Liverpool still have a way to go before the start of the 2026/27 Premier League season, but the pieces are starting to click into place. Efforts are ongoing to sign Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain, two separate deals, and success on that front would see Andoni Iraola’s frontline replenished after last season’s aggressive decline. Forwards, forwards, forwards. They steal headlines on the field and dominate discourse throughout the off-season. But maybe Liverpool have other areas in need of surgery too. With Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister both unbuckled in their Liverpool seats, fans are itching to…

Palhinha has struggled to nail down a place at Bayern since joining in July 2024, making just 25 appearances in all competitions in his first season. He then spent last season on loan in the Premier League with Tottenham, with his goal ensuring the club stayed in the top-flight on the final day. Palhinha won his team five points via goals scored in the Premier League in 2025-26; it was the joint-most by any player for Spurs (also…

He began finding success when he drove Simpson backward, and the fight developed into the type of grueling exchange that kept the Leeds crowd roaring. Neither man showed much interest in giving ground for long. That was…

The judges scored the 12-round fight 116-112, 117-112 and 115-113 for Simpson, who gained revenge for the only defeat of his professional career.
