There are three certainties in life - death, taxes, and Manchester City throwing money about in the transfer window.

Before we go any further, we know what you’re thinking if you happen to be a rival supporter who’s stumbled upon this.

Yes, Liverpool is going big this summer, with Florian Wirtz’s signing looking set to break the Premier League’s transfer record, and Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez adding to the expenses.
