Liverpool missed out on a move for Marc Guehi during the summer (Image: Getty Images) No doubt there will be plenty of clubs interested in Guehi - who wouldn't be if he's available for free? He will be 29 by the time the summer rolls around, so there might still be some time if he feels he can offer something when his contract expires at Al-Hilal.

Ruben Neves is set to be out of contract at Al-Hilal next summer (Image: Getty Images) That age would likely rule him out of a move to Liverpool, but if he's available for free, it could still be worth a punt, even as a solid backup to the likes of Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister, and it would be a fitting move given his long friendship with Diogo Jota. Quinten Timber A player Arne Slot knows well from his time at Feyenoord, Quinten Timber has been linked with a move to the Premier League as his contract in Rotterdam runs down, and though midfield might not be a priority for Liverpool, the twin brother of Arsenal star Jurrien might well be worth a look.

He is yet to make an appearance this season, which is a bit of a concern, although he's already saying all the right things, having previously revealed he models his game on Steven Gerrard. At 28, he might be a little older than the usual sort of player the Reds would target, but with three years of Premier League experience under his belt, he could be a shrewd bit of business for the club - hopefully Slot and Hughes still have his number.
