Liverpool should be cautious about the potential risks of signing Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in the January window, Reds transfer expert David Lynch has warned.

 

Though the club added the likes of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz in the summer, the team have struggled to consistently produce in the final third, with their tally of 18 goals one fewer than Manchester United.

 

Bringing in Semenyo would be a boost to the squad given he has enjoyed a strong campaign so far, scoring six goals and providing three assists in 11 Premier League games.

 

While Lynch acknowledged the 25-year-old’s talent, he was keen to highlight some concerns about the winger’s underlying metrics, telling Sports Mole: “He took more shots than Mo Salah last season, and he scored 18 fewer Premier League goals – he actually over-performed his expected goals, which means he’s taking a lot of bad shots.

 

“If Liverpool were to sign him, maybe they think they can fix that. Maybe they think they don’t need him to be the goalscorer, but want him to carry the ball. His defensive work is absolutely fantastic, and you can hit him with long diagonals to help your progression out as well. He’s so good at that.

 

“Perhaps that’s how Liverpool see him and I’m sure they would have a plan, but there are small red flags there if you come with an expectation that he’s going to score 20 league goals. I’m not sure he’s going to be that player. If Liverpool do it, it’s because they think that they can fix some of the small issues with him.”

 

Semenyo’s six Premier League goals have been scored from 4.3 xG this season, and he has not netted in his last four games for Bournemouth, with three of his goals coming during fast breaks.

How likely are Liverpool to make January transfer window move for Antoine Semenyo?

 

Given that Liverpool have already conceded 17 goals in 11 Premier League games, the recent links to Semenyo have concerned supporters, who feel that the club may be ignoring the need for defensive reinforcements.

 

There is an argument that waiting until the summer window could allow other teams to get ahead in the race to bring in the Ghanaian, so perhaps activating his release clause would be sensible.

 

Lynch insisted that Liverpool will act in January regardless of their priorities if they sense there is an opportunity, when he told Sports Mole: “He’s in that age bracket that they absolutely love. He’s two footed, brilliant physically, he’s got experience in the Premier League, he scores goals, and he can play off either side.

 

“You might look at the squad and think a forward is the last thing that Liverpool need – they obviously need changes in midfield at some point and centre-half is obviously a massive need. Progression in the back line feels like a bigger priority for Liverpool, but I always look back to the the Gakpo signing, and I see similarities.

 

“Gakpo wasn’t what Liverpool needed at that time as they needed to do something to sort the midfield out, but it was the deal that they ended up doing because he was available for a cut-price. Liverpool knew there was competition for him, and they didn’t want to wait till the summer when other clubs could pitch to him.”

 

Manchester United were strongly linked to the signature of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven, but Liverpool opted to sign him in January 2023, preventing the Red Devils from making a move in the summer.

Antoine Semenyo: How will Arne Slot fit him into the Liverpool XI?

 

If Liverpool did sign Semenyo, there would be question marks about how he would fit into the starting XI, especially as Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak are likely to be starters considering their status and price.

 

The Bournemouth man would be able to play from the left, but doing so would push Wirtz into Dominik Szoboszlai’s number 10 role, and that could cause further issues in the Merseysiders’ pressing structure.

 

Speaking to Sports Mole, Lynch struggled to see how Arne Slot would find ways of fitting Semenyo into the team, saying: “Where does he fit in? In the short term, the only sensible place to put Florian Wirtz is on the left side, so that benches Gakpo immediately, and you’re adding another guy who’s primary position is on the left.

 

“Liverpool might look at it from the perspective that Chiesa’s probably going to leave at the end of this season, Mo Salah is a year closer to the end of his contract – I can’t see him getting another – and Semenyo is capable of playing on the right.

 

“I would like to see Liverpool shift in the coming windows to add the final pieces that will actually enhance the team rather than how they did the last window. They added good players that we know have got quality, but they hoped it would work itself out. The first great team under Jurgen Klopp, everyone who was coming in had a nailed on position.”

 

If Liverpool intended to sell Salah in the coming summer window, perhaps the reported plans to bring in Semenyo would make more sense, though the winger is at his best on the left.

Exclusive: Liverpool coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst is contender for available manager’s job

Published

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.

 

 

 

Eberechi Eze goal…

 

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.

Oliver Glasner to turn tide at Liverpool as dramatic Arne Slot sack development emerges

 

Oliver Glasner could be about to turn the tide at Liverpool with Arne Slot’s situation growing graver by the day.

 

The Reds’ recent struggles in the Premier League continued on Saturday, as they were beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest in a heavy defeat on home turf.

 

 

 

Eberechi Eze goal…

 

Matt Le Tissier exclusively told Football Insider that he questioned the resolve of the Liverpool players during their recent defeat to Manchester City, and things didn’t get any better for them this weekend.

 

The walls are rapidly closing in on Slot despite the Merseysiders’ superb title-winning campaign last time out, and he now finds himself firmly walking the tightrope.

Arne Slot in line to be next Premier League sacking

 

Slot’s position at Liverpool felt unquestionable a mere matter of months ago, but now there is a serious possibility that he could potentially be entering his final days in charge at Anfield.

 

There is simply no sign of the Dutchman being able to drag his team out of their recent slump, that has seen them fall into the bottom half of the Premier League table.

 

TeamGamesPoints16Newcastle United5617Bournemouth5518Liverpool5319Leeds United5320Wolves50The bottom of the Premier League form table across the last five games.

 

The form table makes for grim reading for Liverpool, as only Leeds United and Wolves sit below them over the last five league games.

Discussions surrounding a potential exit for Slot are spreading wider with every passing game, and he is now the second-favourite to become the next top-flight boss to lose his job, after Daniel Farke.

 

The situation facing the ex-Feyenoord chief has become so grave that a clear favourite has emerged to take over from him in the dugout, and that is Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner.

 

The Austrian feels destined for a big job in the coming months after he led Palace to their first ever piece of major silverware last term, and he will undoubtedly be on the radar of some of the world’s biggest clubs.

 

Liverpool need to make contract with Oliver Glasner before taking Slot decision

 

Glasner is currently leading Crystal Palace in their first European campaign in 27 years, and with that in mind, Liverpool should be trying to seek assurances regarding his future before they make a snap decision on Slot.

 

The 47-year-old achieved great things during his first campaign in charge, but if the Reds make contact with Glasner’s camp and the indication is that he would be prepared to jump ship mid-season, then it could potentially be the final nail in the coffin for him.

 

However, if Glasner suggests that he would prefer to see out the remainder of the project that he has begun in South London, then it may sway FSG and the Liverpool hierarchy to remain patient with their current chief.

 

Glasner has already taken Palace to remarkable new levels, as well as outperforming Liverpool so far this season, and he would undoubtedly help the Anfield outfit back to the top end of the table if he did take over

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 ÂŁ19 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.

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.
