Liverpool to submit new offer for star 'very keen' to join
Time is running out in the transfer window and Liverpool are still in the race to complete multiple deals. It's been a long summer, and the next two weeks are going to be even crazier than anything that has happened in the lead up to this. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Liverpool are far from being done in the transfer market. Richard Hughes wanted to rebuild Arne Slot's side this summer and the final pieces in the jigsaw are still yet to be secured. The first of those jigsaw pieces is Alexander Isak. He's been Liverpool's dream target for a long time and next week we should find a resolution to the saga that has been going on for the longest time. Liverpool may add another winger to the equation as well. Although it remains to be seen whether with such little time left they can find the right target. But the other key piece of the puzzle is Marc Guehi. 🔴 Like Isak, the Crystal Palace captain has long been on Liverpool's radar. In fact, the Reds have wanted to sign him since the beginning of the summer. Guehi has one year left on his contract and it's clear that he doesn't want to extend. He wants to leave the club. Whether it's in the next two weeks or next summer, the end result will be the same. So, it's in Palace's interest to make sure that he goes this summer. At least this way they won't lose him for nothing but they can actually get compensated for making Guehi into the player he is today. Liverpool have been working on a deal to do exactly that. They haven't yet succeeded but it looks like they are going to make another push for the Crystal Palace star.

British horseracing to go on strike in protest against rise in betting taxes
LONDON (AP) — British horseracing will stage an unprecedented one-day strike on Sept. 10 to protest a proposed rise in taxes on race betting. The four scheduled meetings that day — at Carlisle, Uttoxeter, Lingfield and Kempton — will not take place after agreements between the owners of the courses and the British Horseracing Authority, making it the first time the sport in Britain has voluntarily refused to race in modern history. The BHA set up the 'Axe the Racing Tax' campaign in response to proposals to replace the existing three-tax structure of online gambling duties with a single tax, with fears the current 15% duty on racing could be increased to the 21% levied on games of chance. Brant Dunshea, chief executive at the British Horseracing Authority, said the strike intends to 'highlight to (the) government the serious consequences of the treasury's tax proposals which threaten the very future of our sport.' 'British racing is already in a precarious financial position and research has shown that a tax rise on racing could be catastrophic for the sport and the thousands of jobs that rely on it in towns and communities across the country," Dunshea said. 'This is the first time that British racing has chosen not to race due to government proposals. We haven't taken this decision lightly but in doing so we are urging the government to rethink this tax proposal to protect the future of our sport which is a cherished part of Britain's heritage and culture." The British government said it was bringing the 'treatment of online betting in line with other forms of online gambling to cut down bureaucracy.' 'It is not about increasing or decreasing rates,' the government said, "and we welcome views from all stakeholders including businesses, trade bodies, the third sector and individuals.' ___ AP sports: The Associated Press

Premier League Team of the Week – Raya, Ballard, Reijnders
Our Premier League Team of the Week is back for the first time in 2025/26. Here are our standouts from the league's opening weekend. Goalkeeper: David Raya – Arsenal A good goalkeeper can make all the difference, and Arsenal's 1-0 win at Manchester United proved that better than most. While Altay Bayindir's blunder gifted Arsenal the decisive goal, the Gunners had their own David Raya pulling off heroics at the other end. No goalkeeper made more saves than Raya (7) this weekend, with his reflex stop from Matheus Cunha arguably the best of the Premier League's opening games. Right-back: Josh Acheampong – Chelsea Drafted in as a late replacement for Tosin Adarabioyo, the performance of Josh Acheampong might lead Enzo Maresca to rethink his desire for a new centre-back. The 19-year-old remains a work in progress but was excellent in the goalless draw with Crystal Palace. He carried the ball confidently forward down the right-hand side as Reece James inverted into midfield and won 9/12 defensive duels. Centre-back: Dan Ballard – Sunderland A hero of Sunderland's play-off campaign and a protagonist again during the club's stunning success on their return to the Premier League. Ballard was outstanding defensively with nine clearances, including one off the goal-line, and a 100% success rate in ground duels (4/4). At the other end, he scored Sunderland's second with a brilliant header, as the Black Cats thrashed West Ham 3-0 on Wearside. Centre-back: Dan Burn – Newcastle It's an all-North East pairing at the back with Dan Burn immense in Newcastle's draw at Aston Villa. Burn barely gave England teammate Ollie Watkins a sniff, won six aerial duels, and put in some crucial challenges. Left-back: Rayan Ait-Nouri – Manchester City Wolves were well aware of the threat Rayan Ait-Nouri can pose, but could do little to stop their former favourite. Ait-Nouri had an impressive Premier League debut against his old side, leading his teammates for tackles, clearances, and interceptions. The Algerian has added a more traditional left-back to Pep Guardiola's squad and looks a fine fit. Midfield: Elliot Anderson – Nottingham Forest Has Anderson won the assist of the season on the opening weekend? His first-time slide-rule pass to release Chris Wood against Brentford was a thing of beauty, the latest highlight for a midfielder who is getting better and better at Forest. An England call-up surely beckons for Anderson on this form. Midfield: Tijjani Reijnders – Manchester City A dream debut for the Manchester City midfielder. Reijnders opened up the game for the opener at Wolves, with a wonderful slalom run and lofted pass into Rico Lewis. He doubled the lead with a crisp finish for the second, before setting up Erling Haaland for the third. The Dutchman is the first Manchester City player to score and assist on debut since Sergio Aguero in 2011. Superb. Midfield: Morgan Gibbs-White – Nottingham Forest How Forest fans will be relieved that their club has managed to hold onto Morgan Gibbs-White. The midfielder was magnificent in the 3-1 win over Brentford, with the midfield trio of the England international, Elliot Anderson, and Ibrahima Sangare full of class. He got his first assist of the season with a delicious cross for Dan Ndoye to head home and was full of invention all afternoon. Forward: Richarlison – Tottenham Hotspur Followed an impressive outing in the UEFA Super Cup with a standout showing to stake his claim to be Tottenham's number nine. The Brazilian guided in a brilliant opener from Mohammed Kudus's cross, before scoring a spectacular scissor-kick second as the same two players combined again. Alongside his two goals, he worked tirelessly out of possession to lead the press. Forward: Hugo Ekitike – Liverpool Marked his Premier League debut with a goal after netting in last week's Community Shield. The Frenchman kept his cool when powering in on the Bournemouth goal, and later turned provider for Cody Gakpo to double the lead. He's made an instant impression at Anfield. Forward: Erling Haaland – Manchester City Erling Haaland just loves playing in August. The Norwegian resumed normal service for the Premier League's opening month with two clinical goals in Manchester City's 4-0 win at Wolves. Haaland has now scored 21 Premier League goals in August, in just 12 games. Absurd. Read – See more – Follow The Football Faithful on Social Media: | | | |
