Liverpool have made a great start to their summer transfer window after bringing in top target Alexis Mac Allister for a cut-price fee of around £35m.
The window is yet to officially open, but the rumour mill is gathering pace with the Reds in the market for more midfielders and a defender.
Rumours are rife on social media with Liverpool interested in moves for French duo Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone while rumours of the Reds admiration for Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga are gathering pace.

The ECHO understands the strikeforce is likely to be untouched, but a new centre half and more additions to the middle of the pitch are being looked at by Jurgen Klopp.
Bayern Munich's Benjamin Pavard and Sporting Lisbon's Goncalo Inacio have been linked with Liverpool. The Reds have also been tentatively linked with a move for relegated Southampton star James Ward-Prowse.
Gabri Veiga
Liverpool have entered talks for Celta Vigo star Veiga, according to football journalist Fabrizio Romano after he spoke on the YouTube channel ‘That’s Football.’
The Spaniard has a release clause of £34 million, something that would suit the Reds in their search for more additions.
“Gabri Veiga from Celta Vigo is one of the players Liverpool are monitoring,” Romano said. “Really appreciated by many Premier League clubs. There is an open race, but this is a very interesting player with a €40m [£34m] release clause included into his contract, he’s one to watch.”
Khephren Thuram
The Reds could make Thuram their next summer signing after World Cup winner Mac Allister. The Frenchman is representing France at Euro Under-21 Championships and he remains prominent on Liverpool's list of targets this summer.
According to TalkSPORT via Tribal Football, Liverpool are very serious about signing Thuram and would like a deal to be done soon.
Personal terms are said to be close to being agreed between the player and club, but Nice are apparently unwilling to do business with Liverpool at this moment - although that could change should the player put in an official transfer request.
Goncalo Inacio
Sporting Lisbon defender Inacio reportedly favours a move to Manchester United over Liverpool and Newcastle United in the summer transfer window, according to O Jogo via the Evening Standard.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for the talented defender this summer with a left-sided centre half on the radar for Klopp, but the pursuit of Inacio may be beyond the Reds.
Inacio reportedly has a release clause worth around £38m and has put talks over a new deal at Sporting on hold.
Manu Kone
Like his international team-mate and best friend, Thuram, Kone is on the list of midfielders Liverpool could look to add to their ranks, but a move is thought to be 'unlikely' at this stage.
Despite talks of personal terms close to being agreed and Borussia Monchengladbach willing to do business, Kone is looking like he won't be making the move to Anfield this summer.
Reporter Florian Plettenburg said: "Been told a transfer to Liverpool is very unlikely. Yes, he’s on a shortlist because of his interesting profile but not a hot transfer target for Liverpool at this stage."
