Liverpool news: Reds suffer “unrealistic” transfer blow after first summer deal secured

Liverpool are still well in the running for a place in the Champions League heading into the final few matches of the season.

Their 3-0 victory over Leicester cut the gap to both Manchester United and Newcastle to just one point - albeit with the Reds having played a game more. Securing a place at Europe’s top table will no doubt help Jurgen Klopp in adding to his squad.

Work is already underway in the transfer market and there could be a number of new arrivals during the summer. Take a look at all of the headlines coming out of Anfield over the past 24 hours:

Reds hit with Kelleher transfer blow

Liverpool have been told their valuation of Caoimhin Kelleher is 'unrealistic' as Brentford discuss a potential move for the Republic of Ireland shot-stopper. The Bees are set to sign a new goalkeeper this summer with David Raya expected to depart the Gtech Community Stadium.

According to the Daily Mail, Brentford are interested in Kelleher but see Liverpool's valuation of around £15million unrealistic for a 'keeper that has only made four Premier League appearances. The Irish stopper could still leave Anfield this summer in search of regular first-team football.

Liverpool close to deal for wonderkid

Liverpool are poised to sign 14-year-old Wolves wonderkid Harvey Owen, a player who Yaya Toure rates highly. The Reds will finalise an £800,000 deal with their Premier League rivals, according to reports from The Secret Scout, to continue their streak of snapping up some of Britain's finest young talent.

It has been suggested that Owen has been offered a scholarship as part of Liverpool's plans for the future. Due to a Brexit ruling, clubs in England are no longer permitted to sign players from outside of the UK until they turn 18, which makes winning the race for the likes of Owen and teenage forward Doak even more important.

Klopp hails Gakpo

One man who has already made a move to Anfield is Cody Gakpo and Klopp has praised the Dutchman for his performance in the Reds’ win over Leicester.

Speaking after the full-time whistle at the King Power Stadium, he said: "He is a super footballer and a smart person. I never for second thought that he was only 24, but he is really young. He was captain at his previous club (PSV), which is special.

"And then you meet the boy and you think: 'Ah OK, now I understand why.' He eats football, each information we give him is so natural for him to put it on the pitch.”
