About this episode

Simon Hughes & James Pearce join Tony Evans for the latest episode of Walk On as Liverpool prepare to kick off the new Premier League season away at Newcastle.


The panel discusses the latest twist in Liverpool’s ownership story, with the consortium including Jeff Bezos now revealed to hold around 38% of the club — significantly more than initially reported.


There’s also plenty to discuss on the transfer front, with Curtis Jones heading to Inter Milan, Liverpool still looking for reinforcements and a number of young players heading out on loan. Is the squad ready for the new season?


Finally The Athletic’s Dan Sheldon joins the guys to look ahead to Sunday’s emotional trip to St James’ Park, where Liverpool and Newcastle will pay tribute to Kevin Keegan, before discussing Alexander Isak’s return to his former club.
