Hello and welcome to our live Liverpool coverage on Wednesday, August 20th.

The Reds have under a fortnight to conclude their business in the summer transfer window - and it seems as though the Alexander Isak saga could go right to the wire.

Liverpool had a bid rejected for Isak but the Newcastle United striker is determined to get his dream move to Anfield.

On Tuesday night, Isak finally spoke out amid the rampant transfer speculation in a statement uploaded to his Instagram account after he decided against attending the PFA Awards.

He spoke of “broken promises” and “trust being lost”, meaning that his time at Newcastle “can't continue.” The Magpies have since released their own statement on the situation.

Liverpool are determined not to be held to ransom by Newcastle’s £150million asking price and it remains to be seen if that stance will change in light of the latest developments.

Elsewhere, Harvey Elliott and Kostas Tsimikas face uncertain futures, while Ibrahima Konate’s future also needs to be resolved with the centre-back into the final year of his contract.
