It’s a Premier League matchday for Liverpool as Arne Slot’s side start their defence of their title tonight (Friday). They kick off the campaign with a home match against AFC Bournemouth (8pm kick-off).
The game could see some players make their competitive debut for the Reds. But despite the club being active so far, there is expected to be more business between now and the end of the window.
With the summer window in full swing. Speculation continues over potential incomings and outgoings, with Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak a name who continues to dominate headlines.
With that in mind, the ECHO takes a look at some of the latest stories doing the rounds at Anfield.
Alexander Isak ‘stance’
Liverpool will only return to the table with Newcastle United over a potential deal for Alexander Isak if they believe that a deal will be done, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
The Reds saw a bid of around £110 million turned down by the Magpies earlier in the summer, and are not planning to return with another bid unless Newcastle’s stance softens.
Speaking on the Born N’ Red podcast, Jacobs said: “Liverpool if they’re back (in talks with Newcastle) are only coming to collect Alexander Isak, they’re not coming to be speculative, they’re not coming for a back and forth.
“Liverpool are only going to come back to the table if they know that this (Isak) is happening.
“If there is a development club-to-club, I think Liverpool fans can get very excited, very quickly.”
Midfielder deal confirmed
It has been confirmed that young midfielder Luca Stephenson has signed a new deal with Liverpool before rejoining Scottish Premiership side Dundee United on loan.
The 21-year-old spent last season on loan with the Scottish club, winning the Young Player of the Season award. He made 34 appearances, scoring three goals.
Responding to the transfer, Dundee boss Jim Goodwin said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Luca back to Tannadice. He made a tremendous impact last season, not just in terms of performances, but in the mentality and energy he brought to the group every single day.”
“Even when he was struggling physically, he gave everything for the badge – that tells you all you need to know about his character. Luca’s return was a priority for us this window – he brings something unique in terms of his leadership, versatility and understanding of how we want to play.”
