Liverpool have moved quickly to bolster their midfield ranks following several departures.
The likes of Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all moved on and Alexis Mac Allister has come in from Brighton for a fee that could rise to £55m. More reinforcements are needed however after the Reds missed out on the Champions League.
A lack of creativity as well as intensity was cited as an issue for Jurgen Klopp's side, who continued to perform below par. More new faces are set to arrive, but the club are working within financial parameters that present their own challenges.
