Liverpool are still working hard to get deals over the line and there is plenty more to come.
The Reds are not giving fans a moment to breathe this summer as they continue to try and get all the business done before their pre-season tour of Asia next month.
The Bayer Leverkusen duo of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz are already done, with left-back Milos Kerkez the one who was always planned to join soon after.
The Hungarian has been rather open about his desire to join Liverpool this summer and his dad even unofficially announced his move to Anfield before the club have, suggesting this deal is only a matter of time.
It may have dragged on a little longer than many supporters would have hoped but it is reaching its climax, with the latest major update being the most promising of them all.

Fans are always quick to come up with witty taglines for players and the most recent was ‘Florian Friday’, with the club themselves jumping on the trend and using it when announcing him just three days ago.
‘Milos Monday’ was another that has been created and it may just become a reality as journalist David Lynch has revealed that Kerkez will fly to Liverpool today to finalise the deal.

The Hungarian should arrive this afternoon to complete his £40m move from Bournemouth, although whether an official announcement will be made today is yet to be confirmed.
Legal issues were the reason for Kerkez’s delay, but that clearly is sorted now and he will be a Liverpool player very soon, becoming the third addition to Arne Slot’s squad already this summer.
Andy Robertson’s future is still in doubt but that will not affect the Hungarian’s move, with the 22-year-old set to be the first choice left-back for the foreseeable future.
Every sign points to Kerkez being a perfect signing for the Reds this summer.
His personality will fit in well, he has the profile to work perfectly, and he will only get better at 22.
He is very similar to Robertson in the sense that he loves to get forward and has the energy to do so, although his youthfulness will certainly add more to the team than the Scotsman did last season.
Kerkez was under pressure to reject Liverpool at the last minute as other clubs were very interested, but the Hungarian only ever wanted the Reds, suggesting he could be a bit of a fan-favourite in a short period of time.
