However, Jeremy Jacquet - the Reds' only other major signing of the summer - is with the squad and ready to make an impact.That doesn't mean the transfer rumour mill isn't still turning for Iraola and his team, however.

At least according to Fabrizio Romano, who says the RB Leipzig winger's proposed move to PSG isn't necessarily signed, sealed or delivered.While Les Parisiens may have had personal terms agreed with the Ivorian as far back as early June, it's a different story when it comes to Leipzig themselves.The Germans have agreed to nothing and are still desperate to tie their star down to a new contract themselves.That could give Liverpool the opening they need to resurrect a move of their own, though a price-tag in excess of £100million for the teenager could still prove problematic.Diomande wants to joins PSG(Image: Joe Prior/Visionhaus via Getty Images)Today08:38 BSTGood morning!Another day, another opportunity fans are hoping Liverpool will take to conduct a raft of transfer business.A number of players who have only just returned from the United States are suddenly back for their first pre-season under the Spaniard.However, there are also a number of irons in the fire as the Reds look to keep adding to their ranks.
