For a reported $26M, breaking the MLS transfer record. He was in the crowd at the Leagues Cup match last night.

This season's battle for the top spot, between Liverpool and Arsenal, will be epic. I'm sure Man City and Chelsea will have something to say about it in the end...
This transfer happened on my grandson's birthday so I somehow missed it until I saw it yesterday on ESPN (I was looking at another story).

This year is going to be brutal.
But that was my point, above: Liverpool's spending has them well within PSR because of previous windows' spending (mostly, a lack thereof). Winning the league (remember, every league position helps) and playing in Europe helps. As does the new kit deal they signed with Adidas. And the expected...
But all the talk this week, from what I've read, has been about the "intertwined" fates of Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike. First Liverpool were offering a massive amount (somewhere between £130m and £140m). Then Newcastle were supposedly set to be in for Ekitike to partner (replace?) Isak at...
