"It's probably unlikely you're gonna get him out because it it looks like Tonali might go and Gordon might go, but if Newcastle do have to sell and you can pinch him, even if you have to pay a bit more for him, he's still a young man, he's got the Premier League experience, and I think he's been one of Newcastle's shining lights this season.“There's a lot of great left backs out there not worth mentioning because I don't think you'd tear them away from PSG Bayern Munich, and they're at some of the biggest clubs in the world, and you'd like to be able to grab them and take them, but I'm not sure.”6th May17:13 BSTMichael Owen suggests Mohamed Salah replacementMichael Owen has urged Liverpool to replace Mohamed Salah with West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen and admitted: "I think he is brilliant", reports Kieran King.The Reds are in the market for a new right winger with Salah set to leave the club at the end of the season.

They don't need to bring six or seven players in, because it's more change, but there's three."Replace Mo Salah with a right winger, a right-back and a central midfielder then the players you bought last summer, like Ekitike, Isak, Wirtz, become better players."Mohamed Salah has confirmed his exit(Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images)6th May09:45 BSTMarcos Senesi 'verbal agreement'talkSPORT reports that the Bournemouth defender has already 'verbally agreed' to join Tottenham in the summer once his contract expires, despite interest from Liverpool.However, any move to Spurs is dependent on the club avoiding relegation, and Liverpool are understood to be weighing up whether to make a rival offer for the Argentinian.It's also worth noting that Senesi was originally brought to Bournemouth by Richard Hughes, now Liverpool's sporting director.Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi could join as a free agent(Image: Robin Jones - AFC Bournemouth/AFC Bournemouth via Getty Images)6th May09:34 BSTAdam Wharton latestMarca reports that Liverpool have 'maintained advanced contacts' for the Crystal Palace midfielder.Palace are understood to be unwilling to entertain any offers below €80m, according to Spanish outlet AS Diario.Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid also tracking the England international.Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.(Image: Jacques Feeney/Offside via Getty Images)
