Atalanta boss 'convinced' of Liverpool move

Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini is convinced Charles De Ketelaere will be playing for Liverpool within the next two years, according to Italian outlet Repubblica.

The Belgian has recorded 19 goal involvements so far this season for Atalanta, who sits top of Serie A at the moment.

According to the report, Gasperini expects De Ketelaere to head to Anfield or Real Madrid soon, or another big club club in England or Spain.

So far, we’ve seen how he has behaved and I don’t predict any ‘scares’ in January for Zubimendi to leave.

Ricardo Pepi bid

An unnamed Premier League club has submitted an offer for PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi, according to GOAL.

The USMNT star has been linked with Liverpool previously, with CaughtOffside suggesting last month that the Reds were one of a number of clubs considering a move for him.

Now it's suggested that a bid of around $20.8m (£17m/€20m) has been made by a Premier League side ahead of the January transfer window, although it's not stated which club it is.

The claim comes after Dutch outlet Eindhovens Dagblad had reported that a offer had been made for Pepi, although it also added that PSV is holding out for a huge offer.
