One that many would have hoped would never happen, but one that is now unavoidable.

It was confirmed on Monday that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be leaving Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The Reds had hoped to reach an agreement over a new deal over the last few months, but will now have to prepare for the academy graduate leaving the club this summer.

That will leave Arne Slot with a conundrum of who will start at right-back for next season.

Left-back has been a position at the centre of plenty of speculation, with one player in particular mentioned as a target.

Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool over the last few months.

After missing out on signing Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad last year, the question remains if the Reds have an alternative target on the agenda heading into the upcoming transfer window.

Then up front, a host of players have been linked with Liverpool this summer.

One player who is likely to be sought after this summer is Alexander Isak, who is looking to help guide Newcastle United to Champions League qualification.

If the Magpies were to finish in the top five in the Premier League, it would give Isak the chance to compete in the Champions League next season rather than move to a new club

Other rumours have speculated that the Magpies would refuse to let the striker leave the club regardless of what fee may be offered by rival clubs.

In a dream scenario, Liverpool may want to sign Isak this summer to be their starting striker for next season
