Liverpool 2025/26 lineup prediction with Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz included
Liverpool is sparing no expense in bolstering the squad ahead of defending the Premier League title in the 2025/26 season. Last week, Virgil van Dijk hoisted the trophy at Anfield after the Reds secured a 1-1 draw with FA Cup winners Crystal Palace. While Liverpool celebrated with the fans before ugly scenes ensued, Arne Slot and Richard Hughes are firmly focused on the transfer market. Advertisement On Friday, Jeremie Frimpong signed for Liverpool, with the Bayer Leverkusen star replacing Real Madrid-bound Trent Alexander-Arnold. Liverpool triggered Frimpong's $39.2 million (£29.5m) release clause to complete the deal; Frimpong scored 30 goals and tallied 44 assists in 190 appearances for the Bundesliga club. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz mega offer, Luis Diaz 'talks', Jeremie Frimpong confirmed READ MORE: Bayer Leverkusen sends cryptic Florian Wirtz social media post as Liverpool transfer edges closer Frimpong may not be the only player to switch from Leverkusen to Liverpool amid Florian Wirtz rumors. After a hectic week, Liverpool appears in pole position to secure the German international's services. Advertisement Wirtz reportedly has his heart set on a move to Anfield, while the Reds are locked in advanced negotiations to complete the blockbuster move. The 22-year-old would represent a marquee signing, and Slot isn't stopping there. Milos Kerkez, the Bournemouth left-back who starred for the Cherries this season, is another heavily linked name. With the addition of Frimpong, Kerkez, and Wirtz to their roster next season, Liverpool is preparing to field a formidable XI that could strike fear into its competitors. Despite the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili this summer following a transfer agreed upon last year, Alisson Becker should undoubtedly remain the top choice in goal. The Georgian international will likely have to settle for a bench spot during his inaugural year at Anfield, with Alisson remaining the starting goalkeeper. However, the back four are in for a shake-up. Frimpong will vie with Conor Bradley for the right-back position, a competition that could benefit the Northern Ireland international as he works on his fitness. Jeremie Frimpong completed his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen on Friday -Credit:2025 Liverpool FC Kerkez is expected to step directly into the left-back role, replacing Andy Robertson. Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate retain their central defense positions, leaving Slot with another midfield conundrum. Advertisement Wirtz seems destined for the No. 10 role, which Dominik Szoboszlai frequently filled this past season. The German is anticipated to be a regular starter, which might relegate Szoboszlai to a rotational role. Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch certainly don't deserve to be sidelined. Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo bring the firepower from both wings, leaving only the No. 9 position to be determined. Currently, Luis Diaz or Diogo Jota would be the likely choices, with Darwin Nunez expected to make a move this summer. However, if funds allow it, Liverpool should be in the market for a new striker. While a move for Alexander Isak will likely prove too pricey, given Newcastle is in the Champions League next season, a former Manchester City star would fit the bill. Julian Alvarez could be available. The Atletico Madrid forward, who scored 29 goals last season, seems like a more feasible option than Isak, particularly if a swap deal involving Nunez can be negotiated. Should Alvarez join the Reds, the potential line-up for next season will have fans on the edge of their seats. Liverpool's possible 2025/26 line-up could be: Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Alvarez.

Man who flipped car over onto roof is handed driving ban
A MAN who had been drinking when he flipped his car over onto its roof while driving through Marston Magna has been given a 16-month driving ban by the courts. Ronnie Andrew Howes had been drinking before getting behind the wheel and being involved in a single vehicle accident on the A359. After being taken to hospital for checks he provided a blood sample which showed he was over the limit, Somerset Magistrates were told. Howes, 35, of Hood Road, Yeovil pleaded guilty to a charge of drink driving on November 2 last year. Prosecutor Genna Morgan said on the day in question the police were alerted at 1.45pm of an accident involving a single car on the A359 at Marston Magna. MORE COURT NEWS: Motorist - who swerved to avoid pothole and crashed - is banned for drink driving 'When they arrived they found a vehicle on its roof and could see the driver was under the influence of something, was slurring his words and smelt of alcohol,' she said. Howes was checked over by paramedics and taken to hospital and a blood test revealed a reading of 129mlg of alcohol in 100ml of blood. The legal limit is 80mlg of alcohol. Defending solicitor Greg Peters said his client blamed the incident on a 'moment of madness.' 'He says it will have a profound effect on his life both physically and mentally as he now has a serious wrist injury and limited mobility,' he said. MORE COURT NEWS: Teenager on motorbike - with cocaine and cannabis in system - fled from police 'He is grateful that nobody else was hurt and just cannot explain why he drove that day.' At the time Howes was homeless but had just secured a new job and would now be investing in a bike to be able to get to work. Alongside the driving disqualification the magistrates fined him £461 with a £184 victim surcharge and £85 costs.

