If you just simplify it to what we've seen in terms of his contribution and minutes played, Slot obviously doesn't fancy him."Slot has played a winger, Luis Diaz, ahead of him as a striker at times. That tells you everything you need to know."I would be amazed if Darwin stayed. I think the writing is on the wall for him."Another player whose future is uncertain is Harvey midfielder made 18 Premier League appearances for the Reds last season but started just two games and recently suggested his future is uncertain by saying: "You never know what's going to happen."Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has already left Liverpool to join Brentford, and a busy summer of incomings and outgoings is set to continue for a while longer MORE: How Liverpool have changed tack in the transfer market

Liverpool are in talks to sign Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez for between £45m and £ agreement has yet been reached between the two clubs, but the Reds have stepped up their efforts to sign him over the last couple of current sporting director Richard Hughes was at Bournemouth when Kerkez joined the Cherries after leaving AZ Alkmaar in Hungary defender dropped a small hint over his future on Instagram recently, posting: "I don't know what will happen in the next week but Cherries family thank you!"Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy told BBC Sport: "Kerkez from Bournemouth is a really good option. He's quick, he's got good feet, likes defending one-on-one. He is very tenacious, great energy, and is only 21."It fits the criteria of Liverpool's recruitment team measured by ability to progress and become more of an asset. I think that's quite likely to happen."The left-back ranks second for most distanced covered of all Premier League full-backs this season (behind only Fulham's Antonee Robinson) and third for most has made the third-most open play crosses in the Premier League and has eight goal involvements this campaign (two goals and six assists).His arrival would raise questions about the future of Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, with the Reds unlikely to need all three left-backs next would be the expected departure but, with Champions League interest in Robertson, his exit instead is a the full article here

Idah insists he can handle 'big pressure' at Celtic

Striker Adam Idah is convinced he can handle the "big pressure" that comes with playing for 24-year-old, who completed a reported £9.5m switch from Norwich to Celtic Park last summer after a successful loan spell, finished the campaign with 20 goals despite making almost half his 53 appearances from the he also suffered testing periods, not least after a video of him apparently vomiting from a taxi circulated on social media, prompting a stern defence from manager Brendan about the pressure, Idah said: "The pressure is a lot and you are expected to deliver. I think with my experience now, you have to put that behind you. You know what you are good at."If you don't score for a couple of games, it is not helpful to listen to an ex-player. I am not really concerned with what he thinks - I am there to do my bit."I had a good run in the last few games, but I know it can turn quick. That is football. There have been plenty of games I have gone without scoring in, you have to stay focused and help the team."There is a lot of pressure at the club to be successful. It is good, I think. Every player wants to play at a big club, but what comes with a big club is the pressure."Rodgers' backing was welcome, but Idah has vowed to continue to live his life despite having to do so in the spotlight at times."At the end of the day I am a human being," he added. "I go out. I don't have to stay inside all the time. It's hard when people are videoing you, it can be quite upsetting, especially when the story is made out to be what it is not."It can be tough, but like I said, I am human and I'm going to carry on with my life."
