Liverpool made a big splash in the transfer market on Friday as they formalised the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
Wirtz became the latest addition of what is shaping up to be one of the biggest windows in Reds’ history.
Perhaps the most exciting part of it all is that Liverpool are seemingly not done yet.
With Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong sealed and Milos Kerkez on the way, Arne Slot and Richard Hughes have already delivered on a big scale.
But a new striker is still needed, while Jarell Quansah’s imminent exit means another centre-back is likely to arrive as well.
Beyond that, there is a feeling in some sections of the Liverpool support that a new midfielder should also be on the agenda.

Liverpool’s need for a new midfielder is slightly lower down their list of priorities this season.
But Bajcetic is coming off the back of hamstring surgery and, as a result, Bailey says Liverpool are exploring their options, Zaire-Emery being one of them.
“It looks like a few clubs are having a sniff around Zaire-Emery,” he claims.
“Is he a generational talent Liverpool will try for if he suddenly becomes available?

“Premier League clubs are asking if he’s available, Liverpool are one of them,” he continues.
“There is seemingly a bit of a crack in the door maybe that he might look to move on, but it would take an awful lot of money to get him out of Paris.”
As Liverpool look to spend more money on a striker and a centre-back, it feels probable that the midfielder hunt will have to wait another year.
Should the Reds receive encouragement that Zaire-Emery is available, there is seemingly every chance they may choose to pull the trigger.
But if, as is more likely, the Frenchman stays at PSG, Liverpool have the luxury of being able to wait another year.
In Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo, Slot should have enough deep-lying midfield options to get through the season.
