Former Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has died aged 79 in Dallas, with his family confirming the American businessman passed away on Saturday surrounded by loved ones, prompting condolences from the club he helped buy in 2007 and sold in 2010. In a family statement, Hicks was described as a “guiding force” whose most cherished title was “Dad”, while Liverpool noted his parallel ownership of the Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars and expressed sympathy to relatives and friends at what they called a difficult time.

Salah blasted for “embarrassing” rant after Leeds benching

Mohamed Salah
December 2025

Mohamed Salah’s explosive post-Leeds interview, in which he accused Liverpool of “throwing me under the bus” and claimed someone wants him to take all the blame, has drawn fierce backlash as his form dips and his relationship with Arne Slot visibly frays. Unused in the 3-3 draw at Leeds, Salah insisted he had earned his place and was being unfairly targeted, but Chris Sutton branded the comments “embarrassing” and “disrespectful”, arguing that a player in poor form must accept being benched like anyone else.

Furious Salah says Liverpool have “thrown me under the bus” and hints at Anfield goodbye

Mohamed Salah delivered a shocking post-match interview after Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Leeds, accusing the club of “throwing me under the bus” and declaring he will say “goodbye” to fans in next weekend’s home match against Brighton, signalling a potential imminent exit. Benched for three straight league games amid a sharp dip from last season’s 29 goals and 18 assists, Salah has been criticised for his silence during Liverpool’s slump. With Slot under pressure and Salah only recently signing a new two-year deal, his public outburst intensifies the crisis.

Konate’s nightmare at Elland Road piles pressure on Liverpool defence

Ibrahima Konate
December 2025

Liverpool twice surrendered the lead in a chaotic 3-3 draw at Leeds, with Ibrahima Konate involved in two goals conceded. Hugo Ekitike’s quickfire brace and a late Dominik Szoboszlai strike were not enough to secure three points in a fragile title defence. Konate conceded a penalty by clumsily bringing down Wilfried Gnonto, then backed off Anton Stach for Leeds’ second before ducking under a late corner that Ao Tanaka buried in stoppage time. Arne Slot admitted the centre-back has been “a bit too much at the crime scene” this season.

Slot defends misfiring Isak and says Liverpool must “bring him into threatening situations”

Alexander Isak

Arne Slot has moved to calm concern over Alexander Isak’s slow start at Liverpool, arguing that the £125 million striker should not be judged purely on goals after an injury-disrupted first spell and limited service, despite scoring only once in all competitions so far. Slot pointed to the modern reality that elite No.9s rarely get constant clear chances and insisted Liverpool must supply Isak better in key zones. He contrasted Isak with Erling Haaland, saying touches must come at the right moments, and called for collective improvement rather than blaming the forward.

Mohamed Salah benching fuels fresh Saudi Pro League move talk

December 2025

Mohamed Salah’s omission from Liverpool’s starting line up for two straight league games under Arne Slot has revived Saudi Pro League plans for a marquee move, with league chiefs ready to underwrite a huge bid if the 33 year old shows any willingness to leave. Liverpool previously rejected a £150 million offer from Al Ittihad and Salah admitted earlier talks with Saudi officials were serious before signing a new deal to 2027, but his recent benching has shifted perceptions of his status as the league’s top active scorer and reopened speculation over his long term future.

Liverpool and Spurs advance talks for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande as Barcelona watch

Yan Diomande
December 2025

Liverpool and Tottenham are both reported to be at an advanced stage of discussions with Yan Diomande’s camp, viewing the RB Leipzig winger as a priority target for their next attacking rebuild, while Barcelona track the situation cautiously due to financial constraints. Diomande’s rapid rise from US high school and UPSL football to Leganes and then Leipzig, plus his pace and versatility in Bundesliga attacks, have made him a coveted winger, with Spurs seeking extra firepower for Thomas Frank and Liverpool eyeing him as a long term wide option in their next generation front line.

Liverpool honour late Diogo Jota on what would have been his 29th birthday

December 2025

Liverpool marked what would have been Diogo Jota’s 29th birthday with an emotional tribute post, reaffirming their support for his widow Rute, his children and the family of his late brother Andre Silva after the forward’s fatal car accident in July. The club have retired Jota’s number 20 shirt, kept a permanent memorial outside Anfield and committed to honouring the rest of his contract by paying his £140,000 a week wages to his family, while fans continue to sing his song in the twentieth minute of every home match.

Florian Wirtz denied first Liverpool goal by dubious own goal call

Florian Wirtz
December 2025

Liverpool needed a stroke of luck to avoid another damaging league result, drawing level when Florian Wirtz’s mis-hit shot deflected heavily off Nordi Mukiele and beat Robin Roefs, only for the Premier League’s goal accreditation panel to credit it as a Sunderland own goal. After Virgil van Dijk’s error and deflected concession left Liverpool chasing the game, Curtis Jones sparked a rare attacking surge and Wirtz slalomed through the box, but replays showed his effort was heading well wide, inviting more mockery of his output despite him being one of Liverpool’s few bright performers in a flat display.

Spurs join Liverpool and Man City in £65m Semenyo transfer chase

Antoine Semenyo
December 2025

Northern interest in Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo is intensifying, with Tottenham joining Liverpool and Manchester City in eyeing a January move and closely studying the £65 million release clause that would make the in form Ghana international one of the window’s priciest deals. Semenyo has produced six goals and three assists in 12 league games, justifying the price and fitting the explosive wide profile Spurs failed to secure last summer. Tottenham are now more prepared to pay, though uncertainty over under fire coach Thomas Frank clouds their pursuit.
