      A stunning 6-1 victory over Tottenham on Sunday moved the Magpies up to third place in the Premier League table.

      The Merseysiders have turned their attention on the midfielder after dropping out of the transfer bid for Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
      Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is prioritising a signing to boost his midfield amid a turbulent campaign.
      And the England international is keen on moving to Anfield to reboot his Premier League career after a rough stint at the Etihad.
      The 27-year-old joined City last summer following a £50m deal with Leeds.

      However, Phillips underwent a shoulder operation in September which ruled him out until mid-season, when the 2022 World Cup kicked off.
      The talented No6 still earned an international call-up by Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate and played twice in Qatar.
      But Phillips still ended up being frozen out from City following a break in New York with friends.
      Manager Pep Guardiola wasn’t satisfied with the player’s fitness levels upon his return.

      Guardiola even criticised him publicly claiming he returned overweight from the World Cup.
      The Spanish tactician then decided to banish him from training because he was out of shape.
      Phillips has only managed to start in two games across all competitions but has never featured in Guardiola’s starting line-up in the Premier League this season.
      The ex-Leeds star has only registered a mere 16 appearances with City so far this term. More

      by

      On the talks, Klopp told reporters: “I am not involved in the ‘talks’ but maybe in the talks around, yes.
      “I am not the person in the club who can give (a) real answer about where it stands. That’s in the hands of other people. What I heard is it’s all going in the right direction.”
      Julian Ward, who is the current incumbent of the position, will be stepping down from the role at the end of the season.
      Ward himself only took the role 12 months ago after Michael Edwards left following a 10-year stay at the club.

      Klopp continued: “How many clubs are there out there without a sporting director now?
      “Is there any club without a sporting director or a guy in the role of the sporting director? [Manchester] City, Arsenal, no. [Manchester] United, they have a sporting director?
      “Pretty much everybody has a sporting director. That’s because it makes sense. With the decisions, how the manager is involved with decision-making, that is not a thing.
      “But the process. If a manager has to do that, I don’t know how the guys did that in the past!

      “Around that, talking to all the agents and all these kind of things. And constantly talking about a pound here and a pound there. You need people for that, there is no chance.
      “And that’s why, yes, I’m happy with the structure. The guy or lady we get will be absolutely right. But nothing to say in the moment.”
      Liverpool are set for a massive summer where it will be imperative for them to bring in the right players to return to fighting for the Premier League title, rather than scrapping away in a top-four chase.
      And this is set to see the Reds prioritise midfielders despite pulling out of the race to sign £130million-rated Jude Bellingham.
      This came as they reportedly chose to focus their resources across multiple targets rather than splashing it all on one player. More

      He departed North London to join Valencia where he has begun to impress for the Spanish outfit on a regular basis.
      Born in New York, Musah played for England at every age group level up to U18.
      He then declared for USA in 2020 and has won 25 caps for the Stars and Stripes.
      Musah was also one of USA’s best-performers at the World Cup as they drew with Wales and England and beat Iran before being eliminated by Holland in the second round.

      Now a host of clubs are plotting a transfer swoop for the midfielder this summer, with the Gunners among the frontrunners to snap him up.
      Valencia knew interest was mounting in their star and attempted to tie him down to a new long-term deal, but no agreement has yet been reached.
      90min are now reporting that Musah “is ready to move on from Valencia” and Arsenal have already been in “contact with the player’s representatives”.

      However, Musah also appears to have plenty of options from abroad.
      Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg all could swoop to try and persuade him to head to Germany.
      But Atletico Madrid are also allegedly interested in trying to get him to stay in LaLiga.
      Musah is under contract until 2026, and it remains to be seen what asking price relegation-threatened Valencia place on his head, although he does have a release clause in his deal of £89m. More

      However, the playmaker’s contract runs out next year and talks of an extension have hit a snag, which means his future appears uncertain while some of Europe’s biggest hitters are circling in.
      According to The Mail, the England international will command a staggering asking price of £80million.
      The 24-year-old has attracted interest from Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Newcastle and Liverpool amid his ongoing struggles which have seen him tumble down the pecking order.
      The Magpies seem the most likely to meet Mount’s fee thanks to their wealthy Saudi owners.

      However, the Toon are determined not to shatter their wage structure even if they qualify for next season’s Champions League.
      Bruno Guimaraes is among Newcastle’s highest earners with a weekly wage of £120,000, while Mount makes at least £250,000 per week at Stamford Bridge.
      Liverpool are also unlikely to splash the cash after pulling out of the transfer war over Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
      Many fans want Mount to stay after becoming a key player in the last four years, insisting other underachievers should depart from Chelsea’s inflated squad instead.

      However, many would be happy for owner Todd Boehly to sell up and raise much-needed funds after his unsuccessful £600m spending spree since taking over.

      Another posted: “We can sell Mount and a couple of guys.”

      The midfielder was targeted by the Reds but manager Jurgen Klopp decided to pull the plug after Dortmund kept raising his staggering release clause, which reached a whopping £130million.
      The Merseysiders have since been linked with Gravenberch, who continues to struggle for minutes at Bayern under Thomas Tuchel just like he did during Julian Nagelsmann’s tenure.
      However, Van der Vaart, who is known for his strong opinions in the Netherlands, is adamant that his fellow Dutchman would be a much smarter deal than Bellingham for Liverpool.
      The ex-Tottenham star believes the 20-year-old would pay dividends in the Premier League because he is more physical than the Dortmund star.

      Van der Vaart said: “Do you know what the most important thing is when you go to a new club? The first two weeks.
      “You have to show in every training, every practice game that you are a rightful purchase.
      “For Gravenberch, it would actually be good to rent him out to Ajax again.
