Liverpool don’t look to be giving up on their efforts to sign Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr, with journalist Khadim Diakhate giving the latest on the situation. The Senegalese has been linked with the Reds in recent days, but former scout Mick Brown poured cold water on the rumour, saying he expects Palace to keep him this summer: “Sarr has been crucial for Crystal Palace over the last couple of seasons.

That’s often easier said than done, but they already sold [Maxence] Lacroix earlier this summer, and they won’t want to let another one go.” But now, Diakhate has taken to X to report that Liverpool are planning an improved offer for Sarr before the end of deadline day – one that could be as much as £68.4m: “Ismaila Sarr: Liverpool steps up for the Senegalese star!

He has speed and he is capable of keeping going and repeating his efforts. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
