Edwards sends Liverpool officials to join race for “fantastic” starlet this week
Michael Edwards has now sent Liverpool officials to join the race to sign a Championship starlet ahead of interest from a number of Premier League sides.
Slot admits Liverpool should "not look" at Man City, Arsenal
Liverpool may be on a seven-game unbeaten run, but last night’s 0-0 draw at Anfield against Leeds United exposed just how fragile that run truly is. The Reds have gone from drawing in dramatic fashion against Daniel Farke’s side earlier in the campaign to an uncharacteristic bore-draw.
The Premier League champions have gone from heavy-metal to a disorganised, out-of-tune choir growing more desperate to hit all the right notes every week. Arne Slot has rediscovered Liverpool’s defensive resolve, that much is true, but even he is well aware that it has come at a cost going the other way. Still, the Dutchman, is failing to find the right balance.
The Liverpool boss admitted after dropping points against Leeds that his side should “not look” at Arsenal or Manchester City as title rivals, all but conceding the Premier League title.
Those at Anfield are unlikely to panic-buy this month, either. Edwards and Richard Hughes are likely to remain composed and could look towards the future instead of quick solutions for Slot.

His performances have welcomed deserved praise from the likes of Jacek Kulig, who described Maamma’s performace at the U20 World Cup last year as “fantastic”.
All signs are pointing to a player destined to make his mark at a higher level. The big question that remains is just where he’ll be playing his football in the near future.
