Dominik Szoboszlai sends ‘champions’ message to Arsenal ahead of Liverpool clash – ‘They know’

Published

Dominik Szoboszlai has addressed Liverpool’s failed Premier League title defence and what must happen next for Arne Slot’s side

 

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai

Dominik Szoboszlai has warned Arsenal the Premier League hasn’t been won yet but admits it would be “crazy” to think Liverpool can still defend their title. And the midfielder is convinced Arne Slot and his coaching staff can find the solution to helping the champions rediscover their swagger of last season.

 

 

 

LiverpoolĀ travel to runaway leaders Arsenal on Thursday evening aiming to put a dent in the Gunners’ title charge and extend their own nine-game unbeaten run that has seen them return to theĀ Champions LeagueĀ qualification places having previously lost six of seven league games.

 

Arsenal are six points clear of nearest challengers Manchester City and Aston Villa, and are odds-on to win the title for the first time in 22 years.

ButĀ SzoboszlaiĀ said: “It’s a long way (to go). TheĀ Premier LeagueĀ is not easy. You don’t win it by January.

 

“So I don’t think we are playing against the champions. They’re playing against the champions. And that’s probably (something) they know as well, we know as well.

 

“Of course they are one of the favourites for this year – unbelievable team, really good players. But we shouldn’t also forget about Man City, about Villa, who are doing very good.

“No, we don’t play against the champions. They play against the champions.”

 

While having not lost in six weeks, Liverpool have attracted criticism for their style of play during that period in which the need to become more difficult to beat has come at the expense of attacking flair, which has contributed to damaging draws against Sunderland, Leeds United and Fulham.

 

“We have so many people in the club to find solutions and I’m pretty sure they will,” said Szoboszlai. “Every player has a couple of things they are thinking that everyone has to keep to themselves, then in the end we will speak to each other as a group and grow as a group. We are Liverpool and right now are champions of England.

Liverpool deal ‘agreed’ as Marc Guehi update drops after Arsenal play their hand

Published

on

As of today there is no confirmed transfer that Liverpool have signed Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.

 

 

 

 

There are only ongoing transfer rumours and interest reports — but no official confirmation that the move has happened. ļæ½

Sky Sports +1

šŸ“Œ Current Situation

Marc Guehi is still a Crystal Palace player and is expected to continue there this season — Palace boss Oliver Glasner has said he believes Guehi will remain at Selhurst Park this January. ļæ½

Sky Sports

His contract expires at the end of the season and he refused a new deal, so he’s likely to leave when that contract ends. ļæ½

Sky Sports

Liverpool remain interested, but according to reliable sources they are not planning to complete the transfer now; they may wait for Guehi to move as a free agent in summer 2026. ļæ½

Goal

🚨 Rumours (but not confirmed)

Liverpool had a bid in the past, and discussions have taken place, but Crystal Palace blocked the deal previously because they couldn’t secure a replacement. ļæ½

Goal

Other clubs (e.g., Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid) have also shown interest. ļæ½

āœ… Official stance: No, Liverpool have not confirmed the signing of Marc Guehi.

Arsenal transfer news: Ethan Nwaneri reaches exit decision as £80m agreement eyed

 

Mirror Football brings you a round-up of the latest transfer news surrounding Arsenal

 

Mikel Arteta is hoping his Arsenal team can go all the way this season

 

Arsenal may be in the midst of a title race but they are still working quietly behind the scenes on transfers.Ā Mikel ArtetaĀ has already admitted the club is willing to spend in January should the opportunity arise.

 

Heading into theĀ Premier LeagueĀ clash withĀ LiverpoolĀ on Thursday night, the Gunners hold a five-point advantage over rivalsĀ Manchester City, with an opportunity to stretch that to eight points after 21 games with a win over the title holders.

Arteta’s stacked squad, thanks toĀ a summer of heavy expenditureĀ on quality players, ensured they came out of anĀ injury-riddled past four monthsĀ unscathed, as some key players recently made their return to fitness.

 

Yet, in a division as tough as this and with four trophies to fight for, there is always room for squad improvement. Here,Ā Mirror FootballĀ brings you two of the latest transfer developments involving the north London club.

Ethan Nwaneri makes exit decision

 

Ethan Nwaneri reportedly wants to stay and fight for his place in theĀ ArsenalĀ team for the remainder of the season. The 18-year-oldĀ has attracted attentionĀ fromĀ BournemouthĀ this month, with the Premier League side eager to sign him on loan until the end of this campaign following the sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City.

 

There is a sense that a temporary move would benefit Nwaneri given his lack of playing time this season. The Hale End academy product has been left out of the last few matchday squads after seeing his playing time decrease drastically compared to last season. He has made only six Premier League appearances since scoring four league goals in 26 matches last term.

With the likes of Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and now injury returnee Kai Havertz ahead of the youngster in the pecking order, some believe Nwaneri needs a move to continue his progression. However, Arsenal do not want to sell the player due to his obvious talent.

 

The Independent reports Nwaneri feels he can learn more by being part of a serious title challenge, meaning he is happy to remain patient and assess his situation at the end of the season, when he may well have a league trophy to his name.
