Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall's representatives have reportedly offered him to Barcelona as they look for a way out of the Premier League club.

Bergvall could find it difficult to become a regular starter for Tottenham in the near future after they signed Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali during the summer transfer window.

Over the last two seasons, Bergvall has started 11 Premier League games in each, and his game time could easily decrease due to the new additions Spurs have made this summer.

Tottenham will likely want to keep Bergvall at the club heading into the new season due to his age and for squad depth reasons, but the young midfielder might have another idea.

There is undoubtedly interest in Bergvall this summer, and his agents are working on finding him a new club.

Tottenham star offers himself out

According to a report from Foot Mercato, the representatives of Tottenham midfielder Bergvall have held talks with Barcelona over a potential move to the La Liga club.

Unfortunately for the Swedish midfielder, Barcelona have no intention of reviving a deal for Bergvall after previously showing an interest back in 2024.

​​​​​​​

Bergvall's representatives held talks with Barcelona's sporting directors, led by Deco, and they are unwilling to reconsider signing him this summer.

Bergvall visited Barcelona in 2024 with his family, but Tottenham beat the La Liga giants to his signature due to offering more money.

A move to Barcelona doesn't appear to be on the table, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Bergvall headed through the exit door.

Tottenham will need sales this summer

If Tottenham are going to continue their big spending in the summer transfer window, they need to ensure they offload some of their current stars.

Spurs have invested heavily in backing manager Roberto De Zerbi, but this does mean that some players will have to depart, with Tottenham well-stacked in the middle of the park.

It certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see one or two midfielders leave due to the arrivals of Tonali and Fernandes.

Bergvall may be one who was sacrificed by the North London club, and they likely wouldn't even need to bring in a replacement.

Fabrizio Romano has given an update on Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero and whether the club could be prepared to sell him to rivals Arsenal.

Romero looks set to leave Spurs this summer following the arrivals of Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi. The Argentine defender has been linked with a departure since the transfer window opened, and a move abroad seemed the most likely outcome.

That was until shock claims were made that Arsenal could be entering the race for the 28-year-old. There have been suggestions that he is 'very open' to making a controversial move to the Emirates and crossing the North London divide, much like Sol Campbell back in 2001.

Romero has three years left on his contract with Spurs but seems destined to head for the exit door. The club's fanbase has shown a desire to see him depart due to on-and off-field issues last season.

Romano on Tottenham Selling Romero to Arsenal

Romero has yet to join up with his Tottenham teammates for pre-season as he's been given time off following the World Cup. While he has been linked with La Liga giants Atletico Madrid and Serie A club Inter Milan, talk of a potential move to Arsenal has only further damaged his relationship with Spurs fans.

The chances of the Argentine centre-back joining the Gunners appear to be slim though as Romano revealed that the Lilywhites' hierachy don't want to sell to their rivals. He said on his YouTube channel:

"My understanding is that Tottenham Hotspur (club, board, ownership) have clearly decided not to sell Cuti Romero to Arsenal. So, despite all the links, all the rumours, all the stories, my understanding is that Tottenham will not entertain talks with Arsenal for Romero. Tottenham don't want to let a player go to Arsenal because of the rivalry they have."

Romero has been with Spurs since the summer of 2022 when he arrived from Italian side Atalanta. He's since made over 150 appearances and was a member of the 2024-25 Europa League-winning team.

Arsenal have been exploring the market for a new centre-back following William Saliba's back injury at the World Cup. The Frenchman is set to be on the sidelines for an extended period, meaning he'll miss the start of the season.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Cristian Romero has picked up 36 yellow cards and four red cards in his Premier League career

Romero, whom Micky van de Ven dubbed "world-class", is a divisive player, but when he's at his best, he's regarded as one of the best defenders in the Premier League. His temperament is an issue, and many in the Gunners' fanbase are wary of adding this sort of character to Mikel Arteta's squad.

Tottenham Must Sell Romero Abroad

Tottenham clearly need to sell Romero, but not to Arsenal, who may have relished the chance to pull off another Campbell-like transfer just as much as adding the player's qualities to Arteta's squad. If reports are true, and he is prepared to join the Gunners, it's another indication that he doesn't belong at Spurs, let alone as captain.

