Liverpool’s busy summer transfer window continues as the Reds look to strengthen Arne Slot’s Premier League-winning squad.

Florian Wirtz became the club’s latest arrival on Friday, joining in a club-record deal worth up to £116m from Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Nat Phillips became the latest departee on Monday evening as he completed a permanent £3m move to West Bromwich Albion.



The 28-year-old had one year left on his contract with Liverpool, and departed on a permanent basis after spending the past two seasons on loan at Celtic, Cardiff City and Derby County.

The Reds’ business won’t end there though, with Liverpool already having further deals in the pipeline, both incoming and outgoing.

Jarell Quansah is set to join Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth up to £35m.

If the right option does not present itself, the Reds are content with the current options already at their disposal.

The only way Liverpool will step away from such a preference would be if a good market opportunity presented itself elsewhere, such as if Crystal Palace were willing to sell Marc Guehi for an attractive fee with the England international now entering the final year of his contract.

Harvey Davies is close to agreeing a season-long loan move to League Two side Crawley Town.

The Reds will likely confirm the shot-stopper has signed a long-term contract ahead of completing the temporary move.

The 21-year-old’s temporary exit follows hot on the heels of Vitezslav Jaros joining Ajax on a season-long loan deal.
