Liverpool secured their fourth and final signing of the summer on deadline day as Arthur Melo arrived at Anfield. The Reds signed the Brazil international on a season-long loan deal from Juventus in an attempt to bolster Jurgen Klopp’s midfield.
That capped off what proved to be a busy summer of business for Liverpool which saw the departure of key star Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich, but arrival of highly-rated forward Darwin Nunez from Benfica in a potential £85million deal. They also signed exciting prospects Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen and Fabio Carvalho from Fulham.
Their business this summer, along with the deal with Luis Diaz in the winter transfer window, hinted that we were about to see a form of evolution in the club’s attack. Nunez for example is a big tall traditional centre-forward, undoubtedly at his best spearheading an attack.
