Although they’ve brought in a couple of outstanding players this summer, it arguably hasn’t been the greatest transfer window that Liverpool have ever had. After securing a first Premier League title in 2020, the Reds have slipped from their perch and were left playing catch up for much of last season. With the unexpected losses of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson compounding some early window sales of their midfield stars, Jurgen Klopp will have known how important it would be to shore up that area of the pitch. There’s also a need to bring in players in other positions to…

Cody Gakpo had already made a happy habit of stepping up on the big occasion for Liverpool. So when Bayern Munich were the opposition in Singapore earlier this month, he didn’t waste any time. Less than two minutes were on the clock when Gakpo, racing on to a return pass from Diogo Jota, sprinted clear of the Bayern backline and slotted home a fine finish. It was further evidence of an effective warm-up programme for the Dutchman, who had signalled his intentions in the opening pre-season friendly at Karlsruhe when controlling a header down by Jota and then swivelling to…