A sale abroad is the solution, but as we enter the final weeks of the transfer window, the pressure grows on the club to offload him. He remains one of the Lilywhites' highest earners, purportedly earning £195,000 per week.

Tottenham transfer targets:

Cody Gakpo - Big proposal required for Liverpool attacker

Savinho - Growing confidence over signing Man City star

Junior Kroupi - Pursuit halted due to Bournemouth star's injury

Pedro Neto - Interested but viewed as Savinho alternative

Tottenham Hotspur have held conversations over a sensational move to sign Real Madrid striker Endrick this summer.

Spurs have had a busy summer transfer window so far, bringing in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali, and breaking their transfer record twice in the process.

But Roberto De Zerbi has stated that he feels business is only 60% done, with additions needed in the forward department. Man City and Brazil star Savinho has been made the top target for the winger position, while Liverpool star Cody Gakpo is also a target, and Pedro Neto is being considered as a back-up option. However, they have now been given the opportunity for another star to join their squad.

Tottenham Hold Endrick Talks

Endrick spent the second half of the 2025/26 season on loan in Ligue 1 with Lyon, where he scored eight goals and registered eight assists in 21 appearances across all competitions.

That form earned him a spot in the Brazil squad at the World Cup, and was also expected to earn him a place in Jose Mourinho's squad at Real Madrid for the new season. But the iconic manager, known for making ruthless decisions, has moved strongly in the market by bringing in striker Carlos Espi, winger Yan Diomande, and handing VInicius Jr a new contract.

Those decisions have left Endrick on the brink of the sidelines once again, and TEAMtalk report that his representatives have begun reaching out to clubs across Europe as he contemplates another Real Madrid exit.

The 20-year-old striker is understood to have a preference to move to the Premier League this time around, but Real Madrid are only willing to sanction another straight loan deal - similar to the one that Lyon had last season.

Tottenham are understood to be open to that deal structure, and would be willing to do a deal that does not include a buy-option, handing them an advantage in the race for his signature ahead of the likes of Manchester United.

Endrick is yet to make a final decision on his future, but his representatives are beginning to assess his options as we enter the final weeks of the window.

Endrick Ready to Explode

Endrick has been one of the brightest talents to come out of South America since Neymar, and that convinced Real Madrid to pay a stunning £61.7m to sign him as a 16-year-old.

Despite his relatively small stature, his attributes have regularly brought praise, and current national team boss and former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti admitted to being stunned by what he had seen during their time working together.

"He is spectacular," Ancelotti told a press conference.

"He has these amazing characteristics he has shown whenever he has a chance. His accuracy is off the charts, he's quick, and he still has a lot to improve with the ball.

"But, wow, his dribbling, his runs... the shot he has... he could even score a second goal easily with that great strike off the post... He is just spectacular. Very young, but a very fast learner."

Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero would be 'very open' to joining Arsenal this summer, according to one reliable insider.

Spurs have had a busy summer transfer window, including the arrivals of Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi in central defence, with the club and the Argentina international open to a move that would see the 28-year-old depart the club following four seasons in north London.

GIVEMESPORT sources understand that the player has already agreed personal terms with Atletico Madrid, with the Spanish club preparing to make an opening bid, with Spurs valuing him at around £35m. But Arsenal have also made contact over a shock move to keep him in north London, and the player's stance has now emerged too.

Romero 'Very Open' to Joining Arsenal

Romero, who has been hailed as 'world-class' by teammate Micky Van de Ven, missed the back end of last season due to a knee injury, but recovered in time for the World Cup as he helped Argentina reach a second consecutive final, before he limped off during the 1-0 extra-time defeat to Spain.

A move has been expected all summer, with Tottenham already bringing in his replacements during the window, but no deal has been agreed.

Arsenal are understood to be in the market to strengthen their defensive options, having lost star man William Saliba for an extended period due to a back injury, which was exacerbated during the World Cup. Aston Villa star Ezri Konsa has been heavily linked, but Romero is also understood to be someone they are looking at.

It was reported that the Gunners made enquiries about a deal for the defender, but Spurs immediately ruled out the possibility of selling their captain and star defender to their fierce rivals.

However, according to reliable insider Hand of Arsenal, Romero would be 'very open' to making the same switch that Sol Campbell famously made, regardless of whether the deal ever materialises or not.

