‘Liverpool sources are clear’: Ben Jacobs announces evening transfer news that will interest fans

Liverpool was rumored to be interested in bringing in a defender in the summer, and while that desire may still exist in January, it’s unlikely that it will be Piero Hincapie of Bayer Leverkusen.

Manuel Sierra, the player’s agent, clarified earlier statements made about his client’s future, and Ben Jacobs added that his sources at the Reds had told him the center-back would not be taken into consideration for the upcoming transfer window.

By agreeing to an extension of his contract until 2027 earlier this year, the Bundesliga club has secured the short-term future of their Ecuadorian international.

The cost of pursuing Hincapie, a player Xabi Alonso will be particularly eager to hold onto, is most likely what will prevent Liverpool from making a January move for him.

There is also the unexpected rise of 20-year-old Jarell Quansah, a graduate of the Academy.
However, despite how impressive the young man has been, it is important to keep in mind that he does not fit the bill for the left-footed defender we still desperately need.

If the need arises on our end, we could possibly also look in the direction of Sporting CP’s Goncalo Inacio, though the Premier League star will also not be inexpensive.

Michail Antonio declares Liverpool to have “won”  As he speaks out about his embarrassing pre-match remarks

At Anfield last month, Liverpool defeated West Ham with ease.
Before remaining very quiet on the field, Michail Antonio had made a number of audacious claims in the lead-up.

After West Ham’s defeat to Liverpool, striker Michail Antonio broke his silence to address the controversy surrounding his pre-game remarks.

Antonio expressed optimism in West Ham’s ability to defeat the then-unbeaten Liverpool team and advance further in the Premier League standings during comments made prior to the game at Anfield on the Footballers’ Football Podcast.
Fans, the media, and others were outraged by these remarks.
Even though he made bold statements, West Ham lost, and he was very quiet.

Despite his earlier predictions, Antonio had little effect on the actual game, which Liverpool won 3-1.

His absence from the podcast after the game allowed co-host Callum Wilson to highlight his underwhelming performance metrics.

Antonio’s absence was thought to be related to West Ham’s participation in the Carabao Cup third round matchup with Lincoln City.
However, Antonio only recently addressed this issue, jokingly claiming that his coworkers had set him up.

Antonio responded to the criticism by admitting that his predictions were incorrect, but he didn’t let it get to him. He jokingly referred to getting a metaphorical “pie in the face” and declared his willingness to make similar predictions in the future.

Antonio admitted that he erred in judgment, but he also noted that the result might have changed if he had taken advantage of his opportunity during the game. He thought West Ham had a chance to maintain a lead and earn a victory.

It’s interesting how Antonio went one step further and claimed that he “won the game” as a result of the level of obsession some Liverpool fans had for him before and after the game. He asserted that if West Ham had prevailed, some of these supporters might have even shown up at his home.

Antonio’s remarks hinted at the effect he had on Liverpool fans, highlighting the attention he received from them both during and after the game. He jokingly remarked that he continues to get messages from Liverpool supporters.

I have a large pie in my face, but it’s not a problem. I’m not concerned. What is, is what is. Antonio declared, “I’d go through with it again. “We got the game going well, and we had a few good opportunities.

The game might have gone differently if I had seized the opportunity, and we likely would have held onto the lead because that is something we are good at.

It is clear that Antonio is still self-assured and unrepentant despite the controversy and criticism that his remarks may have generated.
He doesn’t hold back when expressing his opinions, even if they turn out to be incorrect, as evidenced by his lighthearted reaction to the circumstance.

Regardless of how the game turned out, West Ham and Liverpool supporters will never forget Antonio’s comments. In many ways, despite the embarrassing outcome for the West Ham star in this instance, we shouldn’t discourage footballers from being so open and willing to speak out.
