But there remains more work to be done before the summer deadline arrives in two weeks.

In attack, Liverpool is still a little light, with Alexander Isak the main target there.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)

Liverpool "won’t wait forever for Alexander Isak" and has set a deadline of this week to get the wheels in motion on a transfer deal, according to the Belgian journalist Sacha Tovalieri.

It is reported that Liverpool recognises the need to have enough options in attack for this season.

It feels like all parties could do with it simply coming to a conclusion now, though the wait for Newcastle to get replacements in continues.

Nathan Collins (Brentford)

Liverpool is expected to press ahead with a move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, but the Daily Mail reports that the Reds are also one of a number of teams who admire Brentford skipper Nathan Collins, who could be an alternative.

Manchester United and Tottenham are also said to be looking for defensive reinforcements, with Collins on the agenda for them too

Previously at Wolves, he took over from Christian Norgaard as Brentford captain this summer.

Brentford, having already lost Thomas Frank and Bryan Mbuemo and with Yoane Wissa looking likely to join Newcastle United, is desperate to keep hold of its best center-back.
