      The winger only managed seven goals in 25 Bundesliga appearances last season with Thomas Tuchel’s side.
      The Senegal international also landed in hot water following a reported scuffle with team-mate Leroy Sane after April’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League.
      The 31-year-old was then temporarily suspended by the German champions for one game and was also fined.
      All that drama led to some negative headlines from the German media in the last few months and raised questions about the player’s long-term future.

      Every Premier League squad’s value revealed with Arsenal biggest winners and Man Utd’s transfer failures highlighted

      by

      ARSENAL have increased the value of their squad more than any other Premier League club.Mikel Arteta’s side narrowly missed out on the title last season, falling away towards the end of the campaign as Manchester City clinched a fifth crown in six years.

      But it should not go unnoticed how much the Spaniard has improved his Gunners side – who finished fifth in 2021/22.
      And that has been shown through stats provided by Transfermarkt.
      Arsenal’s squad has cost £572million to assemble, with their current market value standing at £915m.
      That is an increase of £343m – £100m more than any other side in the division.

      How each Premier League team’s squad has changed in value
      Liverpool and Man City have also seen their squads improve in value since they purchased their players – by £154m and £150m respectively – with Pep Guardiola the only head coach boasting a set of players valued in excess of £1bn.
      Tottenham can also say they have marginally increased their squad’s worth by £43m.
      But at the other end of the scale come Chelsea and Manchester United.
      Todd Boehly’s £600m cash splash since arriving at Stamford Bridge 12 months ago has done little to improve the squad.

      And it has seen them drop to the bottom of the table when it comes to the value of their players compared to how much they arrived for.
      The West London club have spent £880m on their star-studded roster – more than any other team – with their value standing at £756m.
      That sees them pip Man Utd to the unwanted 20th place with a net loss of £-124m.
      Erik ten Hag’s men also hold a negative value of their squad at £-115m.
      Chelsea and United are two of just four clubs with a negative transfer value – along with Sheffield United and Wolves.
      Meanwhile, the other big winners from the list are Brighton – who hold a £243m squad value increase having developed the likes of Evan Ferguson, Moises Caicedo, Julio Enciso, Pervis Estupinan, Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March.
      Brentford, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have also increased their squad’s value by between £81m and £179m. More

      Liverpool prepared to let out-of-favour defender Nat Phillips leave Anfield to join Leeds – but only on permanent deal

      by

      LEEDS want Liverpool defender Nathaniel Phillips — but a loan request may not work for the Reds.The centre-half, 26, can leave Anfield but they would prefer a sale while the Elland Road outfit are trying their luck for a short-term deal.
      Phillips played just twice for Liverpool last season – and Liverpool want to get rid of him permanentlyCredit: Getty
      Phillips came through the Liverpool academy and began to be involved in Jurgen Klopp’s first team squads in 2018.
      He was loaned out to Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart when Liverpool won the 2019-20 Premier League, however.
      He notably played a key role in their 2020-21 season – which saw Liverpool qualify for the Champions League despite a tough start to the season.
      A defensive injury crisis saw the likes of Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez all unavailable as Liverpool slipped down the table.

      Klopp therefore relied on Phillips as well as Ben Pearson – who they signed from Swansea that January, as they went on to secure a third-placed finish in the Premier League.
      Phillips in particular impressed, but was loaned out to Championship side Bournemouth the following season.
      On his departure Klopp said: “We would have loved to have kept him here, to be honest, with all the things that happened in the last few years here in the centre-half positions.
      “Nat was incredibly reliable and a great figure here at the training ground.”

      But his time at Liverpool is now looking numbered with the defender making just two Premier League appearances last season.
      Phillips has made a total of 29 appearances for Liverpool, scoring once and also assisting once.
      Meanwhile, Liverpool will let Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg head for Jurgen Klopp’s old club Mainz on loan.
      The star, 21, had an unlucky spell in Germany with Schalke last season but it will not stop him going back for a year.  More
