Bradley suspension piles more pressure on Slot after 3-3 Leeds collapse

Conor Bradley
December 2025

Liverpool suffered another setback from their chaotic 3-3 draw at Leeds as right-back Conor Bradley collected his fifth yellow card of the season, triggering a one-match ban that rules him out of next weekend’s Premier League trip to Brighton and deepens Arne Slot’s defensive problems. Already missing Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni, Liverpool must now reshuffle again, with Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones or Dominik Szoboszlai possible cover at right-back, as Slot fumed about conceding yet another late set-piece goal and warned such errors explain their lowly league position.

Adam Wharton’s agent has admitted the Crystal Palace midfielder ultimately wants Champions League football, acknowledging that a move away from Selhurst Park is likely one day amid growing interest from Manchester United and other elite clubs ahead of the 2026 transfer window. Co-owner Steve Parish stressed Palace will only sell for a huge fee, pointing to Wharton’s long contract, focus on regular minutes and England ambitions, while accepting it is unsurprising major sides admire an “extraordinary talent” who could reach Europe either with Palace or elsewhere.

December 2025

Chelsea striker Liam Delap faces another spell out after suffering a shoulder injury and being forced off after 32 minutes in a goalless draw against Bournemouth, compounding a stop-start beginning to life at Stamford Bridge following a previous two-month hamstring layoff. Bundled over by Marcos Senesi, Delap left the pitch in visible pain as Chelsea’s attack again misfired. Enzo Maresca said it “looks quite bad” and admitted both player and club have been unlucky, stressing Chelsea “need that kind of No.9” while scans in the coming days determine damage.

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

December 2025

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.

Arsenal suffer new blow as Mosquera faces six-to-eight weeks out

Cristhian Mosquera
December 2025

Cristhian Mosquera is expected to miss six to eight weeks after suffering a complicated ankle injury in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Brentford, leaving Mikel Arteta without all three of his centre-backs at a time when the club lead both league and Champions League groups. With William Saliba nursing a knock and Gabriel Magalhaes likely out until January, Mosquera’s setback forces further reshuffles alongside Piero Hincapie, increases reliance on full-backs and academy cover, and risks disrupting Arsenal’s defensive cohesion heading into a congested winter schedule.

Arsenal
December 2025

Arsenal have agreed future deals to sign Ecuadorian twins Edwin and Holger Quintero from Independiente del Valle, confirming the 16-year-olds will officially join in August 2027 when they turn 18 as part of the club’s aggressive push to secure elite teenage talent early. The Gunners beat major European rivals after tracking the pair for over a year, with winger Edwin likened to a young Neymar and playmaker Holger seen as a creative No.10, pointing to the pathway blazed by Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly and Dowman as proof of opportunity.

Ruben Amorim drops Leny Yoro and explains Matthijs de Ligt absence in tactical reshuffle

Ruben Amorim
December 2025

Ruben Amorim left Leny Yoro out of his starting eleven against West Ham and turned to Noussair Mazraoui, while giving Ayden Heaven his first start and omitting Matthijs de Ligt from the squad, insisting the decision on Yoro was a deliberate tactical call rather than punishment. After Yoro conceded a penalty at Crystal Palace and was visibly distraught on the bench, Amorim said the young defender overthinks mistakes and must handle setbacks better, praising Mason Mount’s support, stressing that Yoro remains fit and available, but that United urgently needed a different profile for a must win match.

Mohamed Salah benching fuels fresh Saudi Pro League move talk

Mohamed Salah
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.
