Roberto Martínez gives Jürgen Klopp transfer clue as one 'target ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool should have been keeping a close eye on the international break, with Roberto Martínez and Portugal giving Jürgen Klopp a potential transfer hint.

That's because a player who has been sat on the bench in each of Portugal's last two matches is Matheus Nunes, another who is tipped for a move to Anfield this summer, per the [ECHO](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-matheus-nunes-january-transfer-25882774). Despite his age, he's only accumulated a career total of 14,056 minutes in league competitions, which isn't very much — effectively the reverse of Fabinho. As a consequence of the attacking options that Martínez has, he's been eager to add balance to his team, with João Palhinha initially proving to be central to his tactical blueprint. Palhinha is intense, industrious and possesses a notable physical presence in the middle of the park, standing around 1.9m tall. Martínez is the new man in charge and luckily for him, he's got a wealth of talent at his disposal, particularly in more offensive areas. Over the past fortnight, Roberto Martínez has been getting to grips with his new group of players.

Liverpool decision left even Jurgen Klopp surprised after club took ... (Liverpool Echo)

Roberto Firmino has 12 games left as a Liverpool player before he walks away as a modern-day great.

With a new frontline taking shape with the signings of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and most recently Cody Gakpo since January 2022, Firmino has decided that a fresh challenge is for him. And with Champions League football on the line for Klopp's side, you wouldn't bet against one final major contribution to the cause. But as a human being as well, he's a great guy and I wish him obviously all the best after the summer." [Virgil van Dijk added](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/virgil-vandijk-liverpool-roberto-firmino-26396686): "I think that position of a false 9 is Bobby Firmino's. He always has a smile on his face no matter the situation and for me he's been a big help, trying to learn things off him and he's one of a kind. In total, he has registered 108 times for the Reds and sits 17th in the list of all-time scorers. The Brazilian would score against both to secure a historic trophy that continues to be curiously treated with indifference in England. There won't be a dry eye in the house at full time against Aston Villa on May 20 when he turns out for his final Anfield appearance and a modern-day great will aim to sign off in style. Winning goals away from Anfield for the striker were worth 15 points alone that season as they ended a three-decade wait for No.19. Another was his versatility given he was viewed as someone who could both lead the line and operate as an attacking midfielder effectively.

There were some, however, who were uneasy at the eventual £29m deal that was struck with Hoffenheim.

With some of the moves that they have made and more on the horizon with the NFL Draft, as long as Tagovailoa is healthy and under center, the team is capable of making some noise in the AFC. For an event where Reigns and The Usos are expected to finally fall, Orton being a part of that would make a lot of sense. And as they did with Cody Rhodes last year, a new star making their name at the expense of Rollins to set up a new long-term feud is very possible.

In early March, the Ravens put on Jackson a non-exclusive franchise tag, giving him the ability to negotiate with other teams as well as the Ravens on a contract extension. The team has no QB on the roster who could fill in for Jackson if his request for a trade is honored. Sunday night belonged to Clark, the front-runner for the National Player of the Year.

He has cemented himself as the top guy for the Steelers and a rather shocking selection of a tight end is not going to change that. The name of the game in the NFL of late seems to be surrounding young, promising quarterbacks with a plethora of talent. The deal contained $42M in deferred payments, so Davis is making over nine million each of the next two seasons, before the deferrals drop to $3.5M annually for the next seven years. The former executive revealed that the Vikings are one of the teams that are in on Jerry Jeudy of the Denver Broncos. It is anyone's guess as to when they will be selected and if the Steelers' behind-the-scenes plans are to draft a tight end at some point, the front office could wait and hope one of these three ends up falling into their lap at No. Connor Heyward stepped up later in the year in 2022 and is likely to have more involvement in 2023, but he may not be the perfect guy to be second on the depth chart due to his contributions on special teams and potential fullback role in his second year. Jeudy is coming off of a career season in 2022 as one of the lone bright spots in what was an ugly season for the offense. Considering the fact that he's an Arkansas native and was highly considering the Razorbacks in the past, one has to wonder if destined to head back down to Fayetteville. With that in mind, it was great news for the Oregon Ducks when he committed over the likes of Texas, Arkansas and Ole Miss. It was reported just days ago by NFL insider Adam Schefter that the Packers were looking to get a first-round choice “and more.” If the Pack feel as if they’re settling for a pair of second-rounders, they may be less likely to guarantee a pick back to the Jets. With the Jets preparing to take on Rodgers and his albatross of a contract, Jets general manager Joe Douglas is hoping to minimize the impact of Rodgers likely walking away after one season by asking for a pick in return if Rodgers should bail after this season. “Mason is 21, he has been cleared and should be allowed the opportunity to rebuild and move forward with his young life.” Of course, the entire situation is just as much a moral question as one of footballing ability.

It’s hard to look past the United starting trio though, even if the competition for places is fiercer than it has ever been. All three players scored twice, making it the first Liverpool game for over 15 years in which a trio bagged braces. Even allowing for some injury problems, that’s a remarkable drought for a player who has still scored more frequently for the Reds than However, [Liverpool](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) have rarely performed well when Klopp has done this.

Three Liverpool players deserve Hall of Fame status as Premier ... (Liverpool.com)

The Premier League is set to add to its Hall of Fame, and three Liverpool players deserve to be in the conversation to join the likes of Steven Gerrard.

And the Hall of Fame cannot simply be a procession of players to have played in the very best teams. Sitting in the all-time top 10 for goals in the Premier League, Fowler is massively under-appreciated by the newest generation of fans. He would keep the team at this figure or below five more times, including as a mainstay in the 2005/06 side that conceded just 25 times. Even [James Milner](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-transfer-barcelona-milner-city-26548940), now just two appearances away from overtaking Hall of Fame resident Frank Lampard to become the Premier League’s third-highest appearance-maker of all time, could easily have been in with a shout, having also won the league with Manchester City. Perhaps it can be third time lucky for the man simply nicknamed ‘God’, who has appeared on the shortlist in both 2021 and 2022. However, he was involved in numerous thrilling title races, consistently competing at the top end of the Premier League over a career spanning three different decades. With over 300 appearances, he is certainly eligible. For it to have any real meaning, it must recognize individuals who have given outstanding service. The 15-man shortlist to be voted on will be unveiled on Thursday. And no Liverpool fan needs reminding that he does not have a Premier League title to his name. Nor will his domestic trophies count in his favor. [Mohamed Salah](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-messi-salah-times-square-26559291), who would otherwise surely be in the conversation.
