Liverpool have started the transfer window with a statement of intent with one high profile pundit very impressed.
Football is a fickle industry in that heroes can quickly become villains and vice versa. It is also a sport of divided opinions but few would argue about the work that Liverpool have done so far.
There is still a lot of work to do, however, when the record deal for Florian Wirtz might not be the signing of the summer, Liverpool and their followers have every right to be feeling smug with so much of the transfer window still to run.
Liverpool’s transfer business impresses Gary Lineker
It is an opinion shared by Gary Lineker who, speaking on The Rest is Football Podcast, who has praised the recruitment that has been completed so far: “The transfer news really and Liverpool have been very impressive so far, I think, with the signings that they've done.
“They've just completed Florian Wirtz for £116 million quid. It's a lot of dough from Bayer Leverkusen, but he's a wonderfully talented player. Kerkez, Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for around 40 million.
“They joined Jeremy Frimpong who signed a couple of weeks ago, all three worth just under 200 million quid.
“It's obviously a lot of money for this, but he's probably the best out and out, or one of the best out and out attacking playmakers in the world right now. I think the fact that Frimpong had already signed, played a massive part because they're best mates. So, that definitely had an impact in terms of goal contributions for Bayer Leverkusen.”
Who could be next for Liverpool?
There are two key positions where Liverpool still need to pay attention to with one having a clear favourite to be signed before the transfer window closes.
The most likely target appears to be Marc Guehi who is linked with Liverpool and has been for some time, his contract status also means that Crystal Palace are expected to cash in.
Given the signings that have been made so far and the work that has been done by Liverpool’s recruitment team, there should be nothing to worry about.