Trzaskowski: pro-EU polyglot eyeing Polish presidency
Centrist Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, running neck-and-neck with his nationalist rival ahead of Poland's presidential runoff, is an avowed Europhile pledging to relax abortion laws and protect LGBTQ rights. Trzaskowski narrowly won the first round of voting on May 18, polling 31 percent against 30 percent for Karol Nawrocki, a historian backed by the conservative opposition. "I promise you that I will be a president who unites, who is ready to talk to everyone," Trzaskowski promised a crowd of supporters as he rallied for support a week before the runoff. A former deputy foreign minister, the 53-year-old is also the son of a jazz pioneer and great-grandson of the man who created Poland's first secondary schools for girls. Trzaskowski is backed by the governing Civic Coalition party of Prime Minister Donald Tusk and will face off against Nawrocki, the Law and Justice candidate. Trzaskowski narrowly lost his first presidential bid in 2020 to the conservative Andrzej Duda, who backs Nawrocki. - Early start - Trzaskowski comes from an intellectual Warsaw family. His father Andrzej was a famous pianist during the 1950s, when jazz was considered the music of the "enemy" under the Iron Curtain. Trzaskowski himself started out in politics in a seismic year for the former Soviet bloc -- 1989, when the Berlin Wall came down. A teenager at the time, he quit school and worked as a volunteer campaigning during the first free elections in Poland, which marked the end of the communist era. He graduated from the University of Warsaw, where he later earned a doctorate with a thesis on EU reform. He has also studied in Oxford and Paris, and at the College of Europe outside Warsaw. He speaks English, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish and worked for a time as an English teacher. As a Francophile, he has even earned the nickname "Bonjour", or hello in French -- a jab from critics who view Trzaskowski as elitist. In 2000, he worked on Poland's accession to the European Union, then became an adviser to the Civic Platform delegation in the European Parliament. He became an EU lawmaker in 2009, and in 2013 joined an earlier government led by Tusk, who went on to become president of the European Council. Trzaskowski first served as technology minister and then deputy foreign minister. As a member of the Polish parliament between 2015 and 2018, he was elected vice president of the European People's Party in 2017. Trzaskowski was elected mayor of Warsaw in 2018 and re-elected in 2024, but critics say he has failed to do enough while in office. - 'Absurd' - Trzaskowski, who is married with two children, has vowed to campaign for women's rights and legalise abortion in the predominantly Catholic country, which has a near-total ban on the procedure. In March, on International Women's Day, he promised to ensure that "this medieval anti-abortion law becomes a thing of the past". He has said he would back measures to allow abortion until the 12th week -- a move pledged by the Civic Coalition, which has yet to vote the changes through in parliament. On LGBTQ rights, another hot-button issue in Poland, Trzaskowski has said he backed the idea of civil unions, including for same-sex couples. The European Court of Human Rights has condemned Poland for refusing to recognise and protect same-sex couples, who cannot marry or register their partnerships. In an election debate in April, Trzaskowski said it was "completely absurd that two people... who are together their whole lives, cannot visit each other in the hospital or inherit from one another". When he was elected Warsaw mayor, he signed an "LGBT+ Declaration" promising to protect gay people, angering the country's right-wing nationalists, who campaign against a perceived "LGBT ideology". But as he tried to woo voters from across the political spectrum ahead of the runoff, he was photographed chatting over pints with far-right leader Slawomir Mentzen. In a Facebook post he once described his love of old books and stated that he had smoked marijuana in his youth but only "rarely". He owns a French bulldog named Babel ("Bubble"), with whom he frequently poses for photos. bur-mmp/amj/srg/lb
