Liverpool fans who are eagerly anticipating deadline day signings at Anfield have been warned they might be disappointed.In contrast to the £446m trolley dash from 2025, the Reds have been far more measured in this summer’s window, with just three players signed since the end of last season, one of whom (Ronald Araujo) is on loan.The Merseysiders did confirm the arrival of Bradley Barcola for an initial £106m on Monday, although they now have only a few hours to add to Andoni Iraola’s squad before the market shuts for four months.Liverpool maintain ‘their business is done’Transfer reporter Alex Crook has claimed that Liverpool chiefs are satisfied with the business completed this summer and aren’t likely to bring in any more players before the deadline at 11pm tonight.Speaking on talkSPORT‘s White and Jordan show, he said: “Interestingly, I’ve been speaking to people at Liverpool this morning and they tell me their business is done in terms of incomings in this window.“I think Liverpool fans on deadline day might be a bit disappointed with the lack of numbers they’ve recruited this summer. They haven’t replaced Mohamed Salah on that right-hand side.”(Photo by Jack Thomas/Getty Images)Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
