Liverpool could make a major transfer error in the summer, with right-back Neco Williams being linked with a departure to Southampton.
According to The Athletic, the Saints hold a long-standing interest in the 19-year-old and could make a swoop on a loan-to-buy deal.
Whilst Liverpool could rake in a fair amount for the youngster with him being rated at £9m, it would be a mistake for Michael Edwards to let him go so soon.
Williams, a nine-time Welsh international, has certainly displayed his promise after progressing through the Reds’ youth system.
He has now made 24 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions, turning in some extremely competent displays on the right side of defence.
It would certainly seem bizarre for the Reds to cut him adrift so soon considering that he is finally finding a route into the first-team under Jurgen Klopp.
[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/latest-liverpool-news%2c-transfer-rumours-and-more” title=”Latest Liverpool news, transfer rumours and more…”]
Any potential deal would look even more of a mistake considering the faith put into the defender by the Anfield hierarchy and of course the German. As recently as August 2020, he put pen to paper on a brand-new five-year deal at the club, with the player himself going on to suggest that there was “no better place” for him to play football.
To then sell the youngster having committed him to a new contract would be a huge error from the Reds.
It would also be baffling to see Williams sold considering the current right-back options available to the Klopp at Anfield.
Fellow academy graduate Trent Alexander-Arnold is the undisputed first-choice in that position, with Williams providing back-up as the only other natural right-sided defender in the squad.
Should the former suffer with injuries or poor form at some point in the future then that would see Williams promoted to first-choice so it would be remarkable to see the youngster jettisoned.
Despite Southampton’s interest, Liverpool then should not put any deal under any real consideration. It would be an unforgivable howler from Edwards to once again leave the Reds short of genuine cover in a key position, and it would have Klopp absolutely fuming.
AND in more news, the Reds might have found their perfect Georginio Wijnaldum replacement…
Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah and AC Milan have one foot in the next round after crushing Rennes 3-0 in the first leg of their Europa League tie.

Pulisic and Musah start for Milan
Loftus-Cheek leads way with brace
Leao back on the scoresheet
Getty
WHAT HAPPENED?
Ruben Loftus-Cheek was Milan's hero on the day, scoring the first two goals to ensure that the Italian giants would seize the advantage.
The ex-Chelsea man scored his first goal in the 32nd minute, breaking the deadlock during a fairly dominant Milan first half. His second came just after halftime, effectively putting the game to bed with a close-range reactionary finish just two minutes into the second 45.
Milan's third came from Rafael Leao, who had been desperate to score, and that third should seal Milan's place in the next round despite their upcoming trip to France.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The win should ease some pressure, particularly on manager Stefano Pioli, who has been under fire for results this season. Barring a Rennes miracle, Milan should be into the next round of the Europa League as they look to march on through the knockout rounds.
As for Leao, the goal will certainly be a weight off his shoulders as it ended a five-match goalless streak. He'd scored in just one of Milan's last seven games and hasn't scored outside of the Coppa Italia since November.
If the Portuguese superstar can find his form, Milan will be a tough team to beat going forward.

USMNT IMPACT
Having been a bit quiet lately, Pulisic wasn't the star of the show in this one, either, with his former Chelsea teammate Loftus-Cheek taking home Man of the Match honors. Pulisic had some decent moments on the ball, though, even if he couldn't quite contribute to a Milan goal.
Musah, meanwhile, made just his second start since December and it was an impressive one. The American had a solid game in the middle of the field, completing all but one of his passes, creating one chance and winning four duels.
Overall, it was a solid shift for Musah, who made a good case for a return to the starting XI in Serie A matches.

