Liverpool still have around six weeks left to do business this summer as they aim to further their transfer plans.
The Reds have had a stunning window so far, bringing in six new players including three who could make an impact in the starting XI.
Hugo Ekitike looks likely to be the seventh addition of the off-season, with Liverpool and Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly coming to an agreement over the Frenchman on Sunday.
But while Liverpool securing a fee for Ekitike was the big news of the day, there were still some other bits and pieces going on.
Here’s a round-up of Sunday’s transfer stories.

One of the longest running sagas of Liverpool’s summer so far has been the will-he-won’t-he exit tale of Luis Diaz.
Diaz is in the sights of Bayern Munich and after the German champions saw a first bid rejected by the Reds, they are expected to come back with another one.
In the meantime, however, journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday morning that Bayern could turn to Lyon’s Malick Fofana if Liverpool stand firm over Diaz.
Liverpool have been linked with Fofana themselves, and Romano says the young Belgian could be another option for Bayern.

After the headline announcement that Ekitike will be joining Liverpool in the coming days, extra pieces of information have slowly been filtering out on Sunday.
The 23-year-old is a significant signing for the Reds and Arne Slot will be keen to get him integrated into the set-up as soon as possible.

Slot and the squad are set to fly out to Hong Kong on Sunday evening as they prepare for a Far East double-header against AC Milan and Yokohama F.
Naturally, the question of whether Ekitike will join them there has been raised.
According to The Times, though, the new boy will not fly out with his soon-to-be teammates on Sunday.
However, Ekitike could reportedly fly to Asia and join up at a later date.

With all the excitement going on over both Ekitike and, potentially, Alexander Isak this weekend, it has been somewhat overlooked that Liverpool will still make at least one further addition.
That is likely to come at centre-back, where the Reds currently have only three senior options available.
Marc Guehi has been one of the favourites to join, but according to Caught Offside, Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi is another player Liverpool are looking at.
Tottenham are said to be in a firmer position for Zabarnyi, but it is claimed that the Reds are debating whether or not to rival Thomas Frank’s team.
The 22-year-old could reportedly command a price tag of around £60m this summer.
