00:00Liverpool are not just spending this summer, they're signalling a new era.

00:06After months of anticipation, Arnie Slott's first transfer window has exploded into life

00:10with the club's boldest recruitment drive in years.

00:14The latest move, a £79m agreement for French striker Hugo Eketique,

00:19marking the sixth edition to a squad being rebuilt with precision and a clear tactical blueprint.

00:24Eketique had his medical on Tuesday before joining Liverpool's pre-season tour in Asia.

00:31The DLC's Liverpool play £69m up front with a potential £10m in add-ons for domestic and European competitions.

00:39The 23-year-old, formerly of PSG and now in the Bundesliga, arrived as a multifunctional number line,

00:45Slott wanted, one capable of the line with pace, flair and tactical intelligence.

00:50He'll play just ahead of Florian Wirt, signed for the number 10 role as Liverpool's attacking shape evolves.

00:57With Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz operating from wide areas,

01:02and the latter still attracting interest from Bayern Munich,

01:05Slott's forward options look both dangerous and deep.

01:09Outgoings are expected, with Darwin Nunez likely to depart,

01:12and several others including Harvey Elliott, Ben Doak and Tyler Morton subject to interest.

01:18Eketique's arrival takes Liverpool's summer spend past £250m.

01:24But it's not reckless, it's the reward of patience, long-term planning and a data-led recruitment strategy.

01:30The club spent modestly last year building up funds and waiting for the right moment and the right players.

01:37This one isn't a window panic, it's a long-term vision being realised.

01:40Much like the 2018 window that brought Alisson, Fabinho and Van Dijk,

01:46this is about building another title-winning spine.

01:49Liverpool aren't reacting to pressure, they're executing a plan years in the making with discipline and clarity.

01:57Arnish Lott's reign has begun with purpose and conviction.

02:01Liverpool promised the big summer.

02:02What they're delivering is completely a statement of intent.

02:06More trophies, transformation and a team built to dominate again,

02:11not just for a season, but for a generation.