GOAL'S RATINGS
Christian Pulisic (7/10):
Active and effective, but just lacked that little bit of luck needed to get his goal. A solid performance, though, even if it wasn't game-changing.
Yunus Musah (7/10):
Decent shift for the American midfielder. Didn't do a whole lot wrong and had some good moments on both sides of the ball.
Everton must surely rue their decision to reject the chance to sign Erling Braut Haaland during his youth given the progression of the Borussia Dortmund star in the years since.
What’s the word?
While speaking with the Liverpool Echo, the Toffees’ former Head of European Recruitment, Ian Atkins, has revealed that the Goodison Park outfit snubbed the chance to sign Haaland as a teen.
The club’s then-Scandinavia-based talent spotter Brian King had spotted the emerging skills of the striker whilst he built a name for himself at Bryne FK, while contacts across Norway were already buzzing with talk of the country’s up-and-coming sensation.
Haaland would travel to Merseyside for a trial and a chance to prove himself at a Premier League club with a record for promoting their academy talents, but the views of those in control did not share King’s excitement.
“King was really excited about this kid,” Atkins said. “He’d watched Haaland a lot and rated him really highly. He gets on to the club and manages to get him in for four days with the academy, so that the coaches can have a look at him and see what they think.
“This is when Haaland is at Bryne, before the Molde move, so he’s raw but he’s got all these great attributes you don’t often see in someone so young.
“He comes in for four days and the academy decided he wasn’t good enough, something that Brian King didn’t agree with. He thought there was a real talent in there, but they didn’t agree. He was one that got away for Everton, but you get that in football. I think Haaland would have suited the English game.”
It is noted that it was not long after his failed trial spell that Haaland agreed to join a then-Ole Gunnar Solskjaer managed Molde FK, where his efforts would lead to a move to RB Salzburg and later Borussia Dortmund.
One that got away
Like Atkins told the Liverpool Echo, Haaland is certainly one that got away from Everton with the 20-year-old now one of Europe’s hottest properties and thought to be a target for Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Any side wishing to land the striker faces having to pay a king’s ransom, with his €75m (£65m) Dortmund buy-out clause not active until 2022 and claims that his agent, Mino Raiola, will push for a £78m, five-year contract with a basic wage of £300,000-per-week.
Raiola and BVB can both stake their claim to mammoth fees for Haaland to move this summer as few strikes in Europe offer as much as the Norwegian, or on such a regular basis.
Only Robert Lewandowski (26) and Andre Silva (18) have netted more goals than Haaland (17) in the Bundesliga this term, though no one has scored more often in the Champions League than the Leeds-born attacker – with a TransferMarkt valuation of £99m – who has struck home eight times in five games so far.
Haaland is far from the finished product, either, with Jesse Marsch – his former coach at RB Salzburg – only able to wax lyrical over the seven-cap striker.
“I always say about Erling, if you just talk about his talent, his physical abilities as a footballer, he is right away in the top one per cent of professionals, of the best players in the world, Marsch told Sky Sports. “But when you add his mentality, his joy, his commitment to improve, his work ethic, his fearlessness, right away, it is clear that there is no ceiling for this young man.”
But Everton will likely have to watch on as Haaland continues to take Europe by storm, knowing that they passed up on his potential after a four-day trial against the better judgment of the man who discovered his talent.

San Jose to sign Carlos Vela
Mexican to leave LAFC after six years
Shock California switch
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to 's Tom Bogert, Vela is set to join the Earthquakes from LAFC in a blockbuster free agent move. Linked with a move to the LA Galaxy over the Winter, the Mexican superstar and former MLS MVP is now set to snub them – and Liga MX – for a move to San Jose.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Vela, a six-year veteran with LAFC, net 98 goals across 188 matches where he won the 2019 MLS MVP award after snagging the Golden Boot with an MLS-record 34 goal campaign. In 2022, he won his first MLS Cup with the Black and Gold, while also earning the Supporters' Shield honors with LAFC. He is a three-time MLS Best XI selection as well – and will now be taking his talents to the largest city in Northern California.
DID YOU KNOW?
Vela recently turned 35-years old, but scored nine goals and added seven assists last campaign for LAFC. He's showing no signs of slowing down, despite his age.

