Latest Premier League News and Transfer Rumours

Here is our EPL transfers and news round-up from today’s papers.

Klopp Continues with Liverpool

Two months after Jürgen Klopp left his position as manager of Liverpool, he continues to be tied to the Merseyside outfit as he has agreed to become an honorary ambassador for the LFC Foundation, which is the club’s official charity organisation.

He has long been associated with the LFC Foundation, always contributing during his nine-year stint at Liverpool. Even after his last game in charge against Wolves in May, he donated a number of items worn and signed by him for a fundraising auction, which raked in £40,000 in seven days.

Speaking about his role as LFC Foundation honorary ambassador, Klopp said: “The LFC Foundation does an incredible job in the community, both in the Liverpool city region and beyond.

“I’m really proud to continue my work with them and be named the first-ever LFC Foundation honorary ambassador. I look forward to seeing what we can do with that, now that I have more time on my hands.”

Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino is ready to leave the club this summer and would be interested in a move to Arsenal, who are prepared to pay £21 million to bring him in, according to Football Transfers. However, word from Tutto Juve is that Sociedad are looking for £33.7 million to part ways with Merino.

German newspaper Die Woche claims that Liverpool are ready to trigger the £50.5 million release clause of RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo, but must also convince him to reject interest from Manchester City and Barcelona in favour of a move to Anfield.

According to Turkish journalist Ertan Suzgun, 18-year-old Besiktas striker Semih Kilicsoy is of interest to at least two EPL clubs. Aston Villa has offered a player-plus-cash deal, while Fulham also made an offer. Both were rejected as they did not amount to the Istanbul’s club valuation of the player: £25.2 million.
