Liverpool returned to the field on Monday but it was not a happy return, as the club succumbed to a third Premier League defeat in seven games. The Reds led twice against Brighton but ultimately lost 3-2, with Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai getting on the scoresheet for Arne Slot’s men.
In transfer news, Liverpool is closing on a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen — he successfully underwent his medical earlier this week ahead of a $39 million transfer.
Talks are also under way with Bournemouth over the signing of Milos Kerkez, the Hungarian left-back who has impressed so much for the Cherries this season.
And another player who could make the switch to Anfield is Germany’s Florian Wirtz — Liverpool is said to be in a tug of war with Bayern Munich for the Leverkusen star after Manchester City pulled out of the race to sign him.
Regarding possible outgoings, Harvey Elliott said after the loss to Brighton that he must do what is best for his career this summer, after a season that saw him wait until May to make his first Premier League start.