WHAT NEXT FOR VELA AND SAN JOSE?
The duo will have to finalize the contract and decide what type of roster spot he will take up once things are in ink. Whether or not the Earthquakes use their open DP slot on Vela remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the Earthquakes take on the LA Galaxy Saturday evening.
Leeds United will look to right the wrongs from their latest outing in the Premier League. They were handed a 4-2 defeat by Arsenal last weekend – despite their second half spurt of energy, Marcelo Bielsa’s men couldn’t dig deep enough to counteract the home side’s emphatic performance.
Focus shifts to tonight’s match against Wolves as the Whites ready up to travel to Molineux for their next challenge. Bielsa has provided some positive updates regarding two of his senior personnel, confirming in his latest press conference that both Diego Llorente and Mateusz Klich are match fit.
With only three points in mind, Football FanCast has predicted how Leeds will set-up to take on the Wanderers this evening…
With the huge boost that Llorente has finally returned from injury, he could start tonight alongside Liam Cooper. Due to an injury-stricken squad, Bielsa has been forced to deploy Luke Ayling in a more central position to cater for the lack of centre-backs. But the £18m-rated summer recruit could once again kickstart his debut Leeds season with a solid performance in defence tonight.
Amid mounting exit links, Ezgjan Alioski continues to disappoint in white. He was replaced by 20-year-old Niall Huggins after 53 minutes against Arsenal. The youngster put in a very promising performance, completing 88% accurate passes to Alioski’s 70% and losing possession just three times compared to his senior’s 13, according to Sofascore.
His cameo against the Gunners was Huggins’ debut appearance for Leeds and now he has had a taste, he will be hungry for more. Bielsa could take a punt by starting him in defence tonight and seeing how he fares with a full 90 minutes under his belt.
In the engine room, things will likely remain unchanged. Pascal Struijk has been solid operating in the No.6 role in absence of Kalvin Phillips and the boss won’t want to upset this rhythm. Leeds need as much firepower to protect their goal as they can get – Wolves’ attack is firing from all cylinders despite the absence of Raul Jimenez and Bielsa will not want to come away without a positive result tonight.
Jack Harrison and Raphinha will as always support Patrick Bamford in attack, hoping to really give the home side’s backline something to cry about.
In other news, Leeds injury update on Diego Llorente is huge boost ahead of Wolves…
The academy graduate, who scored a crucial second goal, could be the next game-changing talent for Xavi's side
Fermin Lopez was crucial in Barcelona's first, and scored a wonderful second, as the Blaugrana saw off Shakhtar Donetsk to maintain their perfect record in the Champions League. Xavi's side took a 2-0 lead, but conceded in the second half to make for a nervy finish to a 2-1 victory.
Ferran Torres opened the scoring after 30 minutes, lashing a rebound home from short range after Lopez's effort cannoned off the post. Lopez made it two shortly after, collecting Joao Cancelo's pass in stride before pinging a shot in off the post from 20 yards out.
The Blaugrana had the ball in the back of the net for a third time, but Torres mistimed his run and was ruled offside. And they were made to pay. The visitors pulled one back on the hour mark, Heorhiy Sudakov running behind a Barca high line and blasting past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Lopez nearly had a second shortly after, but rattled the woodwork with a curled effort. Still, Barca saw out the contest to make it three wins from three in Group H.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Marc-Andre ter Stegen (6/10):
Will be annoyed to concede, and was probably too easily beaten at his near post.
Joao Cancelo (6/10):
A creative threat from deep areas, dangerous in his dribbling. But his final ball was lacking.
Ronald Araujo (6/10):
Failed to execute the offside trap on the Shaktar goal. Blasted a free-kick over the bar. Not his best showing.
Inigo Martinez (7/10):
Solid in central defence. Shaktar never really threatened down his side.
Marcos Alonso (7/10):
Got forward well, and put in some solid defensive work. An agreeable showing from a backup.

Midfield
Oriol Romeu (6/10):
Held things down well in the first half, but looked less secure when the game was stretched after the break.
Fermin Lopez (8/10):
A second straight start for the youngster. Played a crucial role in the opening goal after seeing his shot deflect into Torres' path off the post. Scored his first Champions League goal shortly after. Looks a real talent.
Ilkay Gundogan (7/10):
His dink into Lopez set up the Barca opener. Was otherwise steady in the middle of the park.
Getty
Attack
Lamine Yamal (7/10):
Dangerous on the right wing with his usual array of cuts and turns. Some more clinical finishing from his team-mates and Yamal might have come away with an assist or two.
Ferran Torres (7/10):
Took his goal well. Found the net a second time, but was ruled out – correctly – for offside. He's been solid, but the drop-off from Robert Lewandowski is immense.
Joao Felix (7/10):
A fine creative influence once again, even if he wasn't playing with a natural centre-forward. Limped off with an injury with 15 minutes remaining. Barca will hope it's not too serious.

