And, with the recent form that some players, such as Ibrahima Konate, have found themselves in, it still feels like a couple of signings need to be made to give Liverpool the best chance of retaining the Premier League title.

Ever since Giovanni Leoni arrived, the vast majority of transfer talk to have emerged from Liverpool is where the futures of Isak and Guehi lie.

However, while live on talkSPORT, former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy gave his thoughts on whether the Reds should step up their chase for Guehi.

“Guehi is calm, he’s quick, he’s experienced and even if they have to pay £40million for him, it’s a steal, players of his ability, they’re double the price,” he said.

“Just get it done.”

On the face of things, it’s clear that Liverpool must sign a new attacker and a new defender this summer.

Indeed, Liverpool now have four senior centre-backs among their ranks, but as mentioned, the recent form of Konate has been a major cause for concern.

Only time will tell what the future has in store, but of all the signings Liverpool could make at the moment, Guehi feels like the most needed.