Romero Would Join Short List

It doesn't look likely that a deal is on the cards, regardless of whether Romero would be open to it or not. However, should the deal somehow progress and the Argentine at the Emirates Stadium, he would be only the 16th player in history to play for both clubs, and just the fifth in the Premier League era.

Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Cody Gakpo is keen on a move to north London, and Liverpool are open to the idea of selling the Dutchman, according to a Spurs insider.

Gakpo endured a difficult 2025/26 season at Anfield, netting just nine goals and providing six assists across all competitions. This form has prompted the Merseysiders to consider the player's future, while Spurs have emerged as surprise potential suitors for the Netherlands international's signature.

The Lilywhites are eager to bolster their forward line before the window closes at the end of this month, after spending in excess of £230 million on their defence and midfield.

They're currently weighing up whether to pursue Gakpo or Manchester City's Savinho, although their decision could be made easier by now having the former's blessing regarding a prospective transfer.

Cody Gakpo Wants to Join Tottenham This Summer

Spurs have significantly strengthened the back end of their team this summer, adding Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali to their ranks.

They wrapped all of this business up early and have since been dwelling on several different forward targets. With just a few weeks left of the window now, the North Londoners will need to accelerate moves for attacking players in the coming days.

Gakpo has emerged as one of the primary targets, although there have been recurring question marks around the player's desire to swap Merseyside for N17 in the saga thus far.

However, a reputable Tottenham source on X has revealed that the 27-year-old doesn't intend to remain at Anfield and actively wants to join Spurs. The insider believes the fee is likely to be the main stumbling block.

Despite being light on forward options, Liverpool are willing to sanction Gakpo's departure. However, given the Reds are pursuing the astronomically expensive Bradley Barcola, they may hold out for a fortune for the former PSV Eindhoven man, meaning Tottenham might have to fork out a fee way over the odds to land the player.

Tottenham Should Sign Savinho Over Cody Gakpo

Spurs arguably need two wingers this summer, with both flanks looking seriously short on options heading into the new season.

However, it's not clear how much money is left in the coffers after spending such a considerable amount earlier in the window. It's likely they'll have to settle for one wide man, particularly if they're intent on also acquiring a striker.

Savinho remains on their radar, and if it's between the Brazilian and Gakpo, they should opt for the former.

While the data above depicts Gakpo as a marginally more productive player than his City counterpart, the 22-year-old is five years younger than the Liverpool man and is a more prolific dribbler - an attribute Spurs are crying out for.

Savinho may ultimately be cheaper, and his potential is significantly higher. It should be something of a no-brainer for the Tottenham hierarchy.

Tottenham Hotspur are yet to receive an offer for defender Cristian Romero, despite long-standing interest from Atletico Madrid, according to Sky Sports.

Romero endured a turbulent 2025/26 season, marred by red cards and inconsistent performances, as the Lilywhites were almost relegated from the Premier League. Despite this poor form, the Argentine has displayed his defensive acumen in the past and is subsequently still attracting interest from a number of clubs.

Arsenal emerged as shock suitors for Romero this week, although it's believed that Spurs wouldn't entertain offers from their rivals for their captain.

A move abroad is much more likely for the World Cup winner, with Atletico Madrid cited as the most likely destination for the wantaway star.

Tottenham Yet to Receive Cristian Romero Offer

Spurs have bolstered the centre of their defence this summer, adding Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton for £52 million and Marcos Senesi on a free transfer from Bournemouth.

These additions mean an existing defender in Roberto De Zerbi's squad must make way, and there has always been an acceptance that Romero is the most likely candidate. Spurs' skipper has consistently flirted with a departure, and given he's now in his late 20s, it makes sense for the Lilywhites to cash in on the player now.

Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge indicates that while Atletico are interested in the player, they're yet to table a proposal.

It's understood that Spurs would be willing to sanction Romero's exit for around £34 million - a fee that the Spanish giants will surely be capable of forking out.

Diego Simeone is looking to add an experienced central defender to his ranks to replace the ageing Jose Gimenez, who has been an ever-present figure in Atleti's team under the Argentine manager, but turns 32 in January.

Could Tottenham Be Better Off Without Cristian Romero?

