The summer transfer window is now closed, and to say it was a busy one for Liverpool may be a bit of an understatement, especially if you compare it to this time last year.

By time the 7pm deadline came around on Monday, Liverpool had spent a reported £446 million on new recruits, including the £125 million deadline day capture of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.

There was a late blow on the same day with a late move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi falling through on deadline day.



The player had undergone a medical ahead of a potential move, but after failing to source a replacement, the Eagles pulled the plug on the deal and he will remain at Selhurst Park.

As well as Isak, Liverpool also completed the signings of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and Freddie Woodman.

Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Trent Alexander-Arnold were among the highest profile exits in what was a summer of change.

The transfer spend by Liverpool is the highest in the Premier League, but have they spent that money wisely.

Here, some of our writers give their view on how the summer window has gone for the Reds:

The summer window has seen Liverpool add undoubted extra quality to their squad as they look to defend the Premier League title this time around.

The deadline day signing of Alexander Isak means that Arne Slot has added one of the most dangerous strikers in the league to what was already a formidable attack.

It feels like the club are probably one top quality central defender away from a dream squad.

To say Liverpool's staggering summer transfer shopping spree caught me off guard would be an understatement of epic proportions.

Just 12 months ago, the club was haggling over a bargain deal for Federico Chiesa, who barely kicked a ball.

Now Slot has to convert that tidy business into silverware.

It would not be hyperbole to suggest that this has been one of the most impressive summer transfer windows in Premier League history.

If we were to be told what Arne Slot's first two summer windows at Liverpool were going to look like at the start of his tenure, I am not sure anyone would have believed the prophecy.

The fact he barely spent in his first window and still led Liverpool to the Premier League title was sensational.
