Sky pundit thinks many won’t have heard of ‘fantastic’ Liverpool player before this season

Clinton Morrison has named the ‘magnificent’ Liverpool player he believes many would not have heard of before this season.

The Reds go into Christmas second in the Premier League table following their 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday. The result certainly whets the appetite for the rest of the campaign with neither Jurgen Klopp’s men nor the Gunners finding their best form yet.

One player who has been really impressive so far has been Dominik Szoboszlai. The Hungarian joined the Reds in the summer after impressing with the likes of Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig.

Szoboszlai was arguably one of the best players in the Premier League in the opening weeks of the season. And while his form did dip more recently, the 23-year-old looks to be a brilliant addition to the Reds’ ranks.

Certainly, Clinton Morrison has been hugely impressed by Szoboszlai, telling Sky Sports News (broadcast on 24/12; 16:26) that he has been his signing of the season so far.

“Szoboszlai. Listen, mine was close, really close between two. I just put him ahead of Mohammed Kudus, who’s been outstanding at West Ham, I think he will be a superstar. But this guy has been magnificent,” he said.

“I can guarantee a lot of people didn’t know who he was before he came in, he was at RB Leipzig. But the goals he’s scored, fantastic. He’s going to be brilliant for Liverpool.”

Perhaps Szoboszlai may not have been a household name before this season, but he was certainly a player a lot of clubs had their eye on.

Liverpool were the only team willing to pay Szoboszlai’s release clause. And that decision is looking like a masterstroke right now.

The Reds remain a work in progress. They arguably need to sign another holding midfielder at some stage. And Jurgen Klopp has probably got a few injury headaches.

But Szoboszlai looks to have every chance of being a star of the Liverpool side for the next decade.

Jurgen Klopp hints that £40m Liverpool player could soon return after ‘intense’ training session

Jurgen Klopp has hinted that Diogo Jota could soon return to Liverpool action having been involved in a recent training session.

The Portuguese international has been out for over a month after picking up an injury against Manchester City, though Jota is close to making a full recovery.

The £40m signing from Wolves missed this weekend’s clash against Arsenal, with Liverpool losing another player through injury on Saturday in the form of Kostas Tsimikas.

And speaking to the press, Klopp has indicated that Jota could now be back as early as Boxing Day to face Burnley, with the forward taking part in an intense training session.

“I don’t want to rule out anybody now. We will see. He didn’t train with the team yet and we have only one proper session, so it would be a surprise – but maybe I will be surprised and all fine.

“I don’t know. I saw him [on Friday]; he didn’t train with the team but the session I saw was really intense, but I didn’t ask yet who will be available. The medical department will tell me and then I will know more.”

Whilst Liverpool won’t be going into Christmas Day top of the Premier League, heading into 2024 sitting in first place is more than achievable for the Reds.

And Jota’s return could be huge in the Anfield side achieving this goal, with the Portuguese international one of the most clinical players in the Liverpool squad.

With Darwin Nunez yet to score in the Premier League since October, it could be a good time to bring Jota back into the fold to add more firepower to the frontline.

And Klopp’s comments strongly hint that Jota might be back in time for Boxing Day, a boost that would be huge for Liverpool.

Kostas Tsimikas leaves the field early vs Arsenal with shoulder injury

9 SECONDS AGO
DARYL FINCH
Liverpool left-back Kostas Tsimikas is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering a shoulder injury during Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash with Arsenal.

The Greece international was forced off the field in the 35th minute after a shoulder barge on the touchline by Bukayo Saka sent him flying off the pitch and into coach Jurgen Klopp.

In the process, the Greek landed awkwardly, visibly wincing in pain as he clutched his shoulder area.

The Liverpool medical team didn’t hesitate or attempt to treat the player on the pitch and he was immediately replaced by Joe Gomez.

SHORT OF OPTIONS
With Andrew Robertson already missing for the Reds, this latest injury could be a major blow for Liverpool at this very busy time of year.

Gomez, who replaced Tsimikas on the day, has played at left-back on many occasions, but it’s not his natural position.

Youngster Luke Chambers, a natural left-footer, is likely the next player in the pecking order for the role.

Tsimikas will be sent for tests following the game, the results of which will be eagerly anticipated by the Reds’ coaching staff.

Watch a goal from Mohammed Salah against Arsenal 1-1

Watch goal from Arsenal against Liverpool 1-0

Sources: Newcastle United terminate Joe White deal as Stockport County move agreed

Newcastle United are terminating midfielder Joe White’s Crewe Alexandra loan for him to join Stockport County for the second half of the 2023-24 campaign, sources have told Football Insider.

White, 21, joined Crewe on a six-month loan deal in the summer transfer window and the attacking midfielder has impressed for the Railwaymen.

League Two leaders Stockport have moved to agree a deal with Newcastle to take White on loan for the second half of the season.

We are delighted to confirm the loan signing of classy Newcastle United midfielder Joe White.

Welcome, Joe. 🤩https://t.co/B6wdXnJvAn

He will link up with his new club as soon as the transfer window opens on 1st January.

The midfielder has made 20 appearances for Crewe so far this season, notching two goals and three assists.

He joined the Cheshire outfit on the penultimate day of the summer window but is now set for another EFL move.

White predominately plays as a central midfielder but can also play on both flanks and in more advanced central roles.

The former England Under-18 international has also had loan spells at Exeter and Hartlepool since making his senior breakthrough.

Despite featuring prominently for Newcastle at youth level, White is yet to make his first-team debut for the Magpies.

