Liverpool assistant coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst is under consideration for the Indonesia manager vacancy, sources have told Football Insider.

The Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) are in the process of finding a new head coach following the dismissal of Patrick Kluivert last month in the wake of the country’s failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Indonesia have close ties with the Dutch with an ever-growing pool of naturalised heritage players in the Indonesia camp being Dutch-born.

Former Rangers and Besiktas boss Van Bronckhorst joined Liverpool in the summer to work in Arne Slot‘s coaching staff.

He joined as a replacement for John Heitinga following his departure to Ajax. However, Heitinga has recently been sacked by Ajax following their poor start to the season.

Liverpool exit edging closer after contact made

Despite making it to round four of the AFC group stage qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, Indonesia suffered two gut-wrenching defeats to Saudi Arabia and Iraq which ruined their hopes.

Now, the Football Association is turning its attention to the next international tournament with the 2027 Asian Cup offering an opportunity of redemption.

Liverpool facing up to tricky second season under Arne Slot as questions starting to be asked

The Reds’ shock 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest has cast further doubt over Slot amid an unsettled coaching team.

Liverpool have now lost six matches in the Premier League this season, already more than their title-winning four defeats in 2024-25.

Former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown exclusively told Football Insider that Slot must turn around Liverpool’s poor form.

Whilst whispers of a possible sacking are not out of the question, the Dutchman will certainly be given more time, especially with the influx of so many new faces at Anfield from last summer.

Chemistry is clearly lacking for the Reds as they aim to resurrect their inconsistent start to their title defence.

Arsenal NewsMikel Arteta insists Leandro Trossard was never for sale

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that he had no intention of selling Leandro Trossard during last summer’s transfer window.

The Gunners produced a commanding display against their north London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, winning 4-1. Trossard opened the scoring for the Gunners, setting the tone for the victory.

During the summer, several reports linked Trossard to a possible exit from the club. Arteta has now revealed that he did not consider letting the Belgian leave.

Arteta commends Trossard’s performance

Speaking after the win, Arteta said: “Yeah, for me, no, because for me it was forbidden for him to leave. No chance. I know the player that he is, and surrounded with the players that we have, he is a player that is going to make a difference for us.”

The manager praised Trossard’s performance against Spurs, calling it one of the player’s finest displays. He highlighted Trossard’s aggression and effectiveness both with and without the ball.

Arteta added: “I fully agree, it was one of the best games, so aggressive with and without the ball, so effective, he could have scored another one or two goals, and he was involved in so many positive actions. So that is what we need. As I said, I think individually, the players were excellent today.”

Trossard’s form continues to impress

The £19 million-rated star has been in strong form for Arsenal this season, contributing five goals and five assists in 15 appearances across all competitions.

His ability to create chances and finish them has become a key asset for Arteta’s side. His influence has been evident in the Gunners’ impressive start to the season.

The victory over Spurs strengthens Arsenal’s position in the Premier League, showing the team is capable of dominating high-profile matches.

Following this north London derby success, Arsenal will now turn their focus to European action.

They will welcome Bayern Munich to the Emirates Stadium in the Champions League, aiming to continue their strong form.

Arteta’s confidence in Trossard and the Belgian’s current performance underline the importance of keeping key players. His presence has proven decisive in Arsenal’s ongoing campaign.

Arsenal fans will hope that Trossard can maintain his form and help the team in both domestic and European competitions.

Liverpool has been tipped to make an $85M transfer move for Antoine Semenyo, who has been in good form at the start of the new season for Bournemouth under Andoni Iraola

Amid transfer links with Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, Liverpool has been told that the 25-year-old would be a perfect signing in 2026.

Mohamed Salah has been struggling for form in the opening weeks of the new season — though he only has one fewer goal and the same number of assists in all competitions as Semenyo — and Liverpool will, at some point, reluctantly face up to the need to replace the Egyptian.

“I don’t think there is anyone in the football world who doesn’t want this guy,” former Liverpool star Steve Nicol said on ESPN. “I’ll have him today and twice on Sunday.

“They need somebody. If it’s Semenyo, then fantastic because the guy is absolutely dynamite.

“If it’s not him, then, for Liverpool, it’s going to have to be somebody else. If Liverpool want to win the title, then in the January window, they are going to have to make a move.”

“I would be so delighted,” ex-Chelsea center-back Frank Leboeuf added. “Every game I saw him playing, he has been absolutely tremendous and has had a great impact.

“The power he is showing and the finesse is amazing. His involvement to the team is huge.

“We have seen that at Bournemouth, and I’m sure we will see that at any club he’s going to sign. He is strong, powerful, quick and technical. That would be a huge signing.”
