Iago Aspas sends Liverpool warning as Erling Haaland hospital visit surfaces

With the international break now in full flow, it's time for your Liverpool FC morning headlines on Friday, March 24.

Iago Aspas urges Celta Vigo team-mate to avoid Liverpool transfer

Celta Vigo's Iago Aspas has urged Gabri Veiga to ignore interest from the Premier League in the summer to remain with the Spanish club.

Liverpool are reportedly joined by league leaders Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle in their pursuit of the talented 20-year-old. Aspas is no stranger to life in the Premier League after he made the move to Anfield in 2013 when he was 25-years-old and he made just 14 appearances.

Jurgen Klopp’s side make the trip to the Etihad next Saturday to take on City as the Premier League returns following the international break. Pep Guardiola's side are second in the table, eight points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand.

However, City could be without the forward for the big game. Haaland picked up a groin problem after scoring a hat-trick in City's 6-0 thrashing of Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-final last weekend.

Despite initially linking up with the Norway national team, the 22-year-old left his side’s training camp in Marbella on Tuesday and travelled to Barcelona, where he was assessed by Ramon Cugat. Haaland has since returned to Marbella, where he owns a house, but his father has cast doubt on him being back in time to face the Reds following a hospital visit.
