Liverpool have a list of three very workable striker targets, with a fourth still an option, while the Reds prepare to accept a loss on a wantaway star.

A deal for Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez “is going to happen” as Liverpool close in on the signing of Florian Wirtz, according to reports. The Reds have made a quick start to the summer transfer market after Arne Slot guided Liverpool to their 20th English top-flight title in his first season at Anfield.

Arsenal would also like to add a wide player. As mentioned in The Athletic’s Transfer DealSheet on May 16, the La Liga pair of Nico Williams and Rodrygo is of particular interest. Arsenal’s coaching staff are huge fans of both, but a deal for either player would present some financial challenges. There is also interest in Anthony Gordon.
