The summer transfer window is certainly heating up, with Liverpool locked in an almighty battle with Newcastle for two of the most sought-after strikers around.

The Reds made an approach to their Premier League rivals on Tuesday for Alexander Isak, fresh off the back of Newcastle making a first bid for Hugo Ekitike.

The situation has since developed, with Eintracht Frankfurt having turned down the Magpies' offer, while Liverpool has since approached the Bundesliga club about Ekitike, with the Reds looking to pounce should Newcastle continue to stand firm on Isak.

It all makes for an intriguing saga, and that's not the only dominating the headlines at the moment.

Luis Diaz's future continues to be a major talking point, with Liverpool having turned down an offer from Bayern Munich and insisting the winger isn't for sale.

Diaz though looks to have made his mind up after telling the club he wants to leave.

Meanwhile, it looks like there could be a race for Rodrygo's signature this summer, and Liverpool could well be involved.
