In the Merseyside derby on Saturday afternoon, two goals from Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool the lead against a 10-man Everton team, giving the Reds the right to claim the title.
Due to Ashley Young’s two yellow card offenses, the Toffees were down a man in the first half. After a trip in the second half, Ibrahima Konaté managed to avoid a second caution while the game was still close. After Michael Keane was called for a handball and a VAR review was conducted, Salah scored from the penalty spot. Deep into stoppage time, the Liverpool player completed the comeback with an assist from Darwin Nunez.
The outcome put the Reds on top of the Premier League for a brief while, but they are now only one point behind the top two teams from the previous campaign after Manchester City’s victory over Brighton and Arsenal’s draw against Chelsea knocked them down to third place. Everton still has seven points and is ranked sixteenth. We have compiled the most recent transfer rumors from both Merseyside clubs below as the January transfer window draws near.
According to a Daily Star report, Manchester City will permit Kalvin Phillips to leave the team in January due to connections with Everton and Newcastle United. With his £42 million move last summer, the former Leeds United player has had difficulty establishing himself in Manchester. He did not play in City’s 2-1 victory over Brighton at home.

Even Phillips acknowledged that he would have to think about his future with City. After England’s victory over Italy, he declared, “I know that I need to be competing and playing games every weekend.” Over the coming months, I will need to make a decision regarding [my future].
Osimhen move is “agreed” by Liverpool
Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Liverpool have allegedly come to an agreement regarding Osimhen’s transfer to Anfield. According to Football365, Italian journalist Valter De Maggio has reported that the Reds have discussed a potential transfer to Liverpool with the star striker from Napoli, who scored 31 goals in 39 games as the Italian team won the Serie A championship last season.
Friday, regarding Phillips’ future: “If he decides to do it [leave], then do it.” He remains if the agreement is not followed. He’s acting really strangely. To be honest, I don’t want to commend players who don’t play matches, but this guy is among the most giving players I’ve ever seen. The situation is entirely reversed; others may be having issues in the locker room.
“I’m the happiest man in the world every time he plays for the national team alongside Gareth Southgate.” I get to benefit when he performs. Nobody knows what will happen to Kalvin while the transfer window is open, so I have no idea.
Osimhen’s contract with Napoli expires in2025, and he has held discussions about extending it. However, it is rumored that Liverpool has “turned his head.” De Maggio stated: “Osimhen and Calenda broke their word after the parties [Napoli and Osimhen] had come to an agreement for the renewal. What took place? An additional club from the Premier League was added. I am referring to Liverpool.
There would be regular communication, but I recently discovered that there would also be agreements in place. To be clear, Napoli would not be involved in the agreements as they would be between the Reds and the player. We can’t keep Victor Osimhen, but I hope Laurentiis [the president of Napoli] can hold onto him at least until June.
In addition, Osimhen has been connected to Chelsea and Arsenal, raising doubts about his future at Napoli after he was made fun of by the team’s own TikTok account. If Salah decides to move to Saudi Arabia, Osimhen is allegedly going to be looked at as a potential Salah replacement.
