Liverpool’s investment admission as Tottenham receive huge boost

Liverpool continued their superb start to the new season on Wednesday night as they defeated Championship high flyers Leicester City in the Carabao Cup. The Reds have been near-perfect in the Premier League, keeping the pressure on Manchester City at the top, and their start to the campaign has been very different from that of last season.

That will provide plenty of relief to Jurgen Klopp, who will want to see his men continue their good form this weekend against another side who have started well in Tottenham. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Anfield.

Henry on investment

Liverpool owner John W Henry has explained the move to secure outside investment, selling a minority share to Dynasty Equity.

“Our efforts every day have been and continue to be focused on the long-term health and competitiveness of the club,” he told the Liverpool Echo. “Investment in the club is never for the short term. This approach has been successful over the long haul with patience necessary from time to time. We’ve seen many football clubs go down unsustainable paths. We have and will continue to focus our attention on investing wisely in the transfer market and we remain incredibly proud of our squad.

“At the same time we continue investing in our training facilities, our main stand and currently the Anfield Road stand. These are all physical reflections of our resolve and how very seriously Fenway Sports Group takes its responsibilities for this great club. In regard to Liverpool Football Club, our commitment remains stronger than ever.”

Tottenham boost

Tottenham are set for a fitness boost ahead of their clash with Liverpool this weekend. Maddison picked up an injury during Tottenham’s away draw with Arsenal and was a doubt to face the Reds this weekend, but football.london have reported some good news as far as Spurs are concerned.

It’s claimed Maddison has been training on the grass and that he is working to be fit for this weekend. Maddison provided the assists to both Tottenham goals last weekend and goes into this weekend in good form.
