ANOTHER right-back set to join Liverpool after Jeremie Frimpong
Luca Stephenson is a name not many Liverpool fans will have heard of. Yet, he was involved in Liverpool's first team during pre-season last summer.
Stephenson made four appearances under Slot, all of them as a right-back, playing an entire half against Arsenal.

The talented youngster then went on loan to Dundee United where he has enjoyed a terrific season. Stephenson helped Dundee reach a European spot and won the club's Young Player of the Year Award.
In the process, he became a key player, often playing as a wing-back and contributing with three goals and two assists in 31 league appearances.
But he also showcased his versatility and demonstrated he could play not just as a right-back but in many other positions as well.

The summer 2025 transfer window on The Athletic
While it sometimes might feel as though the football season never actually ends, we do, at least, have a temporary pause in men's club action in Europe. The Champions League final has been and gone. The Club World Cup does not start for another 13 days. So, what better time to tell you about The Athletic's plans for the summer transfer window? Advertisement Yes, it might only be June 3, but the temporary Club World Cup window is already open — and you don't have to be in the competition to profit. Liverpool have already done significant business, and are trying to do more. Manchester City are actively pursuing new players. Real Madrid are spending €10million (£8.4m; $11.4m) in a single payment to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold in early ahead of the tournament. The moves have started in earnest. That has been reflected in The Athletic's output over the last few days. We have already introduced our new format, TLDR. This is a quick guide to each of the key deals over the course of the transfer window, and a place where you can quickly find out everything you need to know about a transfer and the player involved. Want to know Jeremie Frimpong's backstory, how he plays, and the finances behind the deal? TLDR has you covered. Today, we launch The Transfer DealSheet for another summer. Powered by our incredible team of reporters and published every Tuesday morning throughout the summer window, The Transfer DealSheet also features David Ornstein's One To Watch each week. Keen to know more about the plans for a single club this window? We've published individual team guides across the website and app this morning. Those are our tentpole formats, but we also have a team behind our transfer content who are raring to go as and when other topics need to be tackled. They will bring you in-depth tactical and data-driven analysis, news takeaways on key transfer topics, financial explainers, features on issues that crop up over the course of the window and more information than you'd ever ask for on PSR. Beyond the written word, our flagship podcast The Athletic FC will be covering The Transfer DealSheet every week and will run three times a week — Monday, Wednesday and Friday — during the summer. Advertisement Our video team will also be bringing you episodes of The DealSheet and Sensible Transfers throughout the summer. And as always, The Athletic promises you that we will follow our rigorous sourcing guidelines before publishing any information. Unless otherwise stated, our reporters will have spoken to more than one person briefed on each deal before offering the clubs involved the opportunity to comment. Thanks, as ever, for subscribing to The Athletic, and we hope you enjoy everything we have planned this summer.

South Korea on cusp, Uzbeks eye historic World Cup spot
European club trophy winners Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in will hope to fire South Korea to the World Cup in the coming days with four remaining automatic spots from Asia up for grabs. Japan and Iran have already sealed their berths at the tournament next year in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Advertisement South Korea are guaranteed to join them on Thursday if they avoid defeat against Iraq in Basra. Even if they lose, they will have another opportunity at home to Kuwait next Tuesday in Group B. South Korea and Spurs captain Son did not have his best club season but the 32-year-old attacker finished it off by lifting the Europa League trophy. Attacking midfielder Lee on Saturday collected a Champions League winner's medal with Paris Saint-Germain after they thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich, although he remained on the bench for the final. South Korea coach Hong Myung-bo suggested he could use Son sparingly at the end of a long campaign in which the country's talisman has struggled for form and fitness. Advertisement "Since we have two matches coming up, I will not push him too hard," said Hong, who believes Son will have a role to play even if he does not feature against an Iraq side now coached by former Australia boss Graham Arnold. "We will probably play in a hostile environment in front of partisan fans," Hong said. "We have some players who have had experience playing in these situations." - China in deep trouble - Japan were the first country to qualify for North America after running away with Group C. With the top two from the three Asian groups automatically qualifying, second-placed Australia are in pole position to go through with Japan with two match days left. Advertisement The Socceroos host Japan in Perth on Thursday knowing that if they win and third-placed Saudi Arabia fail to do the same at Bahrain, they will qualify. Most likely however qualification will go down to the final round of matches on Tuesday when Australia travel to Saudi Arabia for a winner-takes-all blockbuster. "We've put ourselves in a good position within the group to be in control of our destiny," said coach Tony Popovic, who took over the Socceroos in September following Arnold's resignation. Indonesia are still mathematically in the running for an automatic place out of Group C, four points behind Australia and one behind the Saudis. Advertisement Patrick Kluivert's Indonesia host China in Jakarta on Thursday followed by a trip to Japan. China's World Cup hopes are hanging by a thread at the bottom of the group. Even if teams do not finish in the top two of their pool, their World Cup hopes are not over. Third and fourth go into a further round of Asian qualifying. In Group A, where Iran have already qualified, Uzbekistan are on the cusp of their first World Cup. Avoid defeat to third-placed United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi and the Central Asian country will make history. For Asian champions Qatar, the best they can hope for is to come third or fourth and go into the next qualifying round. They host Iran before travelling to Uzbekistan and will be coached for the first time by former West Ham United, Real Madrid and Spain boss Julen Lopetegui. pst/dh
