The transfer window might have only opened a week ago, but Liverpool continue to, inevitably, be linked with a plethora of players.
Such a fact is no surprise, it was always going to be a busy summer at Anfield with Alexis Mac Allister only the first new arrival through the door. At least one new midfielder, if not two, are expected to join the World Cup winner in joining the Reds, with Liverpool also in the market for a new, preferably left-sided, centre-back.
Throw in speculation regarding the futures of the likes of Caoimhin Kelleher and Kostas Tsimikas, and the Reds’ hand could be forced further by potential outgoings. And that’s without even considering the unlikely possibility of a new forward following Roberto Firmino’s exit, with Mohamed Salah poised to briefly depart mid-season for the Africa Cup of Nations once again.
