Guehi and Glasner remain on good terms

Yahoo6 hours ago
Footage of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi appearing to ignore his manager Oliver Glasner after Sunday's draw at Chelsea certainly got tongues wagging.
Guehi is the subject of interest from Liverpool, who last week opened talks with Palace over a potential £35million deal to sign the England international.
So the sight of Guehi refusing Glasner's approach on the pitch after the final whistle at Stamford Bridge, and the Austrian's apparent subsequent confusion, has resulted in speculation as to why, particularly given the Premier League champions' efforts to sign him.
However, BBC Sport understands Guehi's reaction was merely a result of his disappointment at the goalless draw at Chelsea and the fact he wanted to keep any debriefs in the confines of the dressing room.
Guehi and Glasner, who have kept close communication throughout the summer despite the prospect of the 25-year-old leaving Selhurst Park, remain on good terms.

Jamie Carragher gives Liverpool fans glimpse into future with Viktor Gyokeres claim

Jamie Carragher has boldly suggested that Mikel Arteta won't be deploying new signing Viktor Gyokeres in Arsenal's most significant matches this season. That would include Arsenal's Premier League title clashes with Liverpool. The first of those games will take place at Anfield on Sunday, August 31. Liverpool's trip to the Emirates this season is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, January 7. Carragher's statement left fellow pundit Gary Neville surprised, as he held a completely different opinion. Gyokeres was in the starting eleven for Arsenal's season opener against Manchester United, but was substituted after an hour following a performance deemed "clumsy." READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news as cult hero 'accelerates' exit after new signings READ MORE: 'I won trophies at Liverpool - but now my sons play for Manchester City' The Swedish international struggled to make an impact in the match and failed to take a single shot during his time on the pitch, despite Arsenal securing victory at Old Trafford due to a blunder from United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. Reflecting on the impressive record Arteta's team has amassed against their high-profile rivals - Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham - Carragher hinted that Gyokeres might not feature against such teams, given Arsenal's 22-match unbeaten streak against them. Carragher is confident that Gyokeres will have no problem scoring goals throughout the season, but believes Kai Havertz is too important to leave out. "If I'm being honest, I think they go back to Havertz in the biggest games, I think that will be the case," Carragher said on Sky Sports. "I can see Gyokeres playing and scoring goals." Neville countered: "He can't leave Gyokeres out of big games." But Carragher stood his ground, adding: "He can. I think Havertz is too important a player for Mikel Arteta to be left out. I don't see that happening at all." Neville proposed that the two stars could form a powerful partnership on the field. "Arsenal needed a center forward and brought one in, I saw glimpses that made me think he'll be a handful," he commented. "[Gabriel] Martinelli looks like he's struggling, maybe getting Gyokeres and Havertz in together is something he has to try." After Arsenal's triumph over United, Arteta admitted there was still work to be done to fully integrate Gyokeres into his team but was satisfied with his initial performance. "Well, he did a lot of things very good," the Spaniard remarked. "You can tell, especially in our high-pressing rhythm that we demand that, especially in the first hour. Again, he took too much time. It's something that we have to work on him, especially there. "And then, yeah, finalizing situation, he didn't have that many chances to do that because, as I said, on the previous action, before we had to play that last ball that the line was standing still with 40 metres behind. "We then managed to put the ball through to exploit his quality. But overall, I mean, coming away to Manchester United, winning your first game with Arsenal, it's a good start."

Why Liverpool fans' Federico Chiesa chant has sparked an online war

Liverpool serenaded Italian forward Federico Chiesa with his signature song after the diminutive forward scored the go-ahead goal in the club's opening Premier League match of the 2025/26 campaign against Bournemouth last Friday. Here are the lyrics (to the tune of 'Sway' by Dean Martin): 'We can hear them crying in Turin, Federico, he's here to win., One chat with Arne Slot and he said 'ciao', f--- off Juve, I'm a Kopite now…' While Chiesa admitted he was "really grateful for the song" post-match, it sparked some ire due to its strong anti-Juventus slant. Chiesa played for the Italian giants from 2020 to 2024, scoring 32 goals in 131 appearances.

Fans from each side were separated on either end of the stadium. A mixed section near the Liverpool supporters contained only fans purchasing tickets in Belgium. Instead, it was filled with a plethora an Italian expats (and Juventus fans) living abroad. Reds fans breached the section, separated only by a thin fence, prior to kick-off as Juventus attempted to flee. A wall collapsed, causing 39 fans to die and a local state of siege to be called. The match continued despite the captains of both clubs being made aware that fans may have died — the decision was made by a collection of local and other European authorities. Juventus won the contest 1-0. English fans were subsequently banned from European competition for an indefinite period of time. Since then, Liverpool has only played the Italian giants twice: both legs of the 2004/05 Champions League. The club attempted to show solidarity with a tifo preaching friendship, though the gesture generally split the Juventus fanbase. The Chiesa chant, which also adorned Wembley Stadium during the 2025 Community Shield, will likely remain a staple throughout the season if the Italian stays.

However, the departures of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, as well as the death of Diogo Jota, have opened up playing time for Chiesa. 'The fans sang for him so many times last season, and it is very nice for him to give them something in return," Liverpool manager Arne Slot said of his versatile forward. 'That is difficult for me to tell you [why supporters have taken to Chiesa so well], although I am a fan, I am never standing on the Kop and don't come up with these songs. 'The only thing I can come up with is Federico had a great history, was a big player deciding to go from Italy to England, which you don't see that much," he added. 'I don't know, maybe it is also a nice song to sing, but then I probably don't give him the credits he deserves.'

Right Back moves from Serie A to Wolves in €12m transfer

Wolves Secure Jackson Tchatchoua Signing Jackson Tchatchoua has spoken of his ambition to 'conquer this dream' after completing his move to Wolves from Hellas Verona, marking a significant step in his rapidly rising career. Ambition Meets Opportunity The 23-year-old defender joins Wolves on a five-year contract, with the option of a further year, in a deal worth €12m (£10.4m). For a player who carved his reputation in Serie A, this transfer feels like both a natural progression and a bold leap into one of football's most demanding environments. Having featured 43 times last season for club and country, Tchatchoua was central to Verona's fight for survival in Italy's top flight, while also helping Cameroon secure qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations. His move to the Premier League arrives at a time when Wolves are seeking energy and versatility in wide areas — qualities he appears to embody. Pace and Versatility Tchatchoua has already made a name for himself as one of Serie A's quickest players, clocking a top speed of 36.3km/h. Add in two goals and three assists, and his attacking contribution matches his defensive discipline. Capable of operating both as a right wing-back and a full-back, he offers the kind of adaptability that modern football increasingly demands. 'I can play wing-back, I can play full-back. When the space is free, I really like it, and I can play both [positions]. I will play the position the coach puts me on the pitch – for the team and for the coach,' he said. First Impressions of Wolves Tchatchoua's early reflections on Molineux suggest he has already found a sense of belonging. 'My first impressions [of the club] are that we have everything here. It's not too big, it's not too small. It's very good. I spoke with some people from the club and everyone enjoys it. I feel a good atmosphere in this club. I'm very excited to play. It's one of my dreams, and I want to conquer this dream.' For Wolves, his arrival represents more than just an investment in potential; it is a statement of intent. The Premier League is an unforgiving stage, but with his pace, hunger and tactical awareness, Jackson Tchatchoua has the attributes to thrive.
