Key changes to Liverpool's October calendar Liverpool supporters planning their autumn football will need to make note of fresh scheduling changes. Liverpool FC have confirmed alterations to three of the club's October Premier League fixtures, with all matches moved for live broadcast. The trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea will now take place on Saturday 4 October, with kick-off at 5.30pm BST, live on Sky Sports. Two weeks later comes the standout fixture of the month as Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield, rescheduled for Sunday 19 October at 4.30pm, also live on Sky Sports. Liverpool's third fixture of the month, a visit to Brentford, has been moved to Saturday 25 October with a 12.30pm start, live on TNT Sports. This match remains subject to potential movement, depending on the club's Champions League commitments. Implications for Arne Slot's side Rescheduled fixtures are nothing new for a club competing at the highest level, but the spacing of these games highlights the challenges of balancing domestic and European ambitions. Arne Slot's side, fresh from their title-winning campaign, will need to manage squad rotation carefully during a month that brings high-profile tests against both Chelsea and Manchester United. The October run could prove significant in setting the tone for the second half of the season. Liverpool's ability to cope with fixture congestion will again come under the spotlight, especially as rivals are equally determined to assert themselves early in the campaign. Brentford away, meanwhile, is rarely straightforward and the scheduling of a lunchtime kick-off only adds to the difficulty. Photo IMAGO Broadcasting spotlight For supporters watching from afar, the October schedule underlines Liverpool's status as one of the Premier League's biggest draws. All three fixtures have been selected for live television coverage across Sky Sports and TNT Sports. The decision to reschedule is consistent with the pattern of recent seasons where Liverpool's fixtures regularly attract prime viewing slots. From a commercial perspective, it reinforces the global demand to watch Slot's men in action. For travelling supporters, though, rescheduled fixtures can mean additional logistical challenges. Fixture congestion and opportunity While the calendar poses hurdles, it also provides opportunities. Matches against Chelsea and Manchester United in the space of three weeks could serve as pivotal moments for Liverpool in the Premier League title race. Securing points against major rivals before the winter schedule intensifies would provide a strong platform for Slot and his players. Fans will also note that the Brentford fixture's potential movement adds an element of uncertainty. With Champions League fixtures to be accommodated, final confirmation may arrive closer to the date. Such uncertainty is part and parcel of life for an elite club chasing honours on multiple fronts. Liverpool have shown before that they can navigate these challenges. October will once again test their resilience, depth and ability to perform under the spotlight of live television. For now, supporters can pencil in the new dates and prepare for a month that promises drama, intensity and the continuing story of a club chasing further glory.

Eberechi Eze's return to Arsenal would be a romantic twist in their summer story
Arsenal's affection for seeing boys created at Hale End flourishing in their first team is well known. This one has the capacity to hit a little differently. All summer long, the club and Eberechi Eze, once of their youth team, have been wondering about each other, hearts fluttering at the idea of a possible reunion. Advertisement Suddenly, just when glum resignation was setting in that it would never happen, Arsenal have had a moment of clarity. It has to be now. It can't be never. It has to be Arsenal. It can't be Tottenham Hotspur. This one is certainly loaded. Football is full of strange turns. The fates of others can impact your own path. This development was triggered by the desperately unfortunate injury to Kai Havertz just one game into the new season. It is such a cruel blow for the German, but one that prompted Arsenal to hurry towards Eze before it was too late. When Havertz was stricken in January, Arsenal hesitated and decided to bide their time. Evidently, they do not want to make the same mistake again. Even though they are much better stocked than they were during last winter's dearth of attackers, the Eze factor is just too compelling to pass by. Anecdotally, so much of the discourse around possible targets throughout this window has had the Crystal Palace maverick as the supporters' signing of choice. He is the romantic deal — a prodigal son with Arsenal roots, a free spirit of a player with immense likability and the capacity to bring a swashbuckling creativity that feels like it has been missing in the squad's make-up. It is impossible not to summon the spirit of Ian Wright here. Many moons ago, Arsenal raided Palace for one of their most beloved players. Wright, like Eze, experienced some rejection in the early days, which fuelled the way he played. It was like he always wanted to make a difference. Wright, like Eze, made a great name for himself at Selhurst Park before securing a special kind of move at the age of 27. Prime time, with so much desire for more on a new stage. Wright, as Eze hopes to imminently do, trod the now legendary path from south London to Arsenal. He has London spirit. London energy. London style. His personality, as well as his ability, is a big part of the attraction, and the connections he already shares with England team-mates at Arsenal ensure he would be welcomed with open arms. Advertisement When Wright signed for Arsenal, he was so excited he did not even look at the contract and just burst into the office and burbled, 'Where do I sign?' Deals are slightly more complex these days, but Arsenal have an agreement in principle with Crystal Palace and are close to finalising personal terms with Eze. It is no secret that Eze's heart is set on rejoining the club he learned to love as a little boy in the academy. For Arsenal fans, if this deal comes at the expense of Tottenham, who had put themselves in the driving seat to sign Eze, that's the last-minute top corner finish on top of winning the ball back. It has been an absurd 24 hours on planet Arsenal. Having digested the weird win at Old Trafford, which lacked attacking fluency and verve, there was already some twitchiness about the front section of the team. Never mind waiting six matches or so to make a judgment, but here we are. Leandro Trossard's contract boost was interpreted in critical quarters as a sign that there would be no shiny new left winger on the horizon. Hours later, the news of Havertz's injury was a harbinger of ominous doom. What if Viktor Gyokeres doesn't get up to speed quickly? Who will share the load? Is there enough attacking imagination? What is the ratio of decent options at left wing to one dazzling game-changer? One name has changed the landscape in a heartbeat. There is a considerable expectation that Eze can turn up and rock Arsenal's world, which is a lot to take on. He will be tasked with bringing flair and fire, and a taste for the unpredictable. The fact that he can operate across the front section of the team gives different opportunities for new combinations and roles. Arsenal's keenness on Eze was always there. But there was a touch of pragmatism when they stepped back, both because they regarded him as more of a central player than a left-wing point of upgrade, and also because they were wary of blocking game time for Ethan Nwaneri. Advertisement The Havertz injury clearly threw their carefully considered plans out the window. Whether Eze can replicate some of his work as a centre-forward is up for debate, but at this stage it was more about a highest possible ceiling of attacking quality, in addition to the group that currently includes Gyokeres, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, Trossard and Nwaneri — not forgetting stand-in No 9 Mikel Merino. If Eze does end up back in a cannoned shirt, it will be one hell of a romantic twist in Arsenal's summer story. Spot the pattern.
