Ask any Liverpool fan at the beginning of the summer transfer window which areas needed to be addressed in Arne Slot’s squad, and most would respond with the same positions: right-back, left-back, attacking midfield, and a new No.

More importantly, with six weeks left in the window, Liverpool is in an incredibly healthy position.



Some supporters may have believed upgrades were needed before the window, but they feel like a necessity since Jarell Quansah’s exit9

After the Ekitike deal was confirmed, Liverpool ECHO writer Ian Doyle reported that the Reds are "still monitoring" the Swede's situation.

What has become apparent this summer is the noise around Isak has clearly unsettled Isak

That may give Liverpool some hope, even if the chances of signing Isak have dwindled.

A new dynamic attacking duet of Wirtz and Ekitike may assuage any disappointment if Isak does indeed remain in the north east

Liverpool fans will even hope the latter proves to be a more astute investment in the long run.