He signed a new three-year deal at St James’ Park last year (2022), keeping him on Tyneside until the summer of 2022.

White was named on the bench for Newcastle in Premier League games against Man United and Man City in the 2021-22 campaign.

He is one of several players, including Harrison Ashby and Kell Watts, to be loaned out by the Magpies to gain first-team experience this term.

Crewe sit fifth in League Two but are 12 points behind league leaders Stockport – who are poised to steal White away from their promotion rivals.

In a response to a viral video, the Nigeria Police Force has dismissed two constabularies, Jimoh Lukman and Kareem Fatai, for extorting money from a Dutch tourist.

The officers, caught on camera demanding bribes, were arrested, stripped of their uniforms, and publicly paraded on Thursday in Oyo State.

Briefing newsmen at the Oyo Police Command’s Headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, the Commissioner of Police (CP), Adebola Hamzat, said the constabularies extorted a tourist from Netherland, Ms Noraly Schoenmaker.

Hamzat said that the incident happened on October 23 along Moniya-Iseyin road.

According to him, the dismissed constabularies deliberately defied numerous orders and directives against professional misconduct, extortion, incivilities to members of the public and corruption.
“We have always been warning you against extortion. We have been warning you that this administration has zero tolerance for corruption.
“That is the stand of the Inspector General of Police and my stand as the Commissioner of Police in Oyo State.
“You are very aware that we don’t condone corruption and don’t want the Command to be given a bad name,” he said.
Hamzat said the incident of extortion by the constabularies was captured on live streaming and was televised worldwide.
The CP said that the incident had brought international disgrace to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
“I want to tell you that the NPF have served in many parts of the world and have not been found wanting of extortion and corruption allegations,” he said.
The CP warned other officers to be satisfied with what they earn as salaries and not tarnish the image of the force by extorting money from motorists.
“I wish to inform the residents of Oyo State and by extension the public that Special Constabularies Kareem Fatai and Jimoh Lukmon have been dismissed in furtherance of the completion of their orderly room trials.
“This action is to serve as deterrence to other officers with a similar disposition,” Hamzat said.

The Enugu State Police Command, Monday, denied the culpability of its officers on the increasing kidnap cases along the Enugu-Ugwuogo-Opi-Nsukka road.

This followed news aired by a private radio accusing the police of being behind the kidnappings. Our correspondent reports that there are at least twenty checkpoints along the 51 kilometre road, but kidnap cases are frequently reported on the route.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, described the report as false.

According to him, “This allegation is false and unfounded. It is purely an act of mischief and disinformation meant to sabotage the police’s unwavering commitment to rid Enugu State of unrepentant criminals. It is also aimed at pitting the police against the good people of the state in this yuletide.

“Consequently, the Enugu State Command urges all and sundry to disregard this manner of falsehood and disinformation while encouraging the accuser(s) to come forward with proof of such allegations for necessary disciplinary action.”

D’banj Cleared Of Rape, N-Power Fraud Allegations By Nigeria Police, ICPC

Nigerian artist, Dapo ‘D’banj’ Oyebanjo, has been absolved of allegations relating to rape and N-Power fraud by both the Nigeria Police Force and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

Documents obtained by Punch on Friday revealed that both the police and the anti-graft agency concluded separate investigations, exonerating the artist.

An affidavit presented by Toheeb Lawal of Law Corridor, a law firm based in Abuja, before the District Court of Abuja, said the reports clearing the singer were submitted as exhibits A and B.

In 2020, D’banj was accused of rape, which eventually led the Inspector General of Police to order an investigation into the allegation.

The police report, dated November 14, 2023, with case number CR:3000/X/FHQ/ABJ/SEB/T.1/VOL 18/284, signed by ACP YY Abubakar of the Special Enquiry Bureau at the Force Criminal Investigations Department, said there were insufficient evidence to substantiate the claims made against D’banj.

It said, “The complainant, witnesses, and suspects made their statement. The investigation was extended to the Glee Hotel Lagos, where the staff on duty on the date of the alleged incident made their statement.

“The management and staff of the Glee Hotel averred that the first suspect was not seen in the hotel on the date of the alleged incident, nor was he given a spare key to gain access to any room in the hotel where the complainant lodged, and they have only one key to each room, which completely debunked the allegation of the complainant.

“The management of the hotel also held that it had no record to show that the complainant checked into the hotel as a guest on the alleged date, and she did not, at any time, raise an alarm, complain, or report any indecent assault or rape.”

It added, “There is no medical report on the victim to ascertain that she was raped. There are no adduced facts or corroborative evidence to substantiate the allegation of rape against the suspect. Prima facie offences of indecent assault, rape, and intimidation are not made out.

“However, the complainant, through her counsel, Ojoge, Omileye & Partners, submitted a later, dated July 17, 2020, to the DIG Force CID, to voluntarily withdraw the petition and discontinue the investigation.”

Meanwhile, the ICPC also affirmed that there was no evidence or basis to incriminate the singer regarding any fraudulent activities associated with the N-Power programme.

The clarification from the ICPC, dated November 29, 2023, and identified with document number ICPC/OPS/SDD/SPT.LG/31/23, stated, “The commission investigated issues of fraud in the administration of the N-POWER Scheme, where Mr Daniel Oladapo Oyebanjo’s name came up. However, there was no prima facie case of fraud against him.

“Kindly be advised that Mr Daniel Oladapo Oyebanjo is not under investigation with the Commission for any fraud-related offence,” the ICPC clearance partly read.
