Liverpool made their first signing of the summer when Alexis Mac Allister arrived from Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £35m.
The move saw a World Cup-winner arrive on Merseyside as his historic season continued after leading the Seagulls to European qualification for the first time in their history. Mac Allister arrived as four are set to depart as free agents upon the expiry of their contracts at the end of the month.
Three of the quartet were options in Liverpool's engine room as James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita bid farewell to Anfield. The latter two players were often unfortunately unavailable for selection through injuries during their Anfield spell, which makes the need for the recruitment to be right this summer extra important.
