3. Will Liverpool bring in any reinforcements?

With the sudden collapse of a deal for Martin Zubimendi it now looks like Liverpool are heading into the new season with no new signings.

In a perfect world that would change rather quickly. It'll be interesting to see if Slot, alongside Richard Hughes and Michel Edwards, deem the midfield fully stocked.

The aforementioned names are a very talented group, but as we have seen, it's a long arduous season, especially with participation in the newly formatted Champions League joining the fold.

Personally, I think a new defensive midfielder is needed and I am not alone in that. A proven No. 6 at the highest level, or near it, would go a long way to unlocking players like Gravenberch, Macca and Szoboszlai who could focus on getting forward.

Permanently moving TAA into a midfield role could be like a half-signing, but new blood is needed for this season and beyond. I'm eager to see if they make a move or not before deadline day.
