We’ve got all the Liverpool reaction from beating West Ham as well as news building up to Leicester in the League Cup.

Long-term contract for Tsimikas

Kostas Tsimikas has signed a new long-term deal to extend his contract with Liverpool.

The deal is rumoured to last until 2027, adding another two years onto his current contract.

The Greek international told Liverpool FC’s official website: “This keeps me fully motivated for the rest. As I’ve said in many, many interviews, this team has many, many things to achieve all together and I wanted to be from the first minute a part of it.”

A new contract for Tsimikas is a somewhat surprising development considering Liverpool’s needs and system changes, but, at the very least, it protects his value moving forward.

Salah’s got in to Harvard… kind of

Well, not quite. Thankfully, the prestigious American university haven’t come in with a bid for Mohamed Salah.

What their business school will be doing, though, is using his agent’s contract negotiations in a case study.

The study will be around Salah and his agent, Ramy Abbas Issa’s, decision to hold out for more money, despite the winger being almost 30 years old at the time.

We’re not sure what the academics say, but as long he stays at Liverpool, Mo is getting an A* from me!