Spurs have fixed their primary issue from last season via their centre-back signings. The North Londoners struggled to progress the ball from deep areas throughout the campaign, due to a lack of high-quality passers - an issue Van Hecke and Senesi fix immediately with their exceptional range of distribution.

While the pair of new additions may not be as aggressive defenders as Romero, as reflected in the data below, they do add far more value to Tottenham's team in possession.

Given De Zerbi wants his team to dominate the ball, draw the press in and then play around the opponent, the Italian's centre-back overhaul should work wonders in terms of striving towards this style of play.

Additionally, they'll no longer have Romero's ill discipline and recklessness in their fold, meaning they may get better without him in the aggregate.

Tottenham are now said to have identified a new forward target as they contemplate strengthening at the top end of the pitch. Spurs are now concentrating on attacking recruits after taking care of their defence and midfield with a club-record spending bill of £237million.

Roberto De Zerbi is backed like no other Spurs boss before him, with the club hoping to go from back-to-back bottom-half finishes to European qualification. Big squad changes are required, and the board is sticking to their word by splashing hundreds of millions in a bid to achieve their objective.

A winger looks to be next for Spurs, but a striker may also be signed, perhaps depending on whether Dominic Solanke or Richarlison leave.

Spurs now considering Mikautadze transfer

According to journalist Paul O'Keefe, Tottenham are considering a deal to sign Villarreal forward Georges Mikautadze. He posted on X: "Georges Mikautadze among the names attracting interest from Tottenham as they look to strengthen their attack."

Mikautadze cost Villarreal up to €36million (£30,8m) last summer, arriving from Olympique Lyon, and he scored 12 times in La Liga in his first season with the club. The forward is under a long-term deal and his release clause is unclear at this stage, but it's likely it is around €50million or more.

“We can't maintain this level of spending and effort every year. We have to balance the accounts for the 2026–27 season and, even while playing in the Champions League, we may have to make a sale.” - Fernando Roig, Villarreal owner

Villarreal owner Fernando Roig has said the club will likely sell one player this summer to keep their finances ticking over, even after securing back-to-back qualification for the Champions League for the first time in their history. But Mikautadze will not be under consideration to be sold, with the Yellow Submarine likely to allow Pape Gueye to move on amid Premier League interest.

Mikautadze was seen as a statement signing following Champions League qualification last summer, and as the club's main striker, a sale is unlikely.

Georges Mikautadze

What kind of player is Georges Mikautadze?

Mikautadze has an extraordinary technical ability. That's not to say he is one of the best players in the world, which would be too strong, but his technical ability is at an elite level. He is the sort of player who has that something special, and like any player of that mould, it doesn't always come off.

But Mikautadze is a confident finisher. He loves to chip the goalkeeper when it's on, and you'll often seen deft finishes from the Georgia international, rather than powerful strikes. He can play a fox in the box type of role, but he also likes to drift elsewhere to pick up the ball on the edge of the box and attempt curlers from a little further out.

What he is not is a dominant striker who is going to hold the ball up or win headers consistently. Mikautadze needs the ball at his feet to succeed. Like many of those sorts of players, he can go missing in a more direct game, but if he is given the ball to feet or in behind, he has rapid pace and can damage teams quickly with his technical ability. He has quick feet and trickery, and at 25 years of age, he is starting to really polish that, with his first LaLiga season seeing him become a little more disciplined with how he uses the ball.

Marcelino, who was in charge of Villarreal last season, said of the forward: “He’s a little anarchic, intuitive, intelligent, a great finisher with both feet."

He added in October of last year: “Georges is a player who is still adapting. He's showing his qualities. He has countless resources and can finish against top-class goalkeepers. He can give us an outstanding performance and help us achieve our objectives.”

Tottenham are said to have been offered Galatasaray superstar Victor Osimhen, but signing him would come at the cost of an existing player. It has been a busy summer for the North London club so far, with a club-record spend already achieved, and the spending is not done yet.

Roberto De Zerbi has been handed more than £235million to sign a host of players, with the defence and midfield addressed with the signings of Jan Paul van Hecke, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and others. But attention has now turned to the attack, and a winger signing is next. Manchester City's Savinho may be the priority, but when a winger is snapped up, it's not out of the question that a striker is also signed, providing there are exits.

