Liverpool’s transfer window this summer has been one for the ages – potentially going down as one of the biggest summers in the history of any side in England’s top-flight.
Before deadline day commenced, Arne Slot had already spent just shy of £300m, as he looked to build on his Premier League triumph during his debut campaign in the role.
Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitiké and Giovanni Leoni have all completed their respective moves to Anfield – subsequently bolstering all areas of the pitch.
It’s clear the hierarchy have wanted to back the Dutchman after his success in the early days of his tenure on Merseyside, but looks set to continue before tonight’s 7pm deadline.
Numerous players are still on the club’s radar, with Slot and the hierarchy needing to work rapidly to get deals completed before the summer window slams shut.
The latest on Liverpool’s deal to sign Guehi
In recent hours, Liverpool’s move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi has progressed rapidly – leading to a £35m transfer being agreed between the two clubs.
It’s now been reported that the player is having his medical in London to complete his deal before the deadline, further improving the club’s already impressive backline.
However, he’s not the only Premier League player currently in their sights, with Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers another talent the club are considering, according to journalist Matt Thielen.
He claims that the Reds are assessing a late move for the England international, especially after Harvey Elliott agreed a deal to join Unai Emery’s side earlier today.
Any deal would be an expensive one though, with his current employers currently demanding a fee in the region of £80m to offload one of their star men this summer.
Why Liverpool’s latest target would be perfect for Isak
Alexander Isak looks set to be the most expensive player in English football history – with the saga for his move to join Liverpool finally set to come to a positive conclusion.
The Reds agreed a £125m fee with Newcastle United for the Swedish international’s signature late last night – subsequently joining for more than Wirtz did earlier in the window.
The 25-year-old has been on Merseyside all day completing his proposed transfer to join Slot’s side, with just a formal announcement left until the player’s transfer can be confirmed.
Despite the massive array of attacking talent already on the books, the Swede could be further bolstered in his attempts to be a success during his time at Anfield.
A move for Rogers would offer the club-record signing a further presence around him in the final third – with the England international having the tools to provide him with key opportunities in front of goal.
His stats from his time at Villa last season highlight the talent he possesses when in possession, with such a move being yet another statement of intent from the hierarchy.
Rogers, who has been labelled “phenomenal” by Lee Hendrie, registered 2.1 passes into the final third per 90 in the Premier League last season – highlighting his ability to progress the ball into dangerous areas.

Such a tally would hugely benefit Isak upon his move to Anfield, subsequently allowing him to build on his impressive tally of 23 Premier League goals in 2024/25.
The Villa star also notched 2.1 carries into the final third per 90, achieving a 48% take-on success rate – subsequently able to drive with the ball into forward areas before teeing up the Swedish international.
The Englishman’s talents are further reflected in his tally of 1.7 passes into the opposition box per 90, further showcasing his sensational ability when transitioning the play in the opponent’s half.
£80m would be another mammoth transfer fee splashed by the Reds board, but it’s one that could make the side an unstoppable force – strengthening their grip on the current crown.
If he can replicate similar stats alongside Isak on Merseyside, the pair would be able to build a deadly partnership that would massively improve their title chances throughout 2025/26.
