Liverpool believe that Manchester City signing Kalvin Phillips will put them in pole position to land Jude Bellingham next summer.
Having already sanctioned moves for Fabio Carvalho, Calvin Ramsay and Darwin Nunez, Jurgen Klopp’s summer of incoming business looks to have been completed. A new striker always promised to be at the top of the Reds’ summer wishlist, particularly after Sadio Mane outlined his desire to leave.
And the deal - which could become a club record - for Nunez was completed before Mane’s Bayern Munich switch ensuring the smoothest possible transition. That could be that in terms of arrivals as Klopp’s charges look to go one better in the hunt for Premier League and Champions League honours.
