Liverpool have wasted no time turning their focus to future glory after wrapping up the Premier League title with a dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham.

According to Slot has already identified a three-player shortlist that could headline their summer spending. Reinforcements are expected at both ends of the pitch, with a new centre-forward and additions to the backline topping the agenda.
Bournemouth’s promising left-back Milos Kerkez and young centre-back Dean Huijsen, who has spent the season impressing on loan, are among the defensive targets under serious consideration. Meanwhile, Liverpool are also keeping close tabs on Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, with the Frenchman seen as a potential option to bolster the frontline. While the focus appears to be on bolstering the defence and attack, club sources indicate that strengthening the midfield has not been ruled out.
