Liverpool transfer news as links grow over a potential move for Everton star Iliman Ndiaye this summer, while the Reds have also been tipped to make a move for Bournemouth's RayanAndoni Iraola is looking to get some fresh faces in at Liverpool during the summer transfer window(Image: (Photo by PETER POWELL / AFP via Getty Images))The summer transfer window is set to kick into life over the next couple of weeks, and Liverpool could be at the center of it with moves in and out of the club expected soon.The Reds have already made two additions to the roster so far, as Andoni Iraola prepares for his first season in charge at Anfield, but more is needed to give the head coach the best chance of succeeding.In his recent press conference, the Spaniard admitted that Liverpool is looking at signing a winger in the market, while other reports have claimed that a midfielder and a right-sided defender could also make their way to Merseyside.Exits will also need to be considered to keep the balance of the team, with the likes of Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, and Federico Chiesa among those most heavily linked with a potential move.So, with that said, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors heading into another busy day of action in the market.Iliman Ndiaye (Everton)As Liverpool remains on the lookout for potential forward additions in the market, TeamTalk reports that Everton's Iliman Ndiaye is a potential target for the Reds.Iliman Ndiaye has been linked with Liverpool — but he's unlikely to make the switch(Image: Emma Simpson/Everton FC/SmartFrame)The 26-year-old, who is with the Toffees for his second stint in the Premier League after a previous spell with Sheffield United, has impressed in his time on Merseyside so far. The Senegal international picked up six goals and three assists in the division last season, showing versatility in his role on both flanks and even as a striker.It's unclear whether Everton would be open to a sale for one of their key players, who has a deal until 2029, but it's not the first time he has been linked with a possible exit from the club over the course of the summer.Liverpool.com says: Ndiaye is certainly a player who can make things happen, and his quality on the pitch is defined beyond his actual output and numbers.

However, given the rivalry between Liverpool and Everton, a deal appears unrealistic, or at best an extremely expensive one to do in the market. His profile may not fit exactly what Iraola wants and needs, though his versatility would be a useful trait considering the injuries across the team in the past year.Rayan (Bournemouth)Liverpool has been tipped to make a move for Bournemouth winger Rayan this summer, in a deal that could cost in the region of $135 million.Despite the Brazilian winger only joining the Cherries back in January, the early signs have shown the quality he possesses and the potential to grow further.As a result, Alan Shearer has tipped the Reds to make him their next signing, as he told Betfair: "They're going to have to replace Salah on that side.

Rayan obviously worked with Andoni Iraola last year and he's clearly going on to big things, so that would be a big one for Liverpool."Liverpool are going to have to make two or three big signings and that would start them off nicely. They were pretty awful last year in terms of where they wanted to be, so they have to go out and they have to sign."Liverpool.com says: A move for Rayan could prove to be a huge turning point for Liverpool, as the team needs a replacement for Salah, who mixes both quality and potential to push on and become even better.
