Mark McAdams has now ‘guaranteed’ that Liverpool will make some signings in the current transfer window.
The Merseysiders are now the only outfit in the Premier League to have not brought in a new player this summer, as things currently stand.
“There’s no question Michael Edwards will be looking at players to potentially come in, the same with Richard Hughes, who’s been operating as a sporting director for over 10 years largely in the Premier League,” the reporter told Sky Sports.
McAdams went on to add: “They will be working together, they’ve got a long-standing 20-year relationship together and they will be looking to attack the market at some stage.
“I can guarantee you Liverpool will sign players in this summer. Don’t worry Liverpool fans, just let things evolve naturally. Arne Slot will be a key decision maker in any new face at Anfield.”
That said, the Reds are now approaching the end of the Premier League’s five-step investigation process for Rio Ngumoha’s signing.

Who will Liverpool sign this summer?
The Reds’ needs will be more than familiar to all by this stage. A new centre-half, No.6 and winger would be ideal additions. Potentially also a new left-back if Kostas Tsimikas makes a switch away from the club this summer.
The good news about the hunt for a holding midfielder is that it seems what we’re now looking for from the market has significantly changed.
The Athletic described Slot’s ideal midfielder as the following: “…comfortable receiving the ball under pressure, can recycle possession with simple passes and, consequently, can retain the ball in a crucial area of the pitch.”
Given the lack of elite-level No.6s available, this could very well see Liverpool turn to options within the club. Curtis Jones or Ryan Gravenberch anyone?

Both these options Jones and Gravenberch have previously failed to make the grade in the 6 position and are not up to it …look LFC again have left it TOO LATE MATE – forget all the BS hype – you either buy quality and pay for it or you scout someone who has the ability but is yet unproven, I am quite literally over this – it has been two years now this NEED FOR A TOP NOTCH #6 has been OBVIOUS…I would add to Slot’s requirements with can tackle and win balls in the middle back! YNWA (but without a top #6 you may well have to!)
Never bn so anxious abt the team nt settled yt & 17 days to go before the new season .The top teams just signed all players we gmhave bn mentioned with just slipped through r hands.Trying hard to convince us all ok bt it doesn’t feel lk it.plus we seem to be abt to lose a lt of Our Kloops team.Finding it sooooo hard to believe he is no longer with us.
Both Grav, and Jones are not better in the number 6 role than Endo or Mac so we still need a number 6.
Dithering over signing players cost us a Champions League place not long ago .
Matheus Nunes formerly of Wolves , now a Man City player was waiting for Liverpool to sign him and they left him hanging . Now Man City are looking to sell Nunes .
Andre Trindade is another player Liverpool obviously like but haven’t committed to , he’s a proper No6 a tackling machine , what’s the problem ? What’s stopping Liverpool signing Andre ? Liverpool have had plenty of successful Brazilians play for the club, and Andre can be signed for what could be a bargain price , Liverpool like bargains . Just get on with filling the gaps in the squad with the players we obviously need or we go into the new season at a disadvantage YET AGAIN .

true or Alan varela or frendrup or martin zubimendi why being stingy we are fed up 1right wing 1 dm and 1lcb o wingback and then we are good to go
So why are the Mancs selling Nunes? Because he isn’t good enough! Why would LFC buy cr*p just because they can… No one else has snapped up Andre… why? Just because he’s Brazilian doesn’t make him good enough!! Thank goodness you are not in Hughes’ role…
