**Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola will know the importance of making the right signings this summer, and an exciting transfer update has now emerged.**
Iraola has been tasked with taking over the mess that Arne Slot left at Anfield, with the Dutchman suffering a hugely disappointing second season in charge.
Victor Munoz has become Liverpool’s first signing of the new era, joining from Osasuna, but that just needs to be the start of their summer transfer business.
New additions are badly needed all over the pitch, with the Reds looking short of quality and depth last season, and it looks as though Iraola has it all planned out.
According to [_Football Insider_](https://www.footballinsider247.com/liverpool/sources-liverpools-five-man-wishlist-as-late-transfer-blitz-planned), the Spaniard is “laying the groundwork for a flurry of late transfers” ahead of next season, with the 2026 World Cup arguably getting in the way until then.
In fact, a late “blitz” in the summer looks to be on the cards, with “two new attackers, one central midfielder, one left-back and one right-back” all said to be “on the club’s wishlist.”
**A vital summer for Liverpool and Andoni Iraola**
--------------------------------------------------
This feels like such a pivotal summer for Liverpool, who must find their verve again in the Premier League next season, challenging for the title.
For that to happen, a host of new signings have to arrive in the positions mentioned above, with Iraola bringing in the right players to suit his system and style of play.
The fact that a couple more attackers are being eyed up as well as Munoz is encouraging, with a winger on the opposite flank and a backup centre forward ideal.
A central midfielder is also vital, with Adam Wharton and Alex Scott feeling like standout options, bringing the youth and quality that was too often lacking for Liverpool in that area in 2025/26.
Full-back additions are key, too, especially right-back, with Conor Bradley still out injured for the foreseeable future, and Jeremie Frimpong doing little to suggest that he is the long-term answer in that position.
Liverpool must nail their summer transfer business, or risk falling behind their rivals, and it is going to be so interesting to see how their squad looks at the end of August.
