Liverpool returned to action on Monday, facing Brighton, but things did not go to plan as the Reds succumbed to a third Premier League defeat in seven games. The Reds led twice 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 (£30 million) switch. And talks are also thought to be underway for the signing of Milos Kerkez, the Hungarian left-back who has impressed so much for Bournemouth this season.
Florian Wirtz is also of interest to Richard Hughes. Liverpool is now said to be in a tug of war with Bayern Munich for the Bayer Leverkusen star because Manchester City has pulled out of the race to sign him. Staying in the Bundesliga, Benjamin Sesko, the RB Leipzig striker, is being linked as well.
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. That might mean him moving on with plenty of interest in his signature.
