Liverpool fend off Premier League rival in Hugo Ekitike transfer

Liverpool are nearing a deal to sign striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, with personal terms already agreed with the player. Reports of a €90 million (£78 million) bid being accepted are inaccurate, as the two clubs are still negotiating the transfer fee and its structure. Ekitike, 23, impressed in the Bundesliga, scoring 15 goals in 31 games for Frankfurt after joining permanently last summer. Newcastle United previously had a £70 million offer for the France Under-21 international rejected and have since dropped out of the race. The potential arrival of Ekitike could prompt the departures of Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa as Liverpool aim to balance their finances.

'Sir Alex Ferguson has me to thank for signing Man Utd icon - he fell off his chair'

A former Manchester United player has taken credit for convincing the Premier League giants to sign a star who played a crucial role in their 1999 treble-winning success. Former Manchester United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has claimed Sir Alex Ferguson has him to thank for signing club icon Dwight Yorke. The Australian was a team-mate and close friend of Yorke's during their time at Aston Villa in the mid-90s. ‌ It was the summer of 1998 when Sir Alex made his move to bring the Trinidadian striker to Old Trafford after scoring 97 in 284 appearances for Villa. The acquisition of Yorke for £12.6million proved to be a masterstroke as he instantly made a vital impact, netting 29 times during United's historic treble-winning campaign in 1998/99 ‌ However, Bosnich has now revealed that the Red Devils were initially on the fence about Yorke due to doubts about his character. That was until the Australian received a phone call from his former United youth coach Eric Harrison and reassured him of his personal qualities. ‌ Speaking on ex-United and Wrexham shot-stopper Ben Foster 's Fozcast podcast, Bosnich said Yorke was stunned when he heard the news. "Eric Harrison originally got in contact with me and asked about him and his character," he said. "At the time, he said there was a debate about whether or not he'd be the right person. I told him, and I told the manager that he'll win you the European Cup and he did. "He was the final piece of that jigsaw. I thought with Yorkie coming in, he's something a little bit different. He struck up a really good partnership with Andy Cole and they were phenomenal that year. ‌ "When they were ringing, it put me in a difficult position, because it was like, 'Well, don't say anything to him,' and then I'm going out with him that night for dinner. Of course, I told him and he immediately fell out of his chair." After winning the treble, Yorke also bagged his fair share the following term with 23 goals during the 1999/2000 season. One of his best performances for United came in February 2001, when he scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 demolition of Arsenal at Old Trafford. ‌ He scored 65 goals in 152 appearances for the Premier League giants between 1998 and 2002 before moving to Blackburn Rovers. Yorke and Bosnich were reunited in 1999 during the keeper's ill-fated second stint at United. Bosnich said the key to getting the best out of the striker was to adopt a soft approach towards him. He added that he passed this advice on to Sir Alex ahead of Yorke's arrival at United. ‌ "Dwight is as tough as they come, but he's very emotional too," he said. "In a dressing room scenario, you have to put your arm around him if you want the best out of him and I told this to Fergie. "It was sort of a love-hate a little bit with him and Ron Atkinson [at Villa]. Then when Brian Little came in, he really put his arm around him. That really brought the best out of him and he was scoring 20 plus goals."

Liverpool and Arsenal tipped to duke it out for the Premier League next season, with the 15/8 Reds backed to retain their crown

As the new Premier League season draws nearer, the full picture of the squads that will be taking to the field has begun to emerge. And with that, Sky Bet believe Liverpool, priced at 15/8, are the favourites to win the English top-flight again next term. Arne Slot men have invested heavily in a squad that cruised to the title last season. They will be very hard to stop but their challengers have also drafted in quality recruits. Sky Bet make Arsenal the second favourites for the title, priced at 2/1, while Manchester City are priced at 11/4. Club World Cup winners Chelsea round out the top four, with Newcastle tipped the finish fifth. They are priced at 15/2 and 22/1 to win the division. Somewhat surprisingly, Man United are the sixth favourites for the title with odds of 33/1 to go back ahead of their arch rivals Liverpool for number of league titles won. Sky Bet odds for Premier League Winner 2025-26: Liverpool 15/8 Arsenal 2/1 Man City 11/4 Chelsea 15/2 Newcastle 22/1 Man Utd 33/1 Tottenham 40/1
