Liverpool’s season has shifted sharply after a difficult run of form that saw them lose three consecutive matches without scoring, leaving their recent record reading D-W–L–L–L before Saturday’s response against Fulham.

For Arne Slot, the task of replacing two long-serving, influential players while simultaneously competing for Champions League football through the league has shaped much of the club’s transfer thinking in recent months. It is within that context that interest from elsewhere in La Liga defender Oscar Mingueza, who has been linked to Liverpool, has quietly intensified.

As reported by BBC Sport, “Arsenal have also been made aware of Celta Vigo full-back Oscar Mingueza, who is out of contract at the end of the season.” Mingueza is 26 years old, a product of Barcelona’s La Masia academy, and is currently in the middle of one of his most productive seasons in La Liga, making 26 appearances for Celta Vigo with one goal and four assists to his name. Reports sugest that Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City have all been approached by Mingueza’s representatives, with Tottenham, Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Everton also keeping tabs on the situation for some time.
