Will Liverpool’s transfer business start to hot up in final months?

A look at their current transfer situation.

00:00On the transfer front, we've spoken whether the fans might have been itching a bit because

00:06there was no business being done in terms of incomings. Is anything expected to pick

00:12up now from now until the start of the season, now players are starting to return from the

00:16tournaments and hopefully there can be some transfer business done?

00:20Yeah, I think so. I think, looking at what the players are, they're pretty much starters

00:27or the ones you bring on off the bench. Likes of Anzac, Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Nunez,

00:36Kalista, he already knows enough about them to know that they'll be in his plans. So it's

00:43been the case of who are the back-ups who I want to keep, who maybe do I want to leave

00:48and where do I need to bolster. Obviously, the number six role is one that's been talked

00:54about quite a lot. Is it with Taro Endal, the player who Arnaslott wants for that holding

01:02the field's role? Is he good enough on the ball to be progressive enough that Arnaslott

01:07will want? Well, maybe not. So, Liverpool go and look elsewhere. Just before we've started

01:13talking now, it would be a pleasure if Liverpool have identified a number six outside of the

01:18Premier League. So I'm sure that fans will be strolling through La Liga and Serie A seeing

01:24who could fit the bill. So that would be one. Another forward that's been talked about,

01:32the Anthony Gordon links are continuing. But for Anthony Gordon to come in, you'd probably

01:38have to lose a left-sided forward. Because Liverpool have got three, Stroot four who

01:45can play there. Luis Diaz, Kylian Mbappe, Joel Jotunen, even Dario Nunez can play there.

01:51And then you've got a couple of younger players as well. Fabio Carvalho stays, that's another

01:55option. So did he need another forward? Did he look on the other's flank? Did he look for a

02:01long-term successor for Mo Salah, someone who can give Salah a little bit of respite? Because when

02:07he came back from injury last season, he wasn't the same player. And maybe playing all those

02:12games that he has done since he arrived at Liverpool, he's catching up on them. And a

02:16centre-back has been talked about as well. The Pearl have got four, Stroot five options,

02:22if you include Sepp van der Beek, who's done well in pre-season. Obviously, Joe Gomez,

02:27there was an agreement with Newcastle for him to go the other way with Gordon before that deal

02:32broke down, before the PSR deadline. But reports suggest now Joe Gomez is fully committed to

02:39Liverpool and in the spot. So if Joe Gomez stays and Liverpool needs another centre-back,

02:46because they have four, Stroot five options, depends on what happens with van der Beek as

02:50well. But yeah, I think the midfielders, if you are to have supporters, what they want to be in

02:55midfield, it looks like that will be the area of the pitch that Arnaslott is looking to target now.
