The summer transfer window isn't even two weeks old and some Liverpool fans are getting twitchy.

New head coach Arne Slot has finally be unveiled, but Liverpool's transfer business is yet to get underway as several clubs complete a flurry of deals before the PSR deadline on June 30th.

Liverpool, though, have no such spending worries and it means the Reds can plan carefully in the market.



They've been doing just that, with Slot admitting he speaks to sporting director Richard Hughes on a daily basis as they plan improvements to the squad.

But with several clear positions Liverpool could strengthen this summer, and links with players continuing every day, just who should the Reds be targeting in the window?

In the same interview, he shared how he hopes to represent his homeland in this summer's Olympics in Paris, which would essentially rule him out for all of pre-season.

If that's not enough to make you realise how down to the bare bones Liverpool are at number six, nothing will.

The Reds do need another centre-back, as my colleagues argue.

After a year without, it's time to go and get one.

Liverpool's clear priority should be at centre-back.

The Reds might have a number of positions they need to fill this summer, with the forward line and central midfield too areas about which we've seen a lot of discussion.

We've seen Liverpool take risks like that before and it's almost never paid off.

Liverpool's clean sheet against Wolves on the final day of the 2023-24 season was their first in the Premier League since March 2, so if that doesn't tell you that the Reds might need a bit of tightening up at the back then I don't know what will.

Ibrahima Konate has not fully convinced me that he is the man to lead Arne Slot's defensive line once Virgil van Dijk calls it a day, so there is certainly room for someone to prepare to take on that responsibility.

The Japan international's arrival at Anfield came after Chelsea had pipped Liverpool to the signings of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo.

And if you date back 12 months earlier, Real Madrid beat the Reds to the signing of Aurelien Tchouameni in June 2022; showing that Liverpool's transfer gurus have been aware for several years that a new No.6 is required at Anfield.

That same opportunity can't be missed this summer.
