Liverpool have signed the NEXT Fernando Torres
Liverpool have their next Fernando Torres and he's special. We all remember that moment, well those of us who are old enough, because it was that long ago. Rio Ngumoha wasn't even born back back. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today!

Fernando Torres. A special performance. Capped off with a goal. And that knee slide in front of the crowd. That was the beginning of the Torres years at Liverpool. And oh my how beautiful those years were. How adored Torres was. El Nino was the talk of the city back then. No matter how it ended, Torres was iconic during his time at the club. He was Liverpool's best player at times and definitely a crowd favourite. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Liverpool have had great attacking players since. But they haven't really had a beloved no.9. That's about to change. Because 18 years later, Liverpool have another Torres. It's happening all over again. Once again a new era is starting. And it started at Anfield. Under the lights. Adidas long sleeve tops. Except it wasn't Chelsea who were the opponents but Bournemouth. But the end result was the same. Hugo Ekitike scoring, just like Torres did on his debut. And just like the Spaniard, he capped it off with a knee slide in front of the crowd. Ekitike's debut was as good as they come. He got himself an assist later on in the match providing Cody Gakpo with an opportunity he had to take, and he took it very calmly.

Ruben Amorim more confident in Man Utd ahead of new season
Ruben Amorim says he feels 'more confident' about Manchester United's qualities heading into Sunday's Premier League opener against Arsenal. A sense of optimism has returned to Old Trafford, just three months on from their worst top-flight campaign in 51 years being compounded by a damaging defeat in the Europa League final. Amorim has refreshed the squad, both in terms of personnel and mindset, since the end of a campaign in which the United head coach admitted he went into games knowing that they would struggle. But being backed in the transfer window over incomings and outgoings has helped changed that heading into Sunday's hotly-anticipated Old Trafford opener against Arsenal. 'It is hard to know (what we will deliver) because we cannot change everything in four weeks, but we are better,' Amorim said. 'I know that we are training harder, we are training better, so I know that we are more prepared to cope with the demands of the game. 'We have new players that we need to understand in the real game what they are capable to do in the moment. 'But I am really more confident. That is clear. I am more confident in this moment. 'But, again, we cannot change everything in four weeks but step by step we are going to be a better team, but of course I am more confident.' Benjamin Sesko is pushing to make his debut just a week on from joining the club from RB Leipzig, as are fellow summer acquisitions Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon. But there remains work to be done, with a number of players to shift out and a decision to be made on midfield after Brighton made clear they do not want to sell Carlos Baleba this summer. United are a work in progress but Amorim believes they are far better heading into the new campaign than the side that stumbled home 15th last term. 'We want to return to Europe, but it is hard as a Manchester United coach to say one thing like that,' he said. 'But we need to be realistic with our fans. We are going to have to fight a lot because there's a lot of good teams with more time than us together, but we are going to fight for it. 'We are going to improve. We want to focus game by game. If we are thinking now about how we are going to finish the season it is a problem. 'Let's focus on game by game. We want to win against Arsenal, that is the main focus.' The match against Mikel Arteta's Gunners pits Amorim against a striker he helped take to new heights. Viktor Gyokeres joined Sporting Lisbon from Coventry in 2023 and became one of Europe's most talked about frontmen in Europe under the Portuguese. There had been talk of a reunion with Amorim at Old Trafford but the Sweden international instead joined Arsenal and could make his debut against his former boss on Sunday. 'It's a different league,' Amorim said of Gyokeres. 'The physicality is different. 'In Sporting they have a very good group of scouting because they live from that, from the players they can buy and then sell to survive. 'I think he is a very good player. He is going to give different characteristics. 'It is going be different if we face in the beginning of the game Viktor or (Kai) Havertz, for example, so we need to be prepared for that but it's not a surprise to watch Viktor in a big club in England.'

Premier League: Mohamed Salah sets a massive new record
The Egyptian forward has further cemented his legendary status in the Premier League. Mohamed Salah - Liverpool / Photo : Premier League Mohamed Salah continues to write his own story in the Premier League. On Friday, August 15, 2025, during the opening day of the 2025-2026 season, the Egyptian striker for Liverpool netted his 10th goal in an opening match. He has set a new record at the very top of English football. A truly unique achievement for the Reds' superstar. With this latest strike against Bournemouth (a 4-2 victory for the Reds), Mohamed Salah becomes the all-time top scorer in the history of the Premier League on opening days. He has now surpassed Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, and Alan Shearer—icons of English football. A living legend at Anfield What is most impressive about the Egyptian star is his remarkable consistency. Mohamed Salah has scored in 8 out of 9 opening-day fixtures since joining Liverpool in 2017. Such consistency is rare and speaks to his meticulous preparation for every new campaign, as well as his incredible ability to hit the ground running from the very first whistle. Since his transfer from AS Roma, Mohamed Salah has been nothing short of sensational in a red shirt. In eight full seasons at Liverpool, he has stacked up trophies (Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup…) while maintaining astonishing numbers: over 200 goals in all competitions, and now 10 goals on opening days alone. At 33, he continues to prove he's still one of the most lethal strikers in Europe. Despite recurring transfer rumors, especially those linking him to Saudi Arabia, Mohamed Salah appears more committed than ever to Liverpool's project under Arne Slot, Jürgen Klopp's successor.
