Liverpool have been rather busy in the summer transfer window this time around, with Arne Slot and Richard Hughes spending over £250million trying to improve their team.
Players such as Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez are yet to hit the ground running, as even though they’ve played at a top level for some time now, playing for Liverpool is a whole different level.
Since the summer transfer window opened, Liverpool have been linked with a move for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.

“His [Arne Slot’s] bigger concern [than signing Isak] is what he does with his defence,” he said.
“And for me, whatever the asking price is for Marc Guehi, then Liverpool need to go out and buy him today.”
McCoist then replied with: “I agree with Jeff, although I can’t see that happening, I mean, for the other end of the deal.
“If Crystal Palace sell Guehi, oh dear me.”
Players such as Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni have all been brought in to try and bolster Liverpool’s defensive ranks.
To combat this, one signing that the Reds must try and make is the addition of Guehi.
Only time will tell what the future has in store, but with everything that has gone on since the 2025-26 season kicked off, signing Guehi feels like it’s more important than signing Isak at the moment.
