Martin Tyler Say Why Reds Are The Second Best Team In The Premier League

The transfer business of Liverpool this summer has made them the closest challengers to Manchester City for the title of the Premier League in this season. This is the verdict of Martin Tyler the legendary commentator of Sky Sports. In this transfer window, the Liverpool has spent more than £175m on new recruitments.

For the title, the bookies are having them as their second favorite; the City is the first choice as they have finished 19 points clear at the top of the last term. Tyler says the competitors for the top spots are “works in progress”, and this includes Chelsea and Arsenal, who have got new managers. So, he thinks the Liverpool is in a great position and this is the best time for them to end their wait of 28-year for the league title.

In an interview, Tyler said “This is the team that can beat, and this is for sure. At the present time, the Liverpool is in the best shape you may think to challenge the team after their excellent transfer dealings. “In the last season, the way Liverpool handled the matches opposite Manchester City, certainly the first one didn’t go so well at the time when Mane got sent off, but later on they did really well, it was better than anybody else.

This was once again a heavy defeat for the gunners in a visit to a big team. Over the years, Arsenal have suffered some heavy defeat like conceding six against Chelsea and eight against Manchester United.

Arsenal have been surrounded by confusion with regard to the availability of top players, as Alexis Sanchez continues to be keen on a move away from the club.

Alexis Sanchez may be joined by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is also out of contract at the end of the season. Mesut Ozil also has just 12 months left on his contract, and these are some of the several top players who are uncertain about their futures. Petr Cech made the £ 10 million switch to Arsenal a few years ago in order to remain in London, but he is now extremely dissatisfied with the club’s repeated failures against the top clubs.

ANFIELD NOT HAPPY THAT VAN DIJK DEAL FELL THROUGH

The management at Liverpool FC are not happy that the move for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk fell through.

The Dutchman had reportedly agreed to a move to Anfield this summer as he preferred the Reds to others.

The Saints all of a sudden reported Liverpool to the Premier League for “tapping up.” This is when clubs approach players and their agent before they agree a deal with the player’s employers. The ideal is to make the discussions private until a deal is struck. The blame has been shifted to the sporting director of Liverpool Michael Edwards for allowing the deal to be publicized before completion – the thing that possibly pissed St Mary off.

Edwards is reportedly not in any problem over the deal but the club is not happy that they lost a decent chance to land the defender. Van Dijk obviously preferred playing under Klopp to moving to Chelsea or Manchester City, or other high profile sides that were interested.
