Premier League clubs have always been big players in the summer transfer window, and although the progress of the recruitment of various teams has been slow this season due to the impact of the Financial Fair Play Act, there are still two teams that have spent more than 100 million, namely Villa and Manchester United. In addition, Premier League promotion Mapswich also has nearly 80 million euros of spending, and last season's champions Manchester City and Arsenal are also relatively silent, but at least they have officially announced new signings, but Liverpool has not moved so far.
Liverpool's uniforms have rarely been as quiet as this summer window, and fans have been disappointed. Of course, there is still more than a month before the transfer window closes, and Liverpool is also stepping up the work of bringing in reinforcements, especially the two positions of central defender, defensive midfielder and striker, which the team urgently needs to strengthen. Although it will not be as refreshing as last season's finalisation of McAllister and Szobosloy, Liverpool's new signings will not be absent. Now there are two blockbuster recruits, and they are very close to joining the team.
Liverpool's new boss Slote has decided to bring Netherlands Heitinga into the coaching staff, making it very easy for the team to sign West Ham striker Dukus. Dukus is a target for Liverpool's attack, scoring 14 goals and providing six assists for West Ham last season, and is an important firepower in West Ham's attack. Dukus has just joined West Ham from Ajax, so the two sides still have four years left on his contract, and it will be difficult to bring him in. However, Heitinga was Moyes's assistant this season and also worked with Dukus during the Ajax period, so depending on Heitinga's relationship, Dukus is very likely to join Liverpool, but Liverpool still have to pay a release fee of 85 million pounds.
Another attacker to replace Salah is Japan international Kenei Kubo. The transfer is closer to the real situation in the Japanese media, with one of the informed reporters saying that the possibility of Kubo Kenei joining Liverpool now is very high, with an 80% chance of a successful signing. The specific transfer fee has been previously reported and will be as high as 65 million euros, which is also the termination fee between Kubo and Real Sociedad. The contact between the two sides has now been confirmed, and there is still a certain gap between Kubo Kenei's current level to replace Salah, but fortunately, he is still young.
Liverpool is finally about to break the silence, from 0 signings to directly spending 150 million to buy two strikers, such a big purchase is enough for them to close the gap with Manchester City and Arsenal. Of course, Liverpool's problems now are not just in the forward line, with Thiago retiring and Matip leaving, there are also gaps in Liverpool's midfield and central defence. It is also quite possible that Liverpool could sign just one striker and then use the rest of the budget to bring in defensive midfielders and central defenders.
