Liverpool are set to continue their search for midfield reinforcements this summer, with Alexis Mac Allister having arrived as their first signing of the summer this week.
The Reds have secured a deal to sign the Argentine midfielder for a reported £35 million, with the World Cup winner undergoing a medical on Wednesday having been granted permission to so so by current club Brighton. However, he is expected to be just the first arrival of the summer as the Reds' transfer strategy takes shape.
Jorg Schmadtke arrived as sporting director last week, with the German hired to facilitate Klopp's transfer wishes as he seeks to return to the Champions League next season. Midfield is believed to be the main target of the summer business, with James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all having left the club ahead of their contracts expiring on June 30.
