Collymore’s column: Liverpool should maximise Mo Salah opportunity, surely Saudi won’t want Mason Greenwood and why Ivan Toney’s teammate is my favourite Premier League player
In his exclusive column for CaughtOffside, former Liverpool attacker Stan Collymore discusses some of football’s biggest talking points, including Mo Salah’s links to Al-Ittihad, where Mason Greenwood could play next, rumours Ivan Toney could leave Brentford, plus much more.
