📊 Alexis Mac Allister's stunner shows improvement since Brighton 🚀

Yahoo06-04-2025
Alexis Mac Allister has endeared himself to Liverpool supporters since arriving from Brighton, and his goal today against Fulham will go a long way to adding further credit to his account.The Argentine international produced a moment of real quality to open the scoring for Arne Slot's side at Craven Cottage as they take on Fulham, powering his way beyond a towering Sander Berge in the process.
After picking up a loose ball just outside the centre circle, Mac Allister drove just into the final third while holding off the big Norwegian before unleashing an unstoppable drive beyond Bernd Leno.
The German shot-stopper was left with no chance, and with that, Mac Allister bagged his ninth goal for Liverpool, three of which have come from long-range.

That betters his previous ratio of three out of 16 during his Brighton days, and though Fulham would go on to take the lead after goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Alex Iwobi, that strike will surely be a contender for Goal of the Month.

'It's go time' - USMNT's Tyler Adams targets breakthrough season with Bournemouth

Adams completed full Gold Cup tournament after injury-plagued season Emphasizes importance of preseason for this season Adams made 32 appearances for the Cherries last season WHAT HAPPENED Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams revealed his ambitious plans for the upcoming Premier League season, highlighting how his limited but successful return to action last spring has restored his confidence. The American has missed 47 games since he signed for the club in the summer of 2023 and emphasized that last season's brief return to Premier League action provided crucial psychological reassurance about his recovery. 'This past season gave me the confidence that I needed to now say: 'You could take the next step. Let's take another step in development. Take a step in pushing yourself',' Adams told the Athletic. 'Now it's like: 'OK, I'm back to myself, I feel like myself'...I've had a nice break. I'm going to be able to get a nice preseason. And (then) it's go time.' WHAT TYLER ADAMS SAID The 26-year-old also touched upon his time with the Gold Cup and the period spent with the USMNT squad, as well as Mauricio Pochettino. He admitted that it was a great learning experience for him and that he was able to iron out what the Argentine wanted and how he expected the team to work. 'It was a great learning experience,' Adams explained. 'Just because I hadn't been in his initial camps to begin with. So I think a lot of guys had a lot more time with him than I've had. Just ironing out that relationship, what he wants from the players, how the players can get the best out of the coaching staff, just balancing that relationship. 'You hear about him in the way that he works, but until you spend a month with him, you don't really know. I've had the opportunity to do that now, so I feel like that will be really helpful in the long run, for not just myself, but a lot of the young guys that had the first opportunity as well.' THE BIGGER PICTURE Adams has struggled with injuries ever since his move to the Premier League, missing a large chunk of games for both Leeds United and Bournemouth. His time with the Cherries has seen him struggle with back and hamstring injuries before returning to fitness in the second half of the 2024-25 season. WHAT'S NEXT? Adams played a part in Bournemouth's preseason program under manager Andoni Iraola and is now focused on the club's first game of the season against Liverpool on Aug. 15.

Manchester City receive official contact from Galatasaray over Ederson

Ederson could yet be on the move away from Manchester City this summer, with Galatasaray launching formal contact with the Premier League club over the player. The Brazilian's future has been a recurring theme throughout recent transfer windows, with strong interest from the Saudi Pro League last summer and again earlier in 2025, while the ongoing market has been dominated by interest from Turkey. While Ederson has appeared content to remain at the Etihad Stadium for the 2025/26 season, Manchester City have never fully ruled out a sale should the right proposal arrive – especially with plans for long-term squad evolution already in motion. City's goalkeeping department has already undergone significant changes this summer. James Trafford returned from Burnley in a £31 million deal – a record for a British goalkeeper – while Stefan Ortega's future remains uncertain amid Premier League and Bundesliga interest. Veteran Scott Carson has also departed after a lengthy stay as Manchester City's third-choice shot-stopper having made just two appearances under Pep Guardiola, replaced this summer by Chelsea's Marcus Bettinelli to maintain homegrown depth. There has also been speculation linking Manchester City with several high-profile replacements if Ederson were to leave, including FC Porto's Diogo Costa and PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma. And now, according to new information from Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray have made a direct approach to Manchester City concerning a potential deal for Ederson – the Turkish club's main target in the goalkeeper position this summer. It is clarified that PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma was never seen as a concrete option for Galatasaray, who have always been focussed on a deal for Ederson, with talks now ongoing on both the club and player's side. The approach from Galatasaray is a reflection of the Istanbul club's internal transfer strategy aimed at recruiting a proven Champions League-level goalkeeper to lead their squad both domestically and in Europe. Ederson, with over 370 appearances for Manchester City and a wealth of trophy-winning experience, fits that profile perfectly. From City's perspective, any deal would also depend on Galatasaray meeting their valuation for the 32-year-old. With the market for elite goalkeepers often volatile, Manchester City may also be reluctant to let Ederson go without clarity on who would step in immediately. If Galatasaray can satisfy the financial requirements, the coming weeks could see one of the more unexpected high-profile goalkeeper moves of the summer – and potentially a domino effect in the European market.
