Liverpool are not resting on their laurels this summer as Richard Hughes looks to give Arne Slot the players he needs to kick on next season.
Liverpool won the Premier League title last season despite bringing just one player in all year in Federico Chiesa, but things are going to be different this summer.
Jeremie Frimpong has already signed for Liverpool along with Armin Pecsi, while Florian Wirtz is on his way to Anfield.
Liverpool aren’t thought to be done yet, with TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey predicting a “huge summer” on the transfer front for the Reds.
“Liverpool are going to have a huge summer, they are going to strike whilst the iron is hot,” Bailey exclusively told TBR Football.
Now, Liverpool have been praised for getting their hands on a “remarkable” young talent who “everyone” is raving about.

Liverpool praised for ‘really good deal’ for Armin Pecsi
The signing of Pecsi might have gone under the radar somewhat, but those with knowledge of Hungarian football have been saying great things about the 20-year-old.
For instance, Hungarian football expert Bence Bocsak has described the goalkeeper as a “remarkable” talent whose character and mentality have been praised by “everyone”.
In addition, Bocsak lauded Liverpool for striking a “really good deal” for Pecsi, who is a 2025 Golden Boy nominee alongside the likes of Dean Huijsen and Desire Doue.
“You only have to look at the Golden Boy nominations to see how big a prospect he is,” Bocsak said on BBC Radio Merseyside.
“It’s a no-brainer for Liverpool if you can bring in this level of talent.
“When you look at his stats, he’s prevented 14.33 goals during the whole of last season – remarkable statistics for a goalkeeper.
“If you can bring him in for this amount of money, it is a really good deal for Liverpool.
“He’s still only 20 years old. Everyone I’ve spoken to about him has spoken really highly of his character and mentality.”
Meanwhile, Liverpool journalist Lewis Steele said he spoke to a contact in Hungary who said Pecsi is an “unbelievable” talent for the future and could well shock some people.

What Liverpool have planned for Armin Pecsi
Pecsi made 30 appearances for Puskas Akademia last season as they finished second in the Hungarian top flight.
The 6ft 3in talent has prevented 14.33 goals in the Hungarian league and has made the most saves out of any goalkeeper (91) in the competition.
And Liverpool see him as a genuine contender for a first-team spot in the future, according to Bocsak.
“It will be a big change going from being first choice at one of the biggest clubs in Hungary to probably being third choice at Liverpool and playing for the under-21s, but I think it is a challenge he’s very much prepared for,” said Bocsak.
“Mentally he knows he’s in it for the long term – it is a big picture move for him. I think £1.5m in this modern era is nothing for any player, let alone a 20-year-old who is this highly rated.
“Liverpool have done really well because there were some other big clubs sniffing about.
“There were a lot of big European clubs interested but Pecsi chose Liverpool because he really liked what they sold him and, from what I understand, they do see him as a potential future number one goalkeeper.”
