Arne Slot’s first summer transfer window as manager of Liverpool was a quiet one.

The Dutchman will be looking to put his mark on his squad a year on, as a busy summer approaches.

Federico Chiesa was the only addition to the Reds first team roster last season, signing on from Seria A giants Juventus for £12.5 million.

Valenica goalkeeper Girogi Mamardashvili was also signed, but was sent back on loan to Valencia and will join up with Liverpool next season.

The Georgian goalkeeper looks set to fill the No.2 goalkeeper role at the club with Caoimhin Kelleher future at the club uncertain.

With the goalkeeper department not a particular area of concern, it will instead be the backline that is set to undergo significant change.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has made the right-back spot his since bursting into the team in 2017, seems destined for Real Madrid resulting in Liverpool either bringing in a right-back to replace him, or trusting in Conor Bradley.

A key part of Liverpool’s backline is also Virgil Van Dijk, and whilst talks are reportedly progressing well, no confirmation has been made to calm Liverpool nerves as of yet.

Liverpool have been repeatedly linked to AFC Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez over the last few weeks, as an aging Andy Robertson has struggled at times this season.

The Hungarian left-back has massively impressed this campaign, becoming a key figure for the Cherries as they find themselves in 10th place currently with a big opportunity to qualify for European football next season.

GiveMeSport understands that despite Liverpool potentially losing Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer, their main priority is to sign a new left-back.

The report goes on to state that the Reds have faith in youngster Conor Bradley, and although it’s not guaranteed that they won’t add another right-back to their ranks, left-back recruitment is part of the bigger goal.

Kerkez will definitely be a player Liverpool will be keeping an eye on as the transfer window opens at the end of this season.

There is a specific onus to bring in defensive reinforcements after several injuries to Liverpool’s full-backs over the course of the campaign have gone on to have negative consequences for the team, despite their overly successful season.
