Liverpool's summer squad overhaul has got off to a promising start, with the arrivals of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister boosting the Reds midfield.
Midfielders were always expected to be the priority, with the departures of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner leaving a hole in the squad. However, defence is also thought to be a priority for improvement, with Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk both having entered their thirties.
Ibrahima Konate is expected to be a reliable option for years to come, but there will be backup required as Joe Gomez struggled to recapture his early Anfield form last season. Nat Phillips is also linked to the exit door, with Rhys Williams already having left the club as part of the summer transfer business.
