Some have accused Liverpool<\/a> of being on the beach after wrapping up the Premier League<\/a> title earlier this month – but the Reds are certainly not resting on their laurels when it comes to the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n With a deal for Jeremie Frimpong all but done<\/a>, Liverpool are now said to be closing in on a monster transfer <\/a>for the right wing-back’s Bayer Leverkusen team-mate, Florian Wirtz, in what would be a huge statement of intent to their Premier League rivals.<\/p>\n But before any contracts are signed, there is the small matter of Arne Slot<\/a> and Co’s official coronation, which will take place after their season finale at home to Crystal Palace<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n With Liverpool poised to wrap up a season to remember, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest transfer news from Anfield…<\/p>\n READ MORE: Bayern Munich target \u00a368m Premier League star after Florian Wirtz transfer defeat<\/a>READ MORE: Four ways Liverpool persuaded Florian Wirtz to join that have ultimately convinced him<\/a>How Wirtz was sold move<\/p>\n Florian Wirtz was wowed by Liverpool’s ambition after talks over a potential transfer, it has been claimed.

The Scotland<\/a> international is likely to attract interest again this summer, thought Liverpool are not actively looking to sell.<\/p>\n That’s according to The Telegraph<\/a>, who confirm Everton’s interest.
