Champions League club now want to sign a SECOND Liverpool star
Liverpool have conducted a landmark summer of spending - with Richard Hughes overseeing £260m-worth of new signings. And there promises to be more in store. The Reds could add Alexander Isak as a new option up top - which would require a British record fee of around £135m. And there is also a shortage of centre-backs - meaning the Anfield club could move for the likes of Marc Guehi or Ronald Araujo. 🔴 Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today!

Chances are going to be at a premium for certain squad members - especially in attack. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range One player set to suffer is Federico Chiesa. The Italian only managed six appearances in the Premier League last season and appears surplus to requirements given the quality now at Arne Slot's disposal. Celtic interested in Chiesa Mo Salah and Jeremie Frimpong are set to reign on the right wing - meaning Chiesa will be permitted to leave. Atalanta and Napoli are among the Serie A sides linked with the 27-year-old - who joined from Juventus for a fee that could reach £12.5m. But now interest has emerged from inside the Premier League - in the form of Fulham - as well as Champions League club Celtic. Coached by former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, the Scottish champions are ready to sign Chiesa on loan. That's according to a new report in Sports Boom, which also claims the Cottagers retain an interest.

Cherries aiming at positive end to pre-season in US against West Ham
THE Cherries will be hoping for a more encouraging performance as their pre-season Premier League Summer Series campaign comes to an end against West Ham. AFC Bournemouth were comfortably beaten by Manchester United in what was a poor performance on the whole by Andoni Iraola's men. Both teams arrive at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta with one win from their two games – and it was an impressive one at that from the Cherries. The 3-0 victory over Everton in the opening game was in stark contrast to the performance on Wednesday night in Chicago, with Iraola even saying after the United game that they are not as good as the performance against the Toffees, nor are they as bad as the one against the Red Devils. Bournemouth offered very little going forward and were poor defensively against United, but scored a consolation goal after good work from David Brooks saw the Welshman cross for Matthijs De Ligt to turn the ball into his own net. (Image: Richard Crease) Both games have served their purpose, though, in giving plenty of good minutes to the Cherries squad. There were nine total substitutes from Iraola on Wednesday, while the entire XI were replaced against Everton. In terms of team news, Eli Junior Kroupi and Justin Kluivert have an outside chance to return to the Cherries side, with the former seen pictured in training this week. Ryan Christie and Luis Sinisterra continue their recovery from injuries and will not be available. Tyler Adams made his first return to the Bournemouth squad against the Manchester club, coming off the bench for the final 15 minutes, so he'll likely get more minutes in Atlanta. (Image: Richard Crease) The game against the Hammers will present the penultimate opportunity for the Cherries to get minutes in the legs before their season opener against Liverpool in just under two weeks' time. Their final friendly sees them take on Real Sociedad back at home in front of the Cherries faithful at the Vitality Stadium, next Saturday, August 9, kicking off at 5.15pm. West Ham, meanwhile, were beaten 2-1 by United in their opening game of the pre-season tournament in the States, but they beat Everton by the same scoreline in Chicago. Jarrod Bowen scored their second-half consolation goal in the first game, and it was Lucas Paqueta and Niclas Fullkrug who did the damage either side of halftime for the Hammers. Those goals came after the Toffees had opened the scoring through Idrissa Gueye after 17 minutes. AFC Bournemouth meet West Ham at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday, August 3, kicking off at 7pm, UK time. The two sides meet for the first time in the league this season on November 22 at Dean Court.
