Fabio Carvalho was the Reds’ first signing of the summer before Darwin Nunez followed as part of a record-breaking deal.
Liverpool have acted swiftly and efficiently this summer to reinforce key areas.
Signing a new forward was imperative as Sadio Mane is set to soon leave the club.
Carvalho reinforces both the attack and midfield with his versatility viewed as a key trait while his movement and finishing will freshen up the side.
Meanwhile, adding Calvin Ramsay to the side will make sure Trent Alexander-Arnold will have competition.
Liverpool have agreed £6.5m deal for Calvin Ramsay.
Takes summer spending close to £100m – and CONCLUDES incomings in this window.

Paul Joyce is not the only reliable Liverpool journalist to report that the Reds’ spending this summer is set to come to an end.
David Maddock reports that with spending this summer now close to £100M, Liverpool have concluded their summer incomings.
While that may be the case for now, it’s also entirely possible that Liverpool are making it appear publicly as though they’re done with making new signings to bring down the cost of potential new additions.
With the Merseysiders spending an initial £64m with £21m to follow in add-ons for Darwin Nunez alone, the cost of signing a new midfielder could skyrocket.
But by making it appear as though they’re down with spending, it could help Julian Ward in negotiations for the likes of Jude Bellingham.
Calvin Ramsay will cost Liverpool a reported fee of around £4m up front with add-ons taking the deal to £6.5m.
After conducting a medical, Ramsay will sign a deal until 2027.
#LFC have agreed a deal with Aberdeen to sign Calvin Ramsay. £4m upfront fee with £2.5m in add-ons. Will sign a five-year contract.
Could undergo medical this weekend and will be with the first team for pre-season.