Tottenham offered Victor Osimhen transfer

According to TeamTalk, Osimhen has been offered to Tottenham as the forward looks to land a move to the Premier League this summer. The forward has only been with Galatasaray for a year since his €75million move from Napoli, but he could already be on the move, with his representatives reportedly shopping around English clubs.

But Galatasaray will likely want to make all of their investment back and more, and there is also the question of Osimhen's wages, which are currently reported as being around £309,000 per week, which works out at £247,000-per-week after local tax.

“He’s fast, tall, a clinical finisher, and extremely effective in the air. He truly is a top-class player.” - Gary Lineker on Victor Osimhen

That wage will only be affordable for Tottenham if they sacrifice one of their existing strikers, meaning one of Richarlison or Dominic Solanke will have to leave the club. Neither are close to leaving at this stage, so the Osimhen deal is not one Tottenham will be rushing into. A winger transfer remains their priority at this stage, and if they can get a winger who can also play as a striker, they may not bother signing a striker at all.

How Osimhen's goal record compares to Tottenham strikers

Richarlison: 27 goals in 102 league games (Spurs)

Dominic Solanke: 12 goals in 42 league games (Spurs)

Victor Osimhen: 41 goals in 52 league games (Galatasaray)

Osimhen a 'truly top-class' player

Gary Lineker once apologised to Osimhen for underrating his abilities. “I want to apologize to Victor Osimhen," he said. "I used to say he sometimes got lost on the pitch, but things are totally different now. I shouldn’t have made those kinds of comments, that’s on me. “He’s fast, tall, a clinical finisher, and extremely effective in the air. He truly is a top-class player.”

Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand once said of Osimhen while telling Man Utd to sign him: “He’s never played in the Premier League, but I think he can score anywhere.”

Osimhen has 15 goals in 22 league games for Galatasaray since joining permanently, while he scored 65 in 108 league games for Napoli, and it is those sorts of returns that have helped him establish himself as one of the best goalscorers in the game.

Djed Spence's World Cup exploits seemingly haven't caused a U-turn and Tottenham Hotspur are still ready to sell the full-back.

That's according to Daily Mirror reporter Darren Lewis, who has suggested it would be a huge shock if he's still with the Lilywhites when the new season kicks off. His future has been the subject of speculation throughout the summer and his performances for England have put many clubs on alert.

Spence was a standout performer for the Three Lions, starring as the tournament progressed and winning over fans who questioned Thomas Tuchel's decision to call him up. He put a difficult past season at Spurs behind him with inspired displays, including in the 2-1 loss to Argentina in the semi-finals.

Tottenham transfer targets:

Cody Gakpo - Big proposal required for Liverpool attacker

Savinho - Growing confidence over signing Man City star

Junior Kroupi - Pursuit halted due to Bournemouth star's injury

Tottenham Still Expected To Sell Spence

Tottenham signed Andy Robertson as a free agent before the World Cup and this cast significant doubt over Spence's future. De Zerbi seems keen to have the veteran Liverpool star compete with Destiny Udogie for a starting berth at left-back.

Lewis gave his thoughts on Spence's situation and made clear he believes a departure is on the cards. He told Hotspur Lane:

"I will be STAGGERED if the window closes, and Spence is still a (Tottenham) player."

Spence has been at Spurs since July 2022 when he arrived from Middlesbrough in a deal worth up to around £20 million. He has struggled to earn a permanent place in the starting lineup but had shown glimpses of promise last season.

The 25-year-old proved his worth during the World Cup and The Athletic's Jay Harris was one of many to sing his praises: "Djed Spence has shown he was the perfect back-up full-back for the World Cup. Overlapping runs, versatility, tenacity in 1v1 duels and so much more. Spence’s journey over the last two years has been remarkable."

Likewise football.london's Alasdair Gold wrote:

"Sometimes World Cups define a player for good or bad. This summer has been Djed Spence's moment to ensure humble pie has been served up and eaten across the globe by many a pundit and fan."

Stats courtesy of SofaScore - correct as of 07/08/2026

With two years remaining on his contract, the North Londoners appear eager to cash in off the back of his World Cup campaign. He has many options, including staying in the Premier League or moving to Italy, with Inter Milan thought to have held talks.

