Liverpool’s Tsimikas Heads to Rome for New Adventures…
Liverpool’s Greek stallion, Kostas Tsimikas, has galloped over to AS Roma on a season-long loan. Falling behind the pecking order at Anfield faster than my pet goldfish swam away from responsibilities, Tsimikas will grace Italy with his left-back prowess instead of sticking around where he might have collected more dust than minutes. With the arrival of Milos Kerkez and Andy Robertson flaunting his vice-captain badge with the flair of a peacock in a feather shop, the loan makes a lot of sense.
Since arriving at Liverpool from Olympiacos for $15 million, Tsimikas has become a crucial player, contributing to a total of 115 appearances. But with more arrivals than my aunt’s overflowing Christmas stocking, a move to the historic city of Rome couldn’t be resisted. While coach Arne Slot cracked jokes about flight schedules as transfers were brewing, it’s clear that Tsimikas is ready to trade the Liverpool drizzle for some Roman sunshine, ready to tackle Serie A like a gladiator in flip-flops.
