Door OPENS for Liverpool to complete dream forward transfer
Unlike Alexander Isak, who Newcastle will be reluctant to sell, there's a forward playing in France who is pretty much tailor-made for Slot's style of play and who could be available for a bargain price.
We're talking about Georges Mikautadze. The Georgian attacker reminds us of Diogo Jota in his prime. He's quick and he latches onto chances brilliantly.

Last year he stepped up for Georgia scoring three times in four matches to end-up as the joint-top scorer in the tournament.
Mikautadze has followed that up with a solid campaign for Lyon, where he made 28 goal contributions in 47 matches.
Those numbers make him an ideal target. Mikautadze can be very clinical in front of goal and he's versatile - he can play across the front three, which is exactly the type of forward Liverpool are looking for at the moment.

Harvey Elliott shrugs off painful knee-slide celebration to lead England to U-21 final
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — Harvey Elliott's knee-slide celebration was brief — and painful. The Liverpool midfielder scored twice to help England beat the Netherlands 2-1 on Wednesday and advance to the Under-21 European Championship final. Elliott went into his celebration after opening the scoring in 62nd minute. But instead of sliding, he hit the dry pitch and tumbled forward, leaving a divot behind him. He told broadcaster Channel 4 after the semifinal that his knee was 'hurting' and added 'hopefully it's nothing too silly.' 'I forgot the pitch was ridiculously dry. It's the price I've got to pay, but it is what it is,' said Elliott, who played on after the close-range strike. After Noah Ohio had equalized for the Dutch, Elliott netted a left-footed winner in the 86th. England, the defending champion, will play Germany in the final on Saturday. ___ AP soccer:
