Liverpool are considering a move for Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, .
The Merseyside club appointed former Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp as their new manager last week and have been linked with a number of the German outfit’s players.
Aubameyang moved to the Signal Iduna Park in the summer of 2013 and has so far racked up one hundred and seven appearances in all competitions, scoring fifty-six goals including fourteen in thirteen games this season.
Prior to his move to Germany, he spent two-and-a-half seasons at Saint Ettienne while during his time at first club Milan, he had loan spells with Dijon, Lille and Monaco.

Eddie Howe does not want to be anywhere but Newcastle as he plots a route to lasting success after delivering Champions League football at the end of his first full season at the helm.
The 45-year-old will spend the summer working with the club’s owners and sporting director Dan Ashworth to bolster a squad already enhanced by spending in excess of £250million for the challenges which lie ahead.
In doing so he will have to make a series of tough decisions, but not about his own situation.
A night that will live long in the memory.

Asked if his long-term future lies at St James’ Park, Howe said: “Very much so, there is no other thought in my mind.
“For as long as I’m wanted, Newcastle is where I w…
Neymar s father has claimed Manchester United offered Barcelona €190 million to sign the Brazil captain in the off-season.
Reports in August claimed the Premier League heavyweights were prepared to meet Neymar s buyout clause, a figure that would make the 23-year-old the most expensive player ever had he opted to leave.
The former Santos forward remained at Barca, though, and has again shone alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez as Luis Enrique s men seek to defend the treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League they won last term.
Neymar s father on Thursday gave an interview to a radio station claiming Louis van Gaal s Red Devils did indeed attempt to prise the Selecao talisman away from Camp Nou.
Man United is the side that offered €1…
Kevin De Bruyne revealed he was carrying an injury throughout the closing stages of Manchester City’s glorious treble triumph.
De Bruyne was not on the field as City capped a stunning season by winning the Champions League on Saturday, having finally succumbed to a long-standing hamstring problem.
The inspirational Belgian playmaker was forced off after 35 minutes of a hard-fought final against Inter Milan in Istanbul, which City went on to win 1-0 with a 68th-minute strike from Rodri.
De Bruyne said: “I give everything for my team and the people in the club know that. I feel proud that I’ve been able to do what I did.
“It’s a shame that it went the way it did for me here, but we go away winning the Champions League so there’s nothing bad towa…
Gearbox Entertainment CEO Randy Pitchford has confirmed a new trailer for Borderlands 4 at The Game Awards 2024 on December 12th at 4:30 PM PST. He previously alluded to the same last week, describing it as “badass af” and “knocking me out,” even though he wasn’t supposed to discuss it.
Details on Borderlands 4 are sketchy, outside of four new playableRussia Lotto Vault Hunters and what could be a new setting. Creative director Graeme Timmins also previously discussed adding more depth to the gameplay without getting “too complicated”, especially regarding the series’ signature Action Skill. Otherwise, there will likely be shooting and loo…
Exiled Schalke midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng will train with AC Milan until the end of 2015, paving the way for the Ghana international to return to the Serie A club permanently.
Following May s 2-0 Bundesliga defeat at Cologne, Boateng and team-mate Sidney Sam were indefinitely suspended by Schalke.
A proposed August switch to Sporting Lisbon broke down due to a disagreement over Boateng s image rights but, having previously expressed his openness to playing for a club he represented between 2010 and 2013, the 28-year-old is back in training with Milan.
He is under contract at Schalke until the end of this season so would be unable to play competitively for Milan before January if coach Sinisa Mihajlovic pursues a formal transfer.
Boateng is expected…
Steve Bruce has left Newcastle United by mutual consent following the club s Saudi Arabian-backed takeover.
Bruce was appointed in July 2019 by Newcastle and celebrated his 1,000th match as a manager with a 3-2 defeat against Tottenham on Sunday.
The Magpies sit in 19th, one point ahead of Norwich City, as Bruce becomes the second Premier League manager to leave his post this season following Xisco Munoz s dismissal by Watford.
Graeme Jones will lead Newcastle on interim basis, starting with Saturday’s trip to Crystal Palace, and will be supported by the coaching team of Steve Agnew, Stephen Clemence, Ben Dawson and Simon Smith.
Newcastle revealed that the process of recruiting a new head coach has started and an appointment will be announced i…
Best odds: 8/13
Bookmaker:
Defending champions Manchester City will welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to the Etihad on Saturday afternoon in the fourth round of this season s Premier League campaign. It will be a fixture reversed from the one that saw City confirm their 2018/19 title at the Amex Stadium on May 12th, one which they won by 1-4.

The Citizens have been as relentless as ever under Pep Guardiola in their wish to claim the title once more. Even in their 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, they utterly dominated the proceedings and were extremely unlucky to see a Gabriel Jesus stoppage-time winner ruled out by VAR for defender Aymeric Laporte s handball in the buildup.
Nonetheless, they will see those two points lost as exactly t…
Time and again the 29-year-old has made the difference when it mattered for Juve, including in matches against his former team, would-be Scudetto challengers Roma and local rivals Torino.
Perhaps his most important intervention came this month in Monte Carlo, where he struck twice to secure a 2-0 lead in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Monaco, dealing a fatal blow to the hopes of Leonardo Jardim s team.
If the goals were classic, opportunistic Higuain finishes, the celebration for the first also embodied the idiosyncrasy of the striker s potency, as he hauled himself gingerly over an adverting board a manoeuvre many others would have taken at a hurdle to celebrate with the travelling fans.
A night earlier, the antithesis of Higuain had ex…
