Klopp hopes to give Liverpool season ‘a little push’ against Wolves

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reacts after the matchReuters Liverpool will play Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fourth time in 11 games and manager Jurgen Klopp (55) said they will look to get their Premier League season back on track as they chase a top four spot in a "super important week". Liverpool are seventh in the standings, nine points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place, but Klopp's side have two games in hand, with arch rivals Manchester United visiting Anfield on Sunday. Liverpool played Wolves twice in the FA Cup, winning the replay 1-0 before losing 3-0 in the reverse league fixture earlier this month and Klopp said he hoped to learn from their mistakes in that defeat. "Nothing I saw in training suggests we don't have a chance. We know a lot about...

Liverpool sign Diogo Jota for £45m from Wolves

Liverpool have completed a £45 million deal for forward Diogo Jota from Wolverhampton Wanderers, reports James Pearce. The 23-year-old Portugal international has signed a five-year contract. An initial fee of £41 million will rise to £45 million depending on appearances and team success in the Premier League and Champions League. Dutch teenager Ki-Jana Hoever is going in the opposite direction in a £13.5 million deal — £9 million guaranteed and £4.5 million in add-ons. The Premier league winners have also negotiated a 15 per cent sell-on clause. Diogo Jota's signing completes a remarkable week for the club following the unveiling of £27 million signing Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich.

Diogo Jota: Liverpool set to sign Wolves forward in £35m deal

Liverpool are closing in on a £35m deal for Wolves forward Diogo Jota that could be completed as early as Saturday. The move comes just hours after the Premier League champions secured the signing of Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich in a deal that could be worth up to £25m. Jota's arrival at Anfield could be made easier by Liverpool defender Ki-Jana Hoever moving to Wolves in a deal worth £10m, plus add-ons. Diogo Jota left Molineux before kick-off against Stoke in the Carabao Cup on Thursday and was an unused substitute at the weekend in the 2-0 win at Sheffield United. Liverpool teenager Hoever, who has appeared four times for Jurgen Klopp's side, can play right wing-back, right-back and centre-back - all positions which Wolves are looking to strengthen during this tr...

Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Wolves and Newcastle target Arsenal defender

Wolves and Newcastle are both keen on Arsenal defender Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who is set to leave the Gunners. The 22-year-old made 32 appearances for Arsenal last season and started the FA Cup final victory over Chelsea. However, the Gunners are committed to rebuilding under manager Mikel Arteta and have told Maitland-Niles they are willing to listen to offers for him. No bids have been made yet but it is understood a deal could be put together for an offer in the region of £20m. Wolves and Newcastle are both understood to be interested in the England Under-21 international, while Everton are also thought to be considering whether to make a move.

Man Utd tipped to seal Raul Jimenez transfer from Wolves

Manchester United have been linked with a move for Wolves striker Raul Jimenez in the summer transfer window and now Mexico boss Gerard "Tata" Martino has backed the striker to make the switch to Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could look to improve his frontline even further. That's despite Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood all impressing since the Premier League restart. But Mexico boss Martino thinks Jimenez would be a good addition at United as they have not properly replaced Romelu Lukaku. He also feels United would be a better choice than Juventus because he will not start enough ahead of the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. "Looking at it from the outside today I cannot see a specialist No. 9 like Raul at United," Martino said on ESPN show Futbol P...
