Big Brother Naija Lockdown housemates, Erica and Laycon were caught on camera last night hugging passionately and sharing kisses.
This happened just a few hours after Kiddwaya and Erica, long term partners in the house, broke up.Laycon was heard telling Erica, “I’m sorry.”When she asked why he was sorry, he replied, “I don’t know but I’m sorry,” as they continued holding each other tightly.
Laycon had always expressed his love for Erica and sees himself as the best man for her. People thought he had given up what was seen as a wild goose chase before now, but it seems hopes have returned following yesterday’s development.
Recall that Erica had recently berated Laycon for gossiping about her with the others. This was after Laycon was pained by Erica’s rejection as the Abia-born female housemate picked Kiddwaya over him.Erica had once made it clear that while she is mentally attracted to Laycon, she is physically attracted to her lover, Kiddwaya.
Klopp’s Messi warning as City close in on $2.5M-a-week deal
Jurgen Klopp warned Liverpool’s chances of retaining the title will take a serious hit if Manchester City land Lionel Messi.
City are close to agreeing terms of £1.4 million ($2.54m AUD) a week with the Barcelona superstar — made up of salary, signing-on fee, bonuses and image rights.There is still some way to go to prise him from the Nou Camp.
But Reds boss Klopp said: “Messi would clearly help Manchester City and make it even more difficult to beat them, which was already very difficult.”
Klopp, whose champions face FA Cup winners Arsenal in the Community Shield today, is not convinced City will pull off the mega deal.
He added: “For the Premier League, it would be great to have the best player in the world in the League.
“I am not sure the Premier League needs a boost but it would be, for sure.
“It would be interesting to see, as Messi has never played in another league other than Spain.
“Football is different here. I would like to see it but I am not sure I will.”
Klopp admitted there is no chance Liverpool could sign the Argentine maestro, 33.
He said: “Interest? Who doesn’t want to have Messi in their team? But no chance.
“The numbers are absolutely not for us, so we don’t even have to start thinking about it!“It is clear, there is no chance. But he’s a good player, to be honest!”
Sunsport understands lawyers representing both City and Messi’s representatives have made substantial progress on a deal which will satisfy the player’s financial demands.
The record six-time Ballon d’Or winner, would be contracted to the club’s parent company — City Football Group — and have a clause which will allow him to join fellow stable club, New York City, after leaving the Etihad.
Boss Pep Guardiola has a similar clause with regard to joining the MLS side when he leaves City.
Messi’s representatives were in touch with Barcelona yesterday to request a formal meeting next week to discuss how he can leave the Catalan giants.
He is determined to win the Champions League for a third time before he leaves European football and sees City as a good option.
Obstacles remain regarding the clause in Messi’s contract, which the player claims allows him to leave for free.
The fax which informed Barca of his transfer request was a bureau document which is a legal requirement meaning it can be used in any future court proceedings.
City are prepared to foot Messi’s legal bills in his bid to force his way out, but are also preparing for the possibility of negotiating with Barca.
That gesture has been received warmly by Messi and his father and agent, Jorge, who felt let down when Barca offered no support during the player’s trial for tax avoidance.
Messi intends to turn up for training on Monday in accordance with employment law but expects an update from the club on their position beforehand.
Arsenal vs Liverpool: Community Shield sees start of Premier League champions' pursuit of more silverware
Some fans will still be celebrating, but just 37 days after Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy they will match-up with Arsenal in the Community Shield at Wembley on Saturday afternoon, kicking off a new season and a new pursuit of silverware.
It is a quicker-than-usual turnaround for the Premier League champions, with a condensed off-season set to be followed by a condensed, busy campaign. "The most intense, probably, we ever experience in our lives," predicted Jurgen Klopp.
Typically, captain Jordan Henderson has spoken this week about moving on from the triumphs of 2019/20 and focusing on what can be achieved in the future. But, with just a couple of weeks of training and a couple of friendlies under their belt, there is no doubt Liverpool will go into Saturday's showpiece with their preparations far from complete.
"I would be very surprised if this will be the best game we play this season," Klopp said with a smile in his pre-match press conference. "But we should be ready to fight for a result because the opponent has a similar situation."
Indeed, that limited preparation may be enough to see them past an Arsenal side also feeling their way back to full fitness - although, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up front following his back-to-back doubles at Wembley at the end of last season, the Gunners - who beat Liverpool after the restart in July - will provide a stern test.
More importantly, Klopp and Liverpool supporters will hope to see signs the Reds are not too far off where they need to be come their opening Premier League fixture with Leeds United in a fortnight's time.
With international fixtures to take place between now and then, Klopp's training-ground time with his players really is at a premium prior to the start of their title defence.
Beneficially, Liverpool have made few changes to the squad which dominated the league last time out. Kostas Tsimikas may make his first competitive Liverpool appearance at left-back and Rhian Brewster, who has scored three goals in their two friendlies, may be handed a start. But Klopp's squad know the demands and know what is expected of them in this side.
Ultimately, success or defeat in the Community Shield has mattered little in terms of what comes next in the Premier League. Just eight Community Shield winners out of 28 have gone on to claim the title. And with an extra week before the Premier League gets under way on September 12 separating the start of the season and Saturday's showpiece, there will still be time to refresh and refine before Liverpool begin the defence of their crown.
But this Liverpool side have become used to winning. They feed off it, and last season they did it most times they stepped onto a pitch. Henderson will want another trophy lift and victory would help set the tone for what's to come.
If Liverpool are off the pace, Manchester City and the other Premier League hopefuls will be there to capitalise on any early slip-up. But Liverpool will be keen to remind them just why they are the ones to catch.
