He obviously wasn’t very good because they pushed back.

Marco Silva has talked up Manchester City, describing them as the best team in England "by a distance", ahead of Fulham's FA Cup clash.

Manchester City's clash with Fulham is expected to be a goalfest, according to one former City defender.

Liverpool and Egypt ace Mohamed Salah “does not impress" him. Aboubakar’s eyebrow raising comments added extra heat to Indomitable Lions’ Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash against Egypt.The hosts overcame a spirited Gambia side 2-0 in the quarter-finals, but seven-time champions Egypt will surely be the toughest challenge of their tournament to date.

Liverpool still have high hopes that they can land Fulham's Fabio Carvalho after seeing a deadline day move for the youngster collapse at the last minute.An £8million fee had been agreed between the two clubs, but the paperwork necessary to finalise the move wasn't completed before the 11pm deadline on Monday - despite Neco Williams' loan move to Craven Cottage successfully going through.Liverpool are understood to still be in talks with Carvalho over a summer move, and are hoping to resolve the matter without the need for a tribunal to determine a fee.But because the midfielder's contract is up in the summer, they now face the prospect of other clubs swooping in to pinch the player, with reported interest from Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and even Chelsea.FA rules dictate that Fulham are entitled to receive compensation if he leaves the club on a free transfer, having developed the 19-year-old for seven years.If he leaves for an overseas club that figure would be £500,000, but will likely be a lot higher if he moves to a Premier League team.As part of the initial agreement struck with Liverpool, Carvalho was to be loaned back to Fulham for the remainder of the season, so little has changed about the player's immediate future.Where will Fabio Carvalho be playing football next season? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...But whether he'll still end up at Anfield next season is another question, especially with the prospect of a tricky tribunal to navigate.There's now time for Fulham to potentially renegotiate terms, and even convince Carvalho to sign an extension, though that remains unlikely at this point.The feeling in both camps is that the England U18 star will be a Liverpool player next season,

Liverpool.Diaz joined the Reds on Sunday in a deal worth around £37million, bringing a near-three year stay in Portugal to an end.The Colombian had starred for Porto this season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions this season to help them cement their place at the top of the Primeira Liga, without losing a game.That form attracted the interest of Jurgen Klopp, who made a successful move for him last week to steal the winger from under the noses of Premier League rivals Tottenham.Porto have replaced Diaz in part with the deadline day signing of Galerno from SC Braga, though Conceicao remains unhappy at the decision to sanction the sale of his star attacker.The Portuguese boss believes that Diaz’s departure will make it far more difficult for his side to achieve their objectives for the season.“In big companies and big clubs, planning is done according to the objectives,” Conceicao told Sport TV.“When there is little or no planning, we have to review the goals and think about the near future.Will Luis Diaz be a success at Liverpool? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section...“I’m demanding and, at the moment, the truth is that it’s more difficult, but it’s part of my job to find solutions.“It’s looking to the future and realising that our goals may become more difficult to achieve.”Conceicao also admitted that he has been placed in a “difficult situation” and hinted at his displeasure that financial reward had been placed ahead of winning trophies.“We’re talking about four important players who have left in recent years, including Luis Díaz, who were among the best players in the league in recent years and had their weight in the team,” he said.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well

The January transfer window slammed shut at 11pm last night for English clubs across the Premier League and EFL.

Former Bolton Wanderers youngster Nat Phillips has joined Championship side Bournemouth on loan from Premier League giants Liverpool.

Premier League offers a degree of leniency when it comes to transfer deadline day.As clubs scrabble on the final day to try and get their deals over the line before 11pm, the league offers a ‘deal sheet’ which allows for more time to get the deal done.If a club has concluded a deal for a player at the last minute they can use this sheet to get additional time to fulfil the remaining documentation.The Premier League’s website says: “For a deadline of 23:00, the deal sheet cannot be used before 21:00 and needs to arrive fully completed before the transfer window closes.“Once the sheet arrives, clubs have got another two hours, or until 01:00, in which to submit the full paperwork.”After the window slams shut, clubs from the Premier League and EFL can only sign players on anMeanwhile, in Scotland, the window will stay open until midnight, so deals can be done after this point.Across the rest of Europe, the January transfer window will close at - in GMT time - at 5pm in Germany, 7pm, in Italy, while it will it's 11pm in Spain and France.Indeed, clubs can submit a ‘deal sheet’ in the final two hours of the window if they feel they are tight on time. The biggest signing of the window so far is Liverpool’s purchase of Luis Diaz from Porto.The winger was also being chased by Tottenham, but the Reds gazumped them in their bid to sign him at the last minute."I'm very happy to sign for Liverpool," the Columbian international said on Sunday following the announcement.Diaz requires a work permit and is unlikely to arrive in Liverpool until the end of next week at the earliest.Which has had the best window?

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is said to have 'threatened to report' Liverpool's recruitment team after he was beaten to an agreement with Porto over a £37.5million transfer.The 25-year-old forward moved to Anfield on a five-year deal earlier this week ahead of Monday's transfer deadline in a huge blow for Antonio Conte and Spurs.Levy is said to have been left furious after being "backdoored" to a transfer for the Colombia winger, who has scored 16 goals from just 28 appearances so far this season.That move leaves Tottenham in a tricky position on the final day of the window, with unsettled boss Conte in desperate need of new talent.The Telegraph reports details of Levy's alleged fury, saying that the Spurs chairman 'threatened to report Liverpool's recruitment team to the club's owners'.However, the flaw in that plan would've been that Fenway owners John W Henry and Mike Gordon were 'delighted' with the way in which the transfer was reached.Jurgen Klopp is said to have identified Diaz as his first-choice recruit back in 2021, with the club saying that would meet Porto chiefs in January to find an agreement.Spurs chief Levy is said to have found out about the Liverpool progress on Thursday, at which point there was 'precious little' he could've done to get his own plans back on track.Will Luis Diaz fire Liverpool to a major trophy this season? Give us your verdict in the comments sectionKlopp told the club website when the deal was confirmed: “I could not be happier that we’ve been able to get this deal done and bring Luis to Liverpool."I have always been a believer in only signing players in January if you would want to sign them in the summer, and that’s very much the case with Luis."He is an outstanding player and
