Jurgen Klopp has urged caution over Liverpool’s move for Moises Caicedo after agreeing a British record deal worth a reported £110 million. Chelsea had led the race to sign the Brighton star, but the Reds moved quickly on Wednesday in a bid to bolster their midfield. Klopp admits Jordan Henderson and Fabinho’s departures changed the landscape of the transfer window at Anfield, leaving them in a position to push for the Ecuadorian. Klopp said: “I can confirm the deal that the club has agreed, I don’t know what it means exactly, the player and agreement we will see. “What changes is we have not endless resources, we didn’t expect a couple of things happening, Hendo, Fab and then it happened and we give it a go and the club was really stretched. We will see in the end. “I have told you what I know. Besides that we cannot share, don’t praise the day before the night. Let’s see what happens.” More to follow...

Do not adjust your sets, Boy George is not representing Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest this year – despite their entry Gustaph sporting a similar pointy hat during their second semi-final performance in Liverpool on Thursday. Called “Because Of You”, the soulful club banger and fan favourite was performed by the singer (real name Stef Caers) while sporting a fabulous, wide-brimmed white hat, white suit and pink shirt. And while indy100 writer Harry Fletcher ranked it second-best out of the songs on offer during Saturday’s grand final as a “belting call to the dancefloor with serious oomph”, Twitter can’t help but compare Gustaph’s outfit – specifically his choice of hat – to another high-profile musician. Boy George. Yep, the Culture Club frontman (who’s known as George O’Dowd away from the spotlight) and former I’m A Celebrity contestant’s name has been mentioned as a result of both singers having a love of a good hat. On this note, we regret to inform you that this year’s Eurovision isn’t sponsored by Specsavers. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Nevertheless, Boy George was trending on Twitter with some calling Gustaph the ‘Belgian’ equivalent: Whether or not the comparison helped Belgium get through to the grand final, we’ll never know, but he joins fellow semi-final two qualifiers Austria, Australia and Poland in performing at the main event on Saturday. Gustaph hasn’t addressed the Boy George comments on social media, instead thanking fans for voting him through, and the “Karma Chameleon” singer hasn’t mentioned it either. Instead, over on Instagram he shared a video compilation of people dancing, with one animated clip depicting billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos putting on a DJ set.

A painting from 1937 has people wondering if time travel is real after it seemingly shows a Native American man using an "iPhone" while doing the "Sorry, I have to take this call" hand gesture. The painting called Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield was created by Italian artist Umberto Romano. It depicts a colonist and founder of Springfield, Massachusetts, William Pynchon, amid the city's development. Pynchon eventually went on to write The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption in 1650, the first book to ever be banned in Boston and burned in the Boston Common, as noted in the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum. Interestingly, Vice reported that Pynchon was an ancestor of the acclaimed and elusive novelist Thomas Pynchon. This is all intriguing stuff, but what really captures the attention is that a Native American man in the image seemed to encounter a message that took him by surprise. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The image has been shared on social media with some commentary on Reddit with some concocting scenarios about the Native American and the man tied up behind him. "Looks like they are going through the tied-up guy's browser history. Thinking maybe we should untie him. He seems to be into this kinda thing," one wrote. Another added: "Sure as hell does. Including the look on guy's face, like he just saw his most recent post got downvoted into oblivion." Other people on Twitter jokingly tried to figure out what "kind" of iPhone the man was using in the picture. "Is it a gold iPhone?" one asked, while someone else added, "Space Grey?" Romano, the artist of the painting, crafted another piece of artwork that looks like a woman watching something on an iPad, despite it being painted several decades before the technology had been created. A possible explanation for the smartphone-appearing device in the Mr.Pynchon painting could be a hand mirror, a popular trade item to use. He could also be examining an axe head.
