Indeed, the Reds have spent over £200million on new arrivals thus far, such as Florian Wirtz, but after their Community Shield defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday, it’s clear that improvement is still needed.

Indeed, at the moment, the Reds have both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate in their starting XI, but regarding depth, there’s little to none.

Joe Gomez is the third-choice centre-back at the moment, but when his injury history is taken into account, he’s hardly reliable.

“Super-talented 18 y/o centre-back Giovanni Leoni could also join Liverpool already in this transfer window, with advanced talks taking place behind the scenes, as previously revealed.

“Both deals are on.”

As mentioned, the weakest area in Liverpool’s team at the moment is their centre-backs.

Indeed, the signing of Alexander Isak would be revolutionary for the Anfield outfit, but at the moment, it’s clear that a new centre-back is more needed.

Hugo Ekitike may have only had one strong season throughout his career thus far, but after his performance in the Community Shield, it’s clear that the Reds have signed a gem.
