Aaron Wan-Bissaka admits fearing for his future at Man Utd after losing his place under Erik ten Hag.

Liverpool have agreed a British record transfer fee in the region of £110million for Moises Caicedo as Jurgen Klopp attempts to reinforce his midfield on the eve of the new Premier League season. The PA news agency understands Liverpool have swooped in and had a substantial offer accepted for the 21-year-old Ecuador international, who was attracting significant interest from Chelsea this summer. Brighton held firm on their valuation of a player who joined them for just £4m from Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle in 2021, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will match Liverpool’s bid. The fee is upwards of the previous British record of £107m that Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez in January and dwarfs Liverpool’s own highest transfer payment of £75m for Virgil van Dijk in 2018. Klopp has seen Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Naby Keita and James Milner depart the club this summer but Liverpool have signed Caicedo’s former Brighton team-mate Alexis Mac Allister for £35m in June. The Reds have also brought in Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig but, after missing out on Jude Bellingham – who joined Real Madrid in June in a deal that could rise to £115m with add-ons – Klopp is keen to get the Caicedo transfer over the line. Ahead of Sunday’s trip to Chelsea for both sides’ Premier League opener, Klopp said: “I can confirm the deal with (Brighton) is agreed, whatever that means because we want the player and not any kind of agreement, we will see. “We are club that doesn’t have endless resources, we didn’t expect a couple of things happening in the summer, like Henderson and Fabinho (leaving), stuff like this. “We didn’t think about that before the summer, to be honest, and then it happened. We gave (attempting to sign Bellingham) a go and the club was really stretched. We will see (what happens with Caicedo).” As for whether Caicedo will undergo a medical in Merseyside on Friday or if signing the youngster would be Liverpool’s final business of the summer window, Klopp was tight-lipped. “I’ve said what I know,” he added. “Let’s do it step by step, let’s see what happens in the next hours or days.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Talking points as England host Wales in World Cup warm-up Best is yet to come – Mary Earps sure England will improve for Colombia clash Liverpool set to break British transfer record with £110m Moises Caicedo deal

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has admitted he cannot just “slap money on the table” as he attempts to find the last piece of his jigsaw for the new season. The Magpies, backed by their majority owners, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, have invested a net £95milion in Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento at the expense of the departed Allan Saint-Maximin this summer but Howe is keen to add one more player to his resources, with central defence a remaining focus. However, the 45-year-old knows the club may have to be “creative” to get another deal over the line in an attempt to plot a path through Financial Fair Play regulations, with loans and staggered payments among the options. Asked what that meant on the eve of the new Premier League season’s opener against Aston Villa, Howe said: “It means we can’t just go out and slap money on the table and buy a player. We don’t have the resources to do that at the moment with FFP restrictions. “It’s about trying to find a different way rather than paying money in the here and now.” Newcastle have strengthened their squad significantly after last season’s top-four finish, which secured a return to Champions League football, but Howe is hopeful there is another deal to be done. He said: “I’d love one more player, that’s what I’d love personally, and I think then we’d have the ideal depth at this moment with the injuries that we currently have.” I have said my ultimate emotion that I use is fear of failure. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe The Magpies’ surge back into the upper reaches of the league table came less than two years into the new ownership’s reign and took many by surprise, despite the £250million spending spree which helped to fuel it. They were able to take advantage of below-par showings from the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea, and are likely to face a tougher challenge this time around with TV pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher predicting they will not even make the top six this season. Asked if that provided added motivation, Howe brushed that aside and said: “Ultimately people will always write us off, and I urge us all to come together and to fight tooth and nail to prove people wrong – and in my job you have to prove people wrong every single day. “I have said my ultimate emotion that I use is fear of failure. Some people might see that as negative, but it’s fuelled me all my career and to work as hard as I can to make sure we don’t suffer that experience.” Howe could hand Tonali, Barnes and Livramento competitive debuts against Villa, while defender Fabian Schar is back in contention after a thigh injury. However, midfielder Joe Willock is likely to be missing until the middle of next month with the hamstring problem he suffered last season. Howe said: “I think we’ll probably miss him for the first group of games before the first international break.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Moises Caicedo record £110m fee is agreed for Liverpool switch – Jurgen Klopp Talking points as England host Wales in World Cup warm-up Best is yet to come – Mary Earps sure England will improve for Colombia clash

A Jurgen Klopp quote from 2016 has resurfaced after Liverpool signed Brighton's Moises Caicedo for a whopping £110m. Liverpool broke the British transfer record to secure the deal, making him the sixth most expensive player in history. Football fans have been sharing the quotes, which came about after Manchester United spent £100m on Paul Pogba. Back then, Klopp criticised the fee and said that spending such sums was a bad sign for the future of the game. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Klopp said at the time: “If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney. “The day that this is football, I'm not in a job anymore, because the game is about playing together. “That is how everybody in football understands it. You always want to have the best, but building the group is necessary to be successful. “Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players. I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money. “I don't know exactly how much money we could spend because nobody has told me, 'No, you can't do this.' “If I spend money, it is because I am trying to build a team, a real team. Barcelona did it. You can win championships, you can win titles, but there is a manner in which you want it.” Klopp was asked about the comments in his most recent press conference, and he responded: "Everything changes. Do I like it? No But did I realise I was wrong? Definitely. It is not great but it is the way it goes. The manager went on to say: “I can confirm the deal that the club has agreed, I don’t know what it means exactly, the player and agreement we will see. “What changes is we have not endless resources, we didn’t expect a couple of things happening, Hendo, Fab and then it happened and we give it a go and the club was really stretched. We will see in the end.” Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.
