Why Liverpool rejected 'easy' Youri Tielemans, Kalvin Phillips and Yves Bissouma transfers

Liverpool's summer transfer business is now all but over after they completed the signing of highly-rated Aberdeen full-back Calvin Ramsay for a fee in the region of £6.5m.

The 18-year-old became the Reds' third addition on Saturday following the arrivals of Fulham's Fabio Carvalho on a free transfer and Darwin Nunez for a reported club record fee from Benfica. Jurgen Klopp 's aim was to lower the average age of the squad and he has done just that with the trio all aged 22 or younger.

However, there is some frustration from fans that Liverpool have not signed a new midfielder in the window with many feeling that area 'lacks quality' and 'fresh legs'. Klopp is an admirer of Borussia Dortmund ace Jude Bellingham and now- Real Madrid star Aurien Tchouameni but the Reds boss has decided to wait until at least next summer to strengthen his midfield.
