Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions with four games left in the season, but the club are keen to ensure that they do not stand still. A top midfield target is now set to choose a move to Liverpool over other clubs in the upcoming transfer window.
Arne Slot wants to carry out a major reshuffle of the squad, and the club are prepared to back him with funds to strengthen his hands in the summer.
The Liverpool manager is keen to bring in players for several areas of their squad, and signing a top midfielder is on the club’s agenda ahead of the next transfer window.
He wants more options in his midfield next season, and a top Premier League midfielder is now expected to choose a move to Anfield over other destinations in the coming months.

Adam Wharton is expected to leave Crystal Palace this summer, and the biggest clubs in the Premier League are keen to get their hands on the England midfielder.
Manchester United are among the clubs who are chasing the player, but Wharton is expected to choose a move to Liverpool as his game will suit Arne Slot’s style.
Mick Brown, a former Manchester United scout, insisted that his passing ability will add a different dimension to the Liverpool team, and their style of football will mask some of the deficiencies in his game.
He feels Wharton just suits the way Liverpool play their football, and it is no surprise that they are keen to take him to Anfield in the summer.
“Adam Wharton is a very, very talented player”, Brown told the Football Insider.
“He’s an excellent passer of the ball, he keeps it moving and plays a big role in the middle.
“Plus, he’s only young and he’s already an England international, so that ticks a lot of boxes.
“At Liverpool, he wouldn’t be required to sit as deep or break up play as much as he is at Palace.
“Personally, I have concerns that when the game is against them, he isn’t always the best and getting his foot in and the game can sometimes pass him by.
“But their scouts will be aware of that and they’ll know whether they think it’s an issue, because it’s very rare Liverpool are in situations like that.
“So his primary role would be to get on the ball and help them in possession – which he’s very good at.
“Certain players are suited to certain clubs and certain ways of playing, so the criticisms I have of his game at Palace would be far less of a problem at Liverpool.
“From what I’ve seen and heard, he is going to be one of the top targets in the summer.
“It won’t be easy to do, because Palace want to keep their best players and build on what they’ve done this season, so it could cost a huge fee for him to move.”
Liverpool are expected to table a £50m bid for Wharton, but Palace are expected to hold out for a fee in the region of £80m.
