Liverpool star responds to rumours he could complete Bayern Munich transfer
Cody Gakpo has distanced himself from reports that he could be set to leave Liverpool for Bayern Munich. The 26-year-old forward enjoyed a strong season with the Reds, racking up ten goals and four assists in the Premier League to help the club win a record-equaling 20th title. But there has been some speculation that Gakpo's time on Merseyside could be coming to an end, with German champions Bayern having identified him as a target for the transfer window. Leroy Sane is expected to move on from the Allianz Arena this summer and Bayern are scouring the transfer market for a left-sided attacker to replace the four-time Bundesliga winner. However, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is determined to keep hold his fellow countryman and has reportedly told club bosses to do everything in their power to block his exit.

The Dutch attacker has three years remaining on his current contract with Liverpool. Facing the media ahead of the Netherlands' 2-0 victory over Finland, Gakpo insisted he had no knowledge of any interest from Bayern. 'I haven't heard anything about it myself. I'm closing myself off from it,' he told reporters. 'Maybe my agent has heard something, but I'm focusing on myself.' Gakpo has been with Liverpool for three years having completed a move from PSV Eindhoven for a fee in the region of £40million in January 2023. In March, Gakpo credited Slot with transforming his game after a somewhat mixed opening 18 months in English football. 'I think he offered me a lot. The first thing he did was change my position slightly, so back to the left,' the former PSV man said. More Trending 'That was maybe a small change on paper but for me it was a big change. 'Then I had to come into the team as well and he gave me the chance to show myself. 'Obviously he's trying to help me to develop myself in moments in the game, how to be smarter, how to be better, how to get yourself more in scoring positions and giving the decisive pass and everything like this. 'He's helping me a lot. The manager and the staff, they try to help everybody, and I think everybody can see a lot of players are developing well.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Bayer Leverkusen respond to Liverpool's £113m transfer bid for Florian Wirtz
Bayer Leverkusen have told Liverpool to come back with an even bigger offer after the Premier League champions offered £113m for Florian Wirtz. Arne Slot has made Wirtz, 22, his top transfer transfer target this summer as he looks to strengthen a Liverpool squad that won the Premier League last season. Wirtz is rated as one of the most talented players in Europe, having made close to 200 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen and earned 30 caps for Germany. On Saturday it was reported that Liverpool had approached Leverkusen with a revised offer for Wirtz worth £113m. The deal would guarantee Leverkusen £100m, with the possibility of another £13m in add-ons. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter.

But The Times say Bayer Leverkusen have knocked back that offer and still want their asking price of £126m (€150m) to be met. More Trending While Leverkusen continue to frustrate Liverpool, the Reds are still expected to welcome Wirtz to Anfield sooner rather than later. The Bundesliga club are waiting for another offer from Liverpool, who are ready to make Wirtz the most expensive signing in the club's history. A compromise will likely be reached for Wirtz to leave for a figure between Liverpool's latest offer of £113m and Leverkusen's asking price of £126m.

Chris Kamara agrees on Jeff Stelling's 'lowest point' on Soccer Saturday
Chris Kamara has agreed with Jeff Stelling on the most embarrassing moment of the legendary presenter's career. Kamara, as an in-vision match reporter, and Stelling, as host, were an iconic combination on Sky Sports ' Soccer Saturday. Passion, drama and plenty of hilarious moments ensued as the pair combined to create football TV gold. On one occasion, Stelling was left red-faced after he was corrected by Kamara for forgetting that West Ham had moved to the London Stadium from Upton Park. Stelling jokingly dubbed it the "lowest point" of his presenting career. Kamara agrees with his great friend, telling the Daily Star: 'Yeah, it's true, it probably was the lowest point in his career!' The former Brentford and Leeds defender added: 'But we had so many laughs along the way, too many to mention. What a great time we had, the best of it all. 'And those memories and the way people treat myself and Jeff these days, they obviously enjoyed it as well. So that's a great thing.' During his Sky career, Kamara was renowned for his 'Unbelievable Jeff!' phrase. He's grateful for the public's continued love, explaining: 'If I go out every single day, somebody will say, 'Unbelievable Jeff'. And they go, 'You must be fed up with that?' "No, I'm not, not at all. I'm proud of it, if I'm honest, to have a catchphrase that's got longevity. Don't knock it.' Kamara left Sky as he battled with apraxia of speech, while Stelling stood down as long-time Soccer Saturday presenter in 2023. The pair remained close before they were unexpectedly reunited on TV when Kamara was hired to report on Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham as part of Amazon Prime Video's Boxing Day coverage, which was fronted by Stelling. 'That was great, absolutely great. I couldn't believe it,' said Kamara, who is managing his apraxia symptoms, which affects sufferers' ability to plan and coordinate the movements needed to produce speech 'I thought it was a wind-up when I got the call from Amazon. They said, 'We've got an idea. Because it's our last round of games, and Sky have got all the future Christmas games and stuff... we've got an idea, we're going to get you reporting with Jeff in the studio.' 'I said, 'Are you sure you want me back?' And he went 'Yeah, yeah we do.' Nottingham Forest laid out the red carpet for me, put my picture on the big screen, 'Welcome back, Kammy.' They gave me boardroom tickets. 'It was just wonderful, and I said there and then if that is my last game, then so be it. The last game I did before that for Sky was when my condition was really bad, Rotherham versus Shrewsbury.' Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
