Below are some of the latest Liverpool headlines as the summer transfer window hots up...

Liverpool have been praised by former Manchester City financial advisor Stefan Borson for their negotiations with Real Madrid over Trent Alexander-Arnold.

“I got that one completely wrong," he told Football Insider.



“I thought that the Liverpool wage saving would be enough to encourage Liverpool to do a deal with Real because they had no benefit from having him on the books for June, and they would have had to have paid him.

“But somehow, not only do they save the wages, but they get £10million.

I guess the way to look at it is to say the manager really wants the player as soon as possible, and if they get it right at the Club World Cup, they can do £125million of prize money.

“There is no way that I would have done that deal if I were Real Madrid.

But the players that are playing in that Club World Cup have had no rest whatsoever.

“We know Real Madrid are going to go to at least the quarter-finals and probably the semi-finals at least, so they’re not going to be finished with that tournament until July 10 or something like that at a minimum.

Instead, they doubled down on it and they want to get him on board very early.

“I’m very surprised, but it’s a brilliant deal for Liverpool.

He has 41 goals and 17 assists in 128 games for the club so far and, at 26, looks set to be a key player going forward.