Subs & Manager
Alejandro Balde (7/10):
Offered an injection of pace and creativity down the left after he came on.
Marc Guiu (6/10):
A lively cameo. Full of running off the ball and got into some good attacking areas.
Andreas Christensen (N/A):
No time to make an impact.
Marc Casado (N/A):
Only introduced late on.
Xavi (7/10):
Went with his strongest line-up, given the injury situation. He'll be glad that Barca were able to get ahead early, but things got stressful after Shaktar pulled one back. With the Clasico on Saturday, he needed a calm one.
The England international offered absolutely nothing throughout his hour on the pitch in a dreadful performance for the woeful Red Devils
Erik ten Hag's side came into the game desperate to atone for their hugely damaging Champions League draw with Galatasaray in midweek, in which Andre Onana made two dismal errors, but they simply couldn't find a way to hurt Newcastle.
The Magpies raced out of the traps and had a dominant start, creating a multitude of chances. Kieran Trippier came closest, as he sent a brilliant 25-yard free-kick against the crossbar, with Andre Onana rooted to the spot.
It would get better for Newcastle, however, as just 10 minutes after the restart, Anthony Gordon scored the only goal of the game, as he ghosted in at the back post to finish Trippier's cross.
United could not get out of their own half at times, and Marcus Rashford was particularly guilty, as he offered next to nothing in attack and barely tracked back to help the defence before being hooked on the hour.
Ten Hag's side did have a late rally after Nick Pope injured his shoulder and was substituted, but it came to nothing, with an Antony goal ruled out after the ball bounced in off Harry Maguire, who was clearly offside.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (6/10):
Made a superb early save from Almiron to settle any potential nerves. Rooted when Trippier hit the bar with a superb free-kick. Beaten all ends up by Gordon's goal but kept the score down in a decent performance.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (4/10):
Struggled with the pace of Gordon and lost the winger at the back post before the opening goal. Did make a great block later on but failing to pick up Gordon for the goal ultimately cost United. Subbed for Reguilon with 10 minutes to go.
Harry Maguire (5/10):
Constantly attempting to organise the backline. Put his body on the line where he could. Booked for a frustrated lunge and then managed to get in the way of Antony's goalbound shot that would've been the equaliser.
Luke Shaw (6/10):
Stepped into midfield when he could and made some vital blocks. United's best defender.
Diogo Dalot (4/10):
Did nothing to stop Newcastle's rampant attacks and was pinned back throughout the game by the dynamism of Trippier.

Midfield
Scott McTominay (4/10):
Worked hard in midfield but couldn't progress the ball. Always willing to run but he just had too much to do defensively to get forward.
Kobbie Mainoo (5/10):
Full of energy but overrun in midfield. Subbed for Amrabat on 80 minutes.
Bruno Fernandes (2/10):
Completely anonymous. Did nothing to help his team-mates and had no influence on the game. As poor as he's been this season.

Attack
Marcus Rashford (1/10):
As bad a performance as you could possibly imagine. Barely touched the ball and never bothered to track back. With him on the pitch, United were playing with 10. Subbed for Antony on the hour and he was fortunate to get that much time.
Anthony Martial (4/10):
Showed some glimpses of explosive pace but had nothing to feed off. Subbed for Hojlund.
Alejandro Garnacho (4/10):
Marked out of the game by Trippier. Can be breathtaking at his best but barely had a touch of the ball here.

Rasmus Hojlund (4/10):
On for Martial. Struggled just as much as the Frenchman.
Antony (5/10):
On for Rashford. Did a couple of ball rolls and stepovers and thought he had equalised, but his shot hit Maguire. Booked for a cynical foul as Newcastle broke away.
Sergio Reguilon (5/10):
On for Wan-Bissaka. Had an excellent shot from range well-blocked.
Sofyan Amrabat (5/10):
On for Mainoo. Moved the ball well.
Erik ten Hag (3/10):
None of his changes worked and neither did the selection of the defence. Rashford and Bruno Fernandes could both have been subbed in the first half. United aren't playing for him on this evidence.

There are few things on the planet that can fill out arenas and sell PPV television quite like WWE. For generations its thrilled fans, making superstars out of Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker, Stone Cold, John Cena, just to name a few. And it's as popular as it's ever been.
It's event television like nothing else, but these days there are multiple broadcasters showing the various events, with wrestling available to watch and live stream daily. So, whether you're looking to watch an elimination chamber, WrestleMania or Monday night Raw, here's all you need to know about watching WWE…
Which channels have the rights to WWE wrestling?
Currently, there are four broadcasters in the USA with rights to WWE shows, meaning you have to ensure you have the right networks to get your full fix of the shows. The two big weekly shows, Raw and SmackDown are both broadcast live on Mondays and Fridays respectively, with Monday night Raw live on USA Network and SmackDown on Fox Sports.
However, SmackDown will be moving to the USA Network in October 2024 when the current deal with Fox expires. That will see NBCUniversal Television have a bit of a monopoly on the WWE with Peacock also the home of the premium live events such as the Royal Rumble and SummerSlam.
For those wanting to enjoy the NXT roster, essentially the next generation of stars, WWE Main Event, is also broadcast weekly, shown each Thursday night on Hulu. You'll find some great bouts here, with the North American title often going on the line as names like Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee go head-to-head.
Best TV packages to watch WWE in 2024
With different events on various channels, there are several ways of getting all the different events across the week, so whether you're wanting to cheer on Becky Lynch in the ring, watch the next Roman Reigns bout, or any of your other favourite stars, you've got the right live stream to watch WWE.
Among the best packages to watch WWE currently are:
Peacock

