Liverpool have moved quickly ahead of the summer to set up deals for the upcoming transfer window. The Reds are pressing forward with their plans to strengthen the squad and are now on the verge of making a move for a Brazilian star in the coming weeks.
Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes have settled on certain priorities for the squad ahead of the summer window, and are working accordingly.
Liverpool are all but confirmed to bring in Jeremie Frimpong as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s replacement, and are working hard to push a deal through for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz.
However, the club are still looking to bring in a new number 9, and it seems, the Reds have settled on making a move for a top Brazilian talent this summer.
Name the team Liverpool signed these players from in the 2010s?

Joao Pedro has been on Liverpool’s radar for a few months despite their deep interest in signing Alexander Isak, who Newcastle United will not sell.
Liverpool have also been tracking Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, but according to TEAMTalk, the Reds are prepared to pounce on Pedro this summer.
The Merseyside giants have been monitoring the striker, and he is a personal favourite of Football CEO Michael Edwards.
Liverpool’s interest in the Brighton striker is driven by Edwards, who has been tracking the striker since his days at Watford.
Brighton do not stand in the way of players who want to leave, and Pedro has an agreement with the club to move on from the Amex Stadium this summer.
The Seagulls are prepared to sell him if a club offer them a fee in the region of £59m in the upcoming transfer window.
A move to Liverpool appeals to him, and the Reds are preparing to make a bid for him soon.
