Jürgen Klopp was correct to make a “brilliant” transfer decision, as Arsenal might bring millions to Liverpool.

Dominic Solanke

In the midst of an incredible run of play that has further supported Jürgen Klopp’s choice at Liverpool, Dominic Solanke is once again generating transfer talk.

Who is atop the Premier League scoring tally this season is not surprising. There’s also no reward for figuring out who comes in second.

At 14, Erling Haaland is now in the lead, followed closely by Mohamed Salah at 12. The name “Level with the Egyptian,” however, may surprise some Liverpool supporters.

The sadness that the then-21-year-old forward had not reached his full potential at Anfield was somewhat lessened when Dominic Solanke left for Bournemouth in January 2019 because he had managed to earn $24 million (£19 million/€22 million) from his sale. The 26-year-old Solanke was a vital component of the England U20 team that won the World Cup in 2017, and it was seen as a huge coup when he joined with Chelsea.

Solanke has contributed significantly to Bournemouth’s ascent into the top 10, surpassing teams like Chelsea en route, with 12 Premier League goals so far this season, including eight in his previous seven games. Furthermore, despite his long-standing disassociation from the team, Solanke may still be extremely beneficial to the Reds.

Shortly after leaving Anfield, Solanke’s add-ons became active, bringing the total price Bournemouth paid for him to $31 million (£24 million/€28 million) – the same amount, incidentally, as Sheffield United spent on Rhian Brewster. However, Liverpool still has more money to gain from Solanke’s departure.

A’sell-on profit’ clause was also added by the Reds to the agreement, and it still stands even though Solanke signed a new contract with Bournemouth earlier this season, according to the ECHO. This means that if the Cherries sell Solanke for more over $31 million, Liverpool will get 20% of the proceeds.

That amount is probably not going to be as much as Bournemouth would hope to get for the player that Klopp previously called “brilliant.” In addition, the Daily Star reports that Arsenal may make a move for Solanke in place of Ivan Toney, and that Chelsea and Tottenham are also connected, so the Cherries may be in for some offers soon.

Whatever the outcome of the sell-on money, Liverpool’s transfer policy has been further validated by this. They made a handsome profit on a low-risk addition to their team, signing him for a tribunal cost that was “closer to £3 million than the £10 million that Chelsea wanted.” In terms of his talent, Solanke’s play also demonstrates that Liverpool was right to pursue the forward; unlike Bournemouth, they could not afford to wait for him to develop.

Liverpool’s recall clause for left back could be activated following Kostas Tsimikas’ injury.

Liverpool may try to call up a productive loanee in light of Kostas Tsimikas's broken collarbone, which has joined Andy Robertson

Liverpool may try to call up a productive loanee in light of Kostas Tsimikas’s broken collarbone, which has joined Andy Robertson on the long-term injured list.

Tsimikas suffered a fall during Saturday’s 1-1 tie with Arsenal, and it is anticipated that he will be out for at least six weeks.

During the match at Anfield, the Greek player was rushed straight to the hospital. In his press conference following the game, Jurgen Klopp stated that the player had “at least” a broken collarbone.

It comes at a terrible time because Robertson cannot yet resume contact training following surgery in October to address a major shoulder ailment.

Joe Gomez is set to assume the role of starting left-back, with Luke Chambers, 19, and Calum Scanlon, 18, serving as backups.

Though Robertson should be back in training by next month, Liverpool does have another alternative to think about as they prepare for a stretch without both him and Tsimikas.

The club’s contract with Dundee has a clause that permits Wales left-back Owen Beck to be recalled in January, according to the Courier.

Earlier this week, manager Tony Docherty clarified, “We are still in talks right now.” “They and we are both happy.”

Docherty was speaking prior to Tsimikas’s injury, which could complicate matters because Liverpool’s top concern is to make sure they have enough cover.

Although Beck, 21, is currently recovering from a groyne injury, he participated in the entire 90 minutes of last weekend’s 1-0 victory against Ross County and was anticipated to feature in Saturday’s postponed match against Aberdeen.

Docherty says he would just need to “put the reins on him a wee bit,” thus the scenario is one that can be handled.

The manager clarified, “He is that kind of guy that he is all in whether it is a gym session, a 90-minute game, or a training session.

It is evidence of his excellent performance. He gives everything he has to everything he does.

Sometimes you have to take a little bit of the reins when it comes to his training load.

“You need to keep in mind how much football he has played. He has had a fantastic season, but occasionally you have to give him a little more guidance.

In the Scottish Premiership this season, Beck has started all bar one of Dundee’s games. In the League Cup, he has started all four of his games and played the whole ninety minutes in each.

Although it is likely that Liverpool will feel that his growth is best served out on loan, Tsimikas and Robertson’s injuries may force their hand
