Although midfield was an area in need of improvement, the club have now added a solid backup to Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz…

His first attempt at a cup commences in September, with Liverpool being one of seven Premier League clubs entering the competition at the third-round stage.

Despite being raised an Evertonian, he became as staunchly Red as they come, even admitting he always put his club career before his England prospects. So it was intriguing to hear which other clubs in the division might have appealed…
