Today’s round-up includes links to £60 million Fulham midfielder, Jamie Webster’s first Anfield performance and a new ‘poison green’ goalkeeper kit.
Liverpool said to have “serious interest” in Palhinha
Liverpool have been linked with a move for £60 million-rated Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha.
Both Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho have made the move from Craven Cottage in recent years, and the Reds are said to have their sights set on yet another Fulham player.
Sami Mokbel of the Mail believes Liverpool are “understood to be the most serious suitor but there are others.”
At 27, though, his age is at odds with the direction Liverpool look to be heading in and a £60 million price tag will not be as inviting as it sounds.
