GERRARD COULD YET PLAY FOR LIVERPOOL AGAIN
Jurgen Klopp will reassess Steven Gerrard’s playing situation if he makes an impression in training, according to The Independent.
The newspaper was the first to reveal on Wednesday that Gerrard would be returning to Liverpool, but Klopp stressed later in the day that he had not discussed the possibility of the 35-year-old turning out in Red again.
The Independent insists it could happen if all parties are happy, but ‘Gerrard is more likely to feature in the club’s off-field long-term strategy’, the newspaper adds.
CHELSEA STARLET ATTRACTING BIG-MONEY INTEREST
Chelsea could sell an Academy star for in excess of £10million, claims the Daily Mirror.Charly Musonda, a Belgium Under-21 midfielder, is regarded as one of the Blues’ best young prospects but does not appear close to breaking into Jose Mourinho’s first-team plans.
With that in mind, Monaco are ready to try again for the 19-year-old in January having apparently had a £10million bid rejected by Chelsea in the summer. If the west London club refuse to sell Musonda, who has also been linked with Arsenal, Monaco will ask to take him on loan for the rest of the season.
UNITED AND LIVERPOOL TRACK TEEN STAR
Manchester United and Liverpool are ready to go head-to-head for Danish wonderkid Emre Mor, claims the Daily Mail.The 18-year-old’s performances for FC Nordsjaelland Under-19s have earned ‘rave reviews’ from scouts across Europe, according to the newspaper, with the two Premier League clubs among the clubs considering approaches.
However, Borussia Dortmund are said to be ‘long-term admirers’ of the forward, while Ajax are also keen.
