Jarrod Bowen: All you need to know about Liverpool target
Liverpool supporters are patiently awaiting Michael Edwards to strike in the transfer market again but there is now huge doubt and concern that the Reds may not spend again. Jurgen Klopp has already added Ibrahima Konate to the squad after paying his £34million release clause but activity has been quiet since then.
That's besides outgoings, an area Liverpool have been working hard on in a bid to raise some much needed cash.
Taiwo Awoniyi (£6.5million to Union Berlin), Marko Grujic (£10m to Porto) and Harry Wilson (loan to Fulham plus £10m obligation to buy) have all been shown the door.
More could now follow though and that puts extra pressure on owners FSG to spend.
Liverpool's defensive options are now looking solid, particularly at centre-back.
Yet in midfield, Gini Wijnaldum still needs to be replaced while another forward wouldn't go amiss.
There are three perfect options for what the Reds are now looking for and the deals are there to be done.

Furthermore, there is one player in particular who could be the perfect cover for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah when they head off to the Africa Cup of Nations.
Jeremy Doku showcased his sky-high potential when he caught the eye in Belgium Euro 2020 quarter-final defeat to Italy in Munich.
His quick feet, electric speed and skills really demonstrated just how special he could become.
Yet there's history with Liverpool and Doku, he was invited to Melwood in 2018 to look around and his father David later said: “Klopp explained how he saw a potential successor to Sadio Mane in Jeremy.”

Academy boss Steven Gerrard also showed them both videos of tactical stuff, Salah gave Doku a signed shirt while Mane, Wijnaldum and Simon Mignolet stopped to chat.
It's believed that Klopp sees Doku as the perfect future replacement for Mane and this could be the best time for Liverpool to bring him to Anfield.
It's still crazy to think that Liverpool are yet to sign a marquee No 9 since Klopp arrived back in 2015.
Instead, Roberto Firmino has done a fabulous job operating as the club's false-nine, a position he has mastered to perfection in truth.

But in Dusan Vlahovic, Liverpool could be making a worthwhile investment in their future.
The Fiorentina youngster could be available this summer and he provides different qualities to Firmino, something that Liverpool have been desperately in need of at times.
Signing one of the best young strikers in Europe would certainly go a long way amongst supporters and if the money is there, there is no reasons why the Reds should not want to get all three done...
