EXCLUSIVE: "Perfect mix" former Liverpool star raves about Reds' latest transfer
Whether he wants to do that remains to be seen. It's possible Robertson could still leave the club. However, in an exclusive interview with Anfield Watch on our YouTube channel, former Liverpool player Adam Bogdan told us, he believes Robertson and Kerkez fighting for their place would be the perfect mix.

Bogdan who played alongside Robertson at Liverpool said the following:
"Listen, I think that's a perfect mix there in my opinion because Andy Robertson I know there's a lot of suggestions that he's maybe over his feet, but I know him and he is a fighter, you know, and he played so many games this season and yes there was a couple of mistakes, but who doesn't make mistakes?
"So he has been great and I'm sure that he will not give up his position just like this, but there are so many games and that position on the wingback position, it requires so much stamina and strength to go on. And the fact that you can change the players, I think that could be a position that can be very dynamic on the right Frimpong and Bradley and on the left, layers to swap.

"So there is a chance to get substituted in the 60th or 70th minute to get fresh energy.
"So I think the fact that you have an unbelievably good left back with wealth of experience, winning titles who may be turning into the last period of his career, I've said very carefully because he's only 31, but then you have a 21-year-old with two years of experience in the Premier League who has the energy to go on for a hundred or 90 minutes if he wants, but you still have to learn this sort of top club, the pressure that comes with it, that you have to win every game. You have to win every game, and you have to compete in every competition.
"I think that's a perfect mix. If I was a sporting director, if I was somebody who made that decision as a club, I would see it as a perfect setup."

Saliba admits new Arsenal signing is ‘scary'
William Saliba has admitted that Viktor Gyokeres is a scary player to come up against, and he's glad to have the striker on his team now. Photo via Given the links to multiple strikers throughout the summer so far, it's no surprise that there's been plenty of online debate about whether or not Viktor Gyokeres was the right choice for Arsenal over someone like Benjamin Sesko. But from a player perspective, having faced Gyokeres in the Champions League last season, William Saliba admits the centre-forward is a scary opponent. Photo by'We know how good he is, it's scary to play against him,' Saliba said. 'Of course, I'm so happy to have him in my club and I'm sure that he will help us to win games and win trophies.' '[He is scary] because when you face a striker who scores goals, you have to be focused. But now he's in our team and he will score for us, so that's good. 'Our mindset is to win the Premier League and we will give everything from the first game. We have a lot of new players and they will hopefully help us to win this league.' Photo byFormer Arsenal player Chuba Akpom recently suggested he'd prefer Gyokeres over Sesko, speaking before the Gunners began to advance on the signing. 'Gyokeres, for me, and it's not even close to be honest,' Akpom said. 'Honestly, it's subjective isn't it? You can talk about age with Sesko, but Gyokeres is ready now. 'I've played against him in the Championship, he took Coventry to the play-off finals basically alone, with one or two other players. And he's gone to Portugal and scored… what is it? I don't know how many goals, 50 goals in both seasons? 'If Arsenal are looking for now, then it's Gyokeres.' Photo byGyokeres' goalscoring numbers are certainly intimidating, as no one scored more than him around Europe's major top-flight leagues last season. 54 goals for Sporting and nine for Sweden meant the striker finished as top scorer in the Primeira Liga, the Taca da Liga, the Taca de Portugal, and the UEFA Nations League, and he also scored six Champions League goals despite only making six starts. It's no wonder opponents are intimidated by playing against the Swedish international.

Clubs in Europe's top division in rugby league vote to add more teams from 2026
HEADINGLEY, England (AP) — Clubs in the Super League, the top-tier of European rugby league, have voted to increase the number of teams in the competition to 14 from next season. The future structure of the league was discussed during a meeting at Headingley, north England, on Monday, with a proposal agreed to immediately open up two additional places, provided certain conditions are met. 'The 12 existing Betfred Super League clubs have today voted to extend the competition to 14 teams for the 2026 season, subject to conditions,' a statement from Super League (Europe) Limited read. 'This would be done by combining the Club Grading System introduced to determine Super League membership as part of the sport's long-term strategic partnership with IMG in 2022, with an independent panel to be chaired by Lord Jonathan Caine, who was recently elected as a member of the Rugby Football League Board, and the Strategic Review Sub-Committee. 'The top 12 clubs under grading at the conclusion of the 2025 domestic season will therefore be joined by two clubs recommended by that panel — provided the panel judges there are two applications of sufficient merit against the set criteria. 'Further details of the composition of the panel and the timing of the process will be confirmed in due course.' The Super League currently includes eleven teams from England and one side based in France — Catalans Dragons. The new proposals could see Championship teams such as Toulouse Olympique, Bradford Bulls, York Knights and London Broncos considered for a place in the expanded 14-team top-flight. Salford Red Devils, meanwhile, could see their Super League spot for 2026 reviewed given the club's ongoing financial issues.

Cardinals sign CB Keni-H Lovely
The Cardinals have added another cornerback. Arizona announced on Monday that the club has signed Keni-H Lovely. Lovely spent time with the Bills last offseason before heading to the UFL to play for the Michigan Panthers. He ended the season with 26 total tackles, four pass breakups, and an interception returned for a touchdown. This is the third UFL player the Cardinals have signed recently, having added defensive lineman Kyon Barrs and cornerback Steven Gilmore. Arizona did not have to make a corresponding move, as the club had an open roster spot.
