Andoni Iraola's verdict after Liverpool's 4-2 defeat to Leeds in Chicago on Sunday was telling."Obviously it's not the result you want but I think [it was] probably the most useful friendly we played," he said. He will know as much too.At the very least, Liverpool need to bring in at least one name that can play at centre-back and potentially at right-back, given Conor Bradley is still "way off" a return.

Hopefully he puts me in midfield but if he needs me at right-back, happy to do that."Former Liverpool captain Phil Thompson told BBC Sport in Chicago that Iraola will rely on more experienced players, both old and new."You look back when Jurgen [Klopp] won the league and you had [Jordan] Henderson and [James] Milner. Someone like Szoboszlai has to step up too and I think he will."When BBC Sport spoke to Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan in New York, the message was very much that FSG will continue to invest when it comes to doing what is best to put the team in a place to win.With Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool have solid options in midfield.

There is positive news in that both Wataru Endo and Stefan Bajcetic are back in training while Harvey Elliott's next steps also remain to be seen.Liverpool enquired about Adam Wharton earlier in the year but they are not the only club interested in the Crystal Palace midfielder.One department where at least one more signing is guaranteed is up front, with PSG'S Bradley Barcola now Liverpool's primary target after they missed out on Yan Diomande. Liverpool are more willing to do a deal around the £100m mark, with Barcola open to a move to Anfield.Given the departure of Salah, expect to see more of 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha down the right flank.Ngumoha looked a lot more comfortable down his preferred left against Leeds but he has the attributes to be a force down both sides for a manager who wants his wingers to be able to play on both sides.Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz made encouraging starts to their pre-season but a decision needs to be made on Federico Chiesa, who wants to fight for his place at Liverpool despite links with a return to Italy.
