Mbappe sends Reds fans into a frenzy with ‘transfer hint’

PSG sensation Kylian Mbappe has set hearts racing among Liverpool fans after he followed a series of current and former Reds players on Instagram, before uploading a story with the word ‘soon’ on it.

It follows a week which has seen Paul Joyce retweet the French forward (something the journalist rarely does unless a tweet is significant), while he also met with LeBron James in the USA. The basketball star is a Reds shareholder and fan.

There is no solid suggestion that Mbappe will be signing for the Reds – but it’s been enough to send Reds fans crazy in hope more than expectation.

The players he followed include current stars like Fabinho and Mo Salah, Reds legend Steven Gerrard and rumoured targets Memphis Depay and Nabil Fekir.

The Instagram activity is hardly unusual – the likes of Salah and Gerrard, who Mbappe has started following, are worldwide icons. His story with the word ‘soon’ could well refer to anything, with no reason to think it regards a transfer.

We’d love it, of course, if Mbappe is hinting at a move – and we do know that Jurgen Klopp is a huge fan of him – but the transfer fee and wages that it would take to get the deal over the line make it highly unlikely.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
