The Reds have very quickly become the transfer market specialists, which has again been on show under Edwards' successor: Julian Ward.

Liverpool earned nine times what they paid for defender Ben Davies this summer, despite never making a senior appearance for the club, and generated a healthy £17m package deal for Neco Williams to join Nottingham Forest.
