With Ruben Amorim still the favourite to land the Liverpool job, talk is turning to who he could sign for the Reds.

There’s still no concrete confirmation that Amorim will indeed be the man tasked with following in Jurgen Klopp’s footsteps this summer.

However, after reports that the Sporting manager has been handed a three-year deal at Anfield, it does kind of feel like a matter of time.

Should Amorim be the man tasked with getting the most out of Liverpool’s first-team squad, he may need a little help in the transfer window.

Thankfully, it looks like Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards are set to provide it.

Speaking exclusively to Rousing The Kop, journalist Graeme Bailey claims that the Reds are ‘very much’ in the mix to make a big signing this summer.

If you’d have asked Liverpool fans two weeks ago what they most need in this summer’s transfer window, the answer would probably have been a new centre-back or defensive midfielder.

However, having watched their forward line pretty much fall to pieces in front of goal, those answers may now have changed.

With question marks over the futures of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz, Liverpool might have needed a new attacker anyway.

But their recent profligacy has suggested that the Reds should sign one regardless.

And according to Bailey, Liverpool are looking to address that.

As they negotiate with Amorim about coming to the club, the journalist says the Reds are also discussing which players could join him from Lisbon, with striker Viktor Gyokeres in their thoughts.

“There’s talks ongoing about who might follow him [Amorim] from Sporting.

Gyokeres being one of them,” Bailey claims.

Gyokeres is a fascinating one to keep an eye on, Man United have held talks and Liverpool are very much in for him as well.”

We hadn’t expected that Liverpool would really need to look at a signing in the profile of Gyokeres this summer.
