Liverpool can “absolutely” win the Premier League title with Andoni Iraola at the helm, according to Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams.
Iraola was confirmed as the Reds’ head coach earlier this week, as an exciting new era gets underway at Anfield.
The Spaniard promises to bring an attractive brand of football back to Liverpool, hopefully similar to Jurgen Klopp, having helped so many players excel at Bournemouth.
One of those individuals is Adams, and speaking to media while on international duty with the USA, he tipped the Reds for great things under Iraola.

“Can they? Liverpool? Absolutely,” Adams said.
“Under how he plays the game, with the types of players that they have and the style that he’s going to want to play, absolutely.”
Meanwhile, fellow Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks backed up that opinion, making it clear how highly he rates Iraola.
“I feel like once he left Bournemouth after three really good seasons, we knew he was going to a top team,” Brooks commented.
“We didn’t know who it was going to be or where it was going to be. I wish him all the success there.
“He’s been good for me, my career and he’s given Bournemouth European football.
“There’s no animosity towards him or any or the staff that go with him. We wish him all the best, just not when we play him.”
Andoni Iraola: Liverpool’s next title-winning boss?

Andoni Iraola was taking charge of his last match for Bournemouth and set his final mission to secure a place in the Champions League, but they fell agonisingly short. Picture date: Sunday May 24, 2026.
Iraola has already spoken so impressively since taking charge of Liverpool, and it’s hard not to feel an instant connection with him.
Patience is going to be needed, with miracles not to be expected from day one, but he has all the tools to make the Reds genuine challengers again.
He demands an exceptional work ethic from his players and adopts an attacking style of play, but there is also a Spanish steeliness to him that won’t allow standards to drop.
Klopp took time to become the legend that he was, not winning a trophy for nearly four years at Liverpool, and Iraola may also need time to make his mark.
But there is no reason why Liverpool can’t be in the mix to win the title from Iraola’s first season onwards, even if champions Arsenal are more settled currently.
If things don’t work out perfectly to begin, though, it is vital that an overreaction is avoided by the supporters.
