Liverpool remain frequently linked with players across England and Europe as the transfer rumour mill gets into its groove.
We're currently three days into the summer window after it opened this week. Alexis Mac Allister has already been welcomed through the entrance at Anfield but the feeling and speculation suggests the Reds' business is far from over.
Despite Mac Allister's arrival, midfield remains a key Liverpool department that needs improvement, while a defensive addition also isn't off the cards.
Levi Colwill has admirers at the AXA Training Centre while Micky van de Ven has been linked with a move to Merseyside.

And here is a round-up of the latest Liverpool transfer rumours...
Nicolo Barella
Chelsea are the latest team to be linked with Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella. The Italian is rumoured to be a target for Liverpool while Newcastle United have reportedly lodged a bid for the tenacious tackler.
Corriere dello Sport, via Mail Online, claim that Chelsea want to include the 26-year-old Italy international in a swap deal for Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian forward has struggled since returning for a second spell in west London and the report suggests he could move permanently back to the Italian club.
In Italy, they say that Chelsea have asked for Euro 2020 winner Barella to be included in a deal for Lukaku. However, it remains to be seen whether the Londoners can get the move over the line, with Inter looking to keep the former Everton forward albeit on another loan.
Federico Valverde
The future of Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde has been thrust under the spotlight following the big-money arrival of Jude Bellingham.
The signing of the Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder has sparked speculation over the Uruguayan's future at the Bernabeu - with suggestions that Liverpool are eyeing a move.
The Reds certainly know of Valverde's qualities after coming up against him and Madrid in the Champions League in their previous two seasons. However, while on international duty with Uruguay, the player himself has ruled out a reunion with countryman, Darwin Nunez, at Anfield.
"No, no - I’m at Madrid, trying to enjoy every moment and leave my mark on the best club in the world," Valverde told ESPN Argentina via the Evening Standard. "I want to keep winning titles for Real Madrid fans."
Arthur Melo
After a disappointing and frustrating loan spell with Liverpool, Arthur Melo's fortunes don't appear to be changing as reports in Italy suggest he is on his way out of Juventus.
Gazzetta dello Sport have claimed that the Brazil midfielder could leave the Serie A side as they continue cost-cutting in Turin. There will be no European football for the Italian giants next season as their points deduction saw them plummet down the table.
The Italian outlet have used the term "redundancy" to describe their offloading of players - Dejan Kulusevski becoming the first of them after his move to Tottenham Hotspur was made permanent.
They continue to say, the idea of selling Arthur or terminating his contract is not feasible, although they are working on a solution to completely offload his reported €6.5m per annum salary.
