Miguel Delaney, the chief football writer for the Independent, has shared an update on the three signings Liverpool are planning to make before the transfer window slams shut. While Liverpool are likely to end the window with as many as six new signings, there is a sense within the club hierarchy that more work is needed on the squad than they can afford this summer.

He pointed out that the report has since been updated to reflect that Liverpool are planning to sign two new attackers and one more mystery signing for an unnamed position. Hopefully this means Liverpool will sign Barcola, a right-winger, and a midfielder as this supposed mystery signing, because we all know that Iraola’s midfield is crying out for more attention.

Liverpool need to correct the imbalance in midfield before the window closes on Tuesday night A key paragraph from Delaney’s report perfectly sums up the transfer situation at Anfield. As one source says, “it’s like they’re in a boat with six different leaks but which one do you plug?” If they spend the available budget in one or two areas, they’re short in another.” Between Liverpool’s expensive but overexuberant spending spree last summer and Arne Slot’s mismanagement of the squad he was granted, Iraola has walked into a mess of a squad.
