As Liverpool's front of house continues to be a quiet place for transfers, the kick-off of the Under-21s' European Championships has led to some unease creeping into parts of the fanbase this week.
The Reds are monitoring at least four midfielders at the tournament, which got underway on Wednesday night, with Gabri Veiga of Spain, the Netherlands' Ryan Gravenberch and France duo Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone all being assessed.
Gravenberch's international colleague, defender Micky van de Ven, has also been linked with a move to Anfield, while the club will of course be keeping a keen eye on Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones, who are both with Lee Carsley's England squad in Romania and Georgia.