Ranking 4 Premier League Clubs Who Should Sign Spence

While a move to Serie A could appeal, staying in the English top-flight feels the best solution for a player who will want to cement his place in the England team ahead of Euro 2028. There have been four Premier League clubs linked with the Spurs star and one of them feels the right move for the player and the club.

It's mayhem at St James' Park at the moment and new manager Matthias Jaissle could have a completely new-look team next season. Moving to Tyneside right now doesn't feel like the best idea given how much uncertainty there is with high-profile names constantly heading for the exit.

Newcastle have been tracking Spence though and he could be the versatile full-back to replace Kieran Trippier. A switch that comes with risk due to a transitional period.

David Moyes' Toffees have reportedly been showing interest in Spence since early July and he'd be an excellent addition to their squad. The Merseyside outfit are crying out for a new full-back and he'd likely be given a guaranteed starting role.

That said, Spence might be looking further up the table and dreaming of playing in Europe. If Moyes is unable to achieve this, it might not be too long until his name is back on the rumour mill and he's being talked up for another move.

The right-back position remains an issue for the Reds amid Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley's fitness struggles. If Spence were to join Andoni Iraola's side he'd also offer competition to Milos Kerkez at left-back.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool aren't currently focusing on a deal for the Spurs defender. So with their attention clearly elsewhere, a move to Anfield seems unlikely but does make sense for Iraola and the player.

INEOS need to immediately pivot to Spence after being told Newcastle are not prepared to sell Lewis Hall. Michael Carrick needs more options at full-back with a lack of options to rotate with Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw heading into a return to the Champions League.

Tottenham Hotspur star Djed Spence wants to join Liverpool this summer as Andoni Iraola considers a move for the right-back.

Spurs have had a busy summer transfer window so far with six new arrivals, including defenders Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Jan Paul van Hecke, while Pedro Porro has also signed a new long-term contract with the north London side.

That has seen Spence's future called into question, and Liverpool are understood to be exploring additions to their defence for their new manager, having lost Robertson and Ibrahima Konate on free transfers, and with Jeremy Jacquet, Giovanni Leoni, Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley all dealing with injury issues.

Spence Wants Anfield Move

According to a report by Anfield Sector, Liverpool have an interest in the England international as Iraola has defensive concerns around his current right-back options.

Spence is believed to be extremely receptive to the idea of a move to Liverpool, but the Reds are also considering a host of other names for their defence, as they look to add to their squad in the final weeks of the window.

The 25-year-old enjoyed a fine individual season in 2025/26 for Tottenham as he helped them to avoid relegation, before shining at the World Cup for England as the Three Lions finished third, with Spence one of the standout performers.

Liverpool are currently prioritising strengthening their attack, with PSG star Bradley Barcola understood to be the top target. GIVEMESPORT sources understand that initial talks have been held over a deal, and the winger has already given his green light to a switch to Anfield, although no deal has been agreed at this stage.

The Reds are also eyeing a move for Ibrahim Mbaye, Barcola's PSG teammate, and have moved ahead of Bayer Leverkusen in the race for his signature. Victor Munoz has already joined from Osasuna, but is the only first-team signing of this window, not including Jeremy Jacquet, who agreed his move in January.

'Frightening' Spence Perfect for Liverpool

With Liverpool have some issues at full-back, Spence's ability to play on both sides at a high level would be a huge boost for the club. Spurs are understood to be open to letting him leave for around £35m, which makes a deal relatively easy to do.

Spence's rise to prominence has been very impressive, and even saw him earn praise from England legend David Seaman.

“He’s got better and better,” said Seaman on his YouTube podcast.

“When I first saw him, when he first came in… he was a bit like when Kolo Toure came to Arsenal. He was like the schoolboy in the playground, just followed the ball everywhere, and Djed was getting like caught out of position quite a bit, but now he’s like (much better).

“The more he’s playing in that position (left-back) he’s getting used to it, and his pace is frightening – he had a one-v-one with somebody and like totally outpaced them, easy.”

While Liverpool's interest is well reported, Fabrizio Romano has told GIVEMESPORT's Market Madness podcast that he hasn't heard of anything between the two parties at this stage.
