Liverpool announce £60M deal – Slot free to sign impressive striker – Defender happy after signing with Reds
Here is a roundup of the top Liverpool news and gossip from icfootballnews that we think you guys could have missed…
Eintracht Frankfurt director of football Markus Krosche has opened the door to the potential sale of Omar Marmoush in the January transfer window, which will alert the likes of LIVERPOOL to a possible deal.
Marmoush has six goals and three assists in just five Bundesliga games so far this term and is drawing all sorts of attention from some of the biggest teams in the Premier League, including the likes of LIVERPOOL – who are always looking to add to their squad.
The Reds have one of the biggest squads in Europe – but with a number of players expected to leave in the coming windows – there will be some space for the likes of Marmoosh to come in and try to make an impact in that Arne Slots side.
Now it seems that they may be able to get a deal done in the January window after Director of football Krosche admitted that the striker has a big commitment to the Bundesliga club, but also acknowledged that no player at the club is unsellable amid rumours that Marmoush is dreaming of a move to England.
Speaking to German media, Krosche said: “It is true that Omar made a very clear commitment to us in the summer. He has developed well and still has a lot of potential to develop further.
“For us, we don’t want to lose so many key players. I have to honestly say that no Eintracht player is unsellable but we want to keep the team together. I talk about Marmoush after every game. But that’s a good thing. Omar gives our game an incredible amount.”
QUANSAH ON LIVERPOOL DEAL –
Jarell Quansah has opened up and revealed just why he believes that LIVERPOOL is the right club for him after officially a new contract to stay at Anfield.
Liverpool were willing to sign £75m-rated Anthony Gordon and Newcastle United asked for £60m-rated Quansah in a part-exchange deal to let their star man leave (The Athletic). In response, Arne Slot’s side made it clear that the young defender was ‘simply not for sale’.
And now the young man has agreed a new long-term contract with the club and revealed just why he wanted to stay – he told the club website:
‘Like I say, I think the intent from the coaches and for them to show how much they want to work for us all to become better players, but they definitely have a lot of insight and a lot of detail that they want to get across to you, and they do all sorts to try to get that across: like video meetings – you’re always watching the games back – they’re pulling you in always for one-on-one chats to see how you are.
‘I think that alone, for me as a player, [is] to try to get better and better as a player because that is what I am in at the minute – I’m probably in a development phase of my career and yeah, I just want to get as much knowledge as I can and I feel like this is the best place for that.
‘I just want to take each step as it comes, every training session as it comes. I just want to keep trying to get better on the training pitch really and as long as I stay tunnel vision to that… I just want to keep progressing, keep trying to learn, and keep trying to get better and better [by] trying to learn off all the senior players, and I’ve got a lot in my position so anything I can take from them I am trying to do day by day.
‘I am hoping to obviously push as well, hopefully we’re breeding quite a good environment that we’re all challenging for places and as long as we’re doing that I think we’ll all become better players and ultimately become a better team.
‘I think I’m only young so there is a lot of work to do with being strong and being good in the air, because I feel like I am quite athletic and I feel like I can really dominate in the air. It’s just about showing that on a regular basis, really, and getting into good habits and being really consistent.
‘I think sometimes it’s easy to go up and down and show good performances, but as a centre-back I think you need to be consistent. If I look at Virgil [van Dijk] and the best centre-backs in the world, they’re seven or eight out of 10 every game, minimum, and for me to get to that level, that’s all I’m trying to do – to get steady games under my belt and then we can progress from there.’
QUANSAH HAPPY WITH RED DEAL –
Defender Jarell Quansah has opened up and revealed just how happy he is that he has managed to agree a new long-term deal to stay at LIVERPOOL this season.
Quansah has become an established member of the Liverpool first-team squad, starting the opening day win over Ipswich and the EFL Cup win over West Ham.
He has been on the bench for the last six Premier League games and the two Champions League clashes, but that ha snot stopped him from agreeing a new long-term deal with Liverpool.
And after seeing the announcement get made – Quansah opened up on the deal – he told the club website: ‘I couldn’t be happier at this minute.
‘I think the way the new manager has come in, his coaching style has definitely been a massive part of that and I think it is the best club in the world for me to develop at and become a better player. ‘
‘I think the players around me, who I’m looking to work hard off and listen to, I think they’re the best in the position at the minute. So, like I said, there is probably no better place I could be.
‘it was quite a quick decision, to be honest. There was never any thought of any other club, just because of the environment we have at the minute as well. I think we’re building, definitely, a winning environment, like we saw last year when we were able to lift a trophy, and I think there are a lot of players here who have still got a bit of unfinished business left, who definitely want to win titles – and that’s ultimately what I want to do as well.
‘I want to be known as a champion, I want to be a winner, and I think LIVERPOOL is the best place for me at this moment.
