'Criticised for what?' - Maresca defends Anfield celebrations

Manager Enzo Maresca reacts to criticism of Manchester City's celebrations after their win at Liverpool by saying: "What do you want us to do?"

'Criticised for what?' - Maresca defends Anfield celebrations

Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey has urged the club to consider signing Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo, praising the 26-year-old Ghana international for his potential to make an impact at Anfield. Heskey believes Liverpool could revisit their interest in Semenyo if the club faces financial uncertainty and is forced to sell players.

The 26-year-old has demonstrated his attacking prowess with his pace, physical strength, and direct running, making him a valuable addition to a Liverpool side aiming for major honors. Heskey tells TEAMtalk that Semenyo is "a very explosive attacking player who’s got an eye for goal," adding that he can both create chances and score himself.

Liverpool have shown interest in Semenyo before, when he joined Manchester City from Liverpool in January. Semenyo's versatility as a forward, his ability to beat defenders, and his goal-scoring potential could provide Liverpool with another attacking option. However, any transfer would hinge on Manchester City's willingness to sell and Liverpool's decision to pursue the forward.

Semenyo is set to feature for Manchester City against defending Champions League winners PSG on Wednesday.
