Newcastle United Preview and News
It was a busy summer for Newcastle on the transfer market. The Magpies were left by many star players while some others arrived. Players like Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier all left the club.
But some other quality players arrived at St. James’ Park. Hoffenheim’s Bazoumana Toure will reinforce the left wing, replacing Anthony Gordon, while Benfica’s Amar Dedic, Monaco’s Aladji Bamba, Braga’s Lukas Hornicek and Ajax’s Sean Steur can make their official Premier League debuts.
For Newcastle’s new manager, Matthias Jaissle, it would be very important to fix the team’s line-up after the departure of Sandro Tonali. The Italian international was the glue of Newcastle’s midfield. The team must learn how to play without him in these first few months of the season.
Liverpool Preview and News
Just like Newcastle, Liverpool had a summer of many internal changes. The manager Arne Slot was sacked and replaced by Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola while the legendary Mohamed Salah officially left the club. Ibrahima Konate left the team as a free agent as well, while Andy Robertson decided to join Tottenham.
But there are some interesting arrivals in the club, too. Rennes’ Jeremy Jacquet will have the task of replacing Ibrahima Konate in defence, while Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo arrived at Merseyside as well. Another exciting signing is the 22-years old Spanish winger Victor Munoz – a player who was part of Spain’s World Cup winning squad this summer.
In their last friendly match before the new season, Liverpool faced Como and achieved a 2-0 win at Anfield. Cody Gakpo opened the score for the Reds while the summer signing Jeremy Jacquet doubled the lead.
