After Saturday’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, Liverpool took over first place in the Premier League. 

At Selhurst Park, the home team took the lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta’s penalty conversion, but the Reds were quickly level thanks to Mohamed Salah’s 200th goal for Liverpool.

Roy Hodgson, manager of Palace, was left disappointed as substitute Harvey Elliott scored an injury-time goal to give Jurgen Klopp’s team the victory.

With the victory, Liverpool regained first place in the Premier League, but Arsenal were unable to reclaim the top spot after losing to Aston Villa 1-0 later in the day on Saturday.

Liverpool are reportedly in the running to acquire the services of a highly sought-after player in the Premier League.

The Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha is reportedly a transfer target for Manchester United and Liverpool.

The Red Devils and the Reds have reportedly joined Arsenal and other competitors in the pursuit of the Portugal international, according to the article.

Palhinha, 28, has become one of the top midfielders in the Premier League after joining the Cottagers from Sporting CP of Portugal last summer.

The 54-game goal-scoring career of the Portuguese international came close to leaving Craven Cottage this summer as he was courted by German champions Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga champions are reportedly still interested in signing the player, but he would want to remain in the Premier League, which could hurt Bayern’s chances of signing him.

According to the report, Fulham will attempt to get a fee around £60 million for Palhinha, despite only paying £18 million to acquire him last summer.

Although his current contract is scheduled to end in the summer of 2028, it seems quite probable that he will leave West London before then.
