Liverpool might have lost Trent Alexander-Arnold but they are still hopeful of having a huge transfer window to help retain their title as they bid to close deals for Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirt

Real Madrid have joined Liverpool in the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, with Xabi Alonso eager for a reunion in Spain.
