In this episode of It’s Called Soccer, Rebecca Lowe and Jamie Carragher are joined by Charlotte FC head coach and former Aston Villa boss Dean Smith for a jam-packed show!

The episode kicks off with a deep dive into Mohamed Salah's contract extension at Liverpool — why he stayed, what it means for the club’s future, and whether Virgil van Dijk is next to sign. Jamie reveals who he thinks Liverpool should sign this summer and what Arne Slot's priorities must be.

Then, the crew dives into the Premier League's Top 5 race, with Carragher giving his predictions and making a bold claim that Newcastle could catch Arsenal for second place.

We also break down the situation at Tottenham, as pressure mounts on Ange Postecoglou. Plus, Jamie reacts to Robbie Mustoe’s on-air exchange with Gary Neville.

The episode wraps with an in-depth interview with Dean Smith, who discusses his transition to MLS, what makes Wilfried Zaha special, and why Charlotte FC feels like the perfect fit.