Peacock is NBC's streaming service and offers a huge range of content from reality TV to Premier League soccer, NFL and more. It's, of course, a place where you can also stream WWE, with the ability to watch the USA Network and the PPV events, where many of the big belts are on the line. At present, it would leave you without SmackDown on Fox, but that would change when it returns to the USA Network in October 2024.
Peacock is priced at $5.99 per month for a version with ads in the on-demand content, or $11.99 per month without that. Alternatively, you can make a saving with a yearly subscription, priced at $59.99 or $119.99. Live premium events are PPV and require a one-off fee to watch.
It's available on a range of devices, from streaming on your television to your smartphone or tablet.

Sling TV offers a relatively reasonably priced option, priced at $40 per month. However, this will give you both NBC and Fox Sports. For this you need the Blue package, which also comes with the USA Network, giving you access to both of the main weekly events in the WWE.
The Sling Blue package comes with a total of 40 channels that you can watch, giving you much more than Peacock, while you can also add Sling Orange, which features 32 channels for an additional $15 per month. It's a non-contract subscription, meaning you can cancel at any time.
Alongside WWE, you'll be able to watch a stack of live sports, from boxing to MMA, soccer to NFL, NBA and beyond.

A number of Liverpool fans have been left frustrated by James Pearce’s update regarding the Reds’ summer transfer business at centre-back.
Jurgen Klopp’s side returned to winning ways against Southampton on Saturday evening, securing a vital 2-0 win at Anfield. It was a must-win game in the Premier League top four battle as Liverpool made the most of Leicester City’s shock 4-2 defeat at home to Newcastle United 24 hours previously.
[freshpress-quiz id=“355458″]
The Reds may have kept a clean sheet at Anfield, but they had a patched-up defence including Nathaniel Phillips and Rhys Williams, highlighting the issues they have had at centre-back this season. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are all long-term absentees, and Ozan Kabak and Ben Davies have also joined them on the treatment table in recent days.
It is vital that at least one new central defender comes in this summer, but in an ideal world, bringing in another wouldn’t go amiss.
Speaking in a post-match Q&A for The Athletic, however, Pearce revealed that he only expects the one central defender to arrive before the start of next season, saying: “I was told it’s likely that only one CB will be signed permanently this summer.”

In other news, one journalist has dropped a double Liverpool contract update. Read more on the story here.
Steven Gerrard could be set to receive a huge blow at Ibrox this summer, as Leeds United are reportedly set to reignite their interest in Rangers winger Ryan Kent.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side were heavily linked with a move for the former Liverpool youngster last summer ahead of their first season back in the Premier League and now, after an impressive campaign, they look likely to return for the 24-year-old Rangers star.
According to The Scottish Sun, the Yorkshire side are preparing a £15m bid for Kent this summer as they look to tempt him back to English football.
Although he made just one appearance for Liverpool’s senior side during this time with the Reds, he had a number of loan spells in the lower leagues of English football with Coventry City, Barnsley and Bristol City, before making the loan move to Ibrox in the summer of 2018.
After contributing six goals and six assists in 27 league appearances for Gerrard’s side, he joined the Light Blues on a permanent deal the following summer and has been a hugely important player at Ibrox ever since.
Kent has been instrumental in Rangers’ title win this season and has comfortably been one of their best performers both domestically and in Europe.
In 33 league appearances, the winger has contributed an impressive eight goals and seven assists, which has helped him earn a superb 7.40 average rating, which is second to only James Tavernier in the Rangers squad.
This would rank him as Leeds’ best performer if he were able to reproduce those numbers in the Premier League and given his seemingly endless running and ability to beat a man out wide, it is easy to see why Bielsa is so keen to bring him to Elland Road.
After Kent earned the Player of the Month award earlier in the season, Gerrard was full of praise for the young winger, saying:
“Ryan Kent has been top class and hasn’t let any noise affect him, he is scoring goals and looking very dangerous. He is really taking it to opposition teams and he’s settled and enjoying his football.
“Kent deserves to be Player of the Month and has been in sensational form. He has been fantastic to work with.”

Therefore, the 40-year-old would undoubtedly be fuming if Kent were to depart for Leeds United this summer, as he is surely at the forefront of Gerrard’s plans for next season’s title defence and Champions League return, so it would be a huge blow if he were to depart this summer.
