FT - BRE 0-2 LIVKEY EVENT

Nunez strikes twice late on

Wow!

That second goal went in before I could finish writing about the first one.

Mbeumo is a different winger than Elanga, both very talented and very good, but different, so that's why every team has different challenges as well, because of the individual qualities of the players."

Kerkez's belter

We're focussing on Liverpool's game at Brentford, but plenty of Reds fans will have loved what they saw from Milos Kerkez during Bournemouth's dominant 4-1 win over Newcastle in today's early kick-off.

Kerkez, who is among Liverpool's left-back targets for the summer transfer window, scored the Cherries' fourth goal of the game, producing a neat step-over before driving the ball into the far corner.

He celebrated by ripping his shirt off to expose abs that wouldn't look out of place alongside Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool line-up vs Brentford confirmed

The leaked team in the last post was right...

Starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.

Hull City, Preston, Blackburn, Stoke and Oxford are all said to have joined the race.

That comes after the same outlet claimed Derby County and Millwall had watched Danns in action for Liverpool U21s this week, while Cardiff and Plymouth were also linked earlier on in January.

Barcelona is ready to launch an offer for Luis Diaz in the summer, according to Antena2.

It's claimed the Catalan club could table a $72m (£59m/€70m) offer for the 28-year-old, who still has two-and-a-half years on his contract at Anfield.

Barcelona are reportedly interested in Luis Diaz.

Milos Kerkez 'considered'

Milos Kerkez is being considered by Richard Hughes as the Liverpool sporting director assesses left-back options, according to The Times.

The Bournemouth defender has been linked with the Reds for a while now, and it seems Hughes might be keen on signing him for a second time, having brought him to England while with the Cherries.

Trent Alexander-Arnold boost

Trent Alexander-Arnold has not made a final decision on his future yet, according to GIVEMESPORT, despite reports suggesting he has agreed a move to Real Madrid.

Reports in Spain this week have been bullish about Alexander-Arnold making the move to the Bernabeu, suggesting that it is already a done deal.

GMS though suggests otherwise, claiming that Alexander-Arnold has not given Liverpool any confirmation that he wants to move to Madrid yet, and remains committed to the Reds for the rest of the season as a minimum.

Darwin Nunez interest 'genuine'

Saudi Arabia's interest in Darwin Nunez is genuine, according to the Daily Mail.

Speculation has been growing over the Uruguay international's future recently, with his form for Liverpool not showing much sign of improving.

But while Liverpool could face interest from the Middle East, the Mail does point out that the club has had no official approaches, which once again dismisses reports earlier this week suggesting the Reds had turned down a bid for Nunez.
