Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has been working on several deals ahead of the end of the season as he pushes to improve Arne Slot’s title-winning squad. The Reds are set to make an early statement of intent by bagging a top target even before the current campaign ends.
Hughes has been tasked with the tough job of improving a squad that won the Premier League this season, and he has gone to work early on trying to secure a few deals.
Liverpool are shopping in a small pool of players where several other clubs are interested in getting deals done, so it is key that the Reds make some early decisions.
It is now emerging that the early work that Hughes and his recruitment team are said to have done has paid off, and the Reds are now likely to secure a new signing before the end of the season.

The Reds are set to sign a top star early in the window
Dean Huijsen is set to leave Bournemouth this summer, with several clubs in talks with his representatives over a move in the coming weeks.
Chelsea have made a financially lucrative contract offer to the defender, and even Real Madrid are also pushing to sign the centre-back in the upcoming transfer window.
Liverpool have also made an offer to the Spaniard, and according to Fabrizio Romano, they want the defender to decide before the end of May.
The Reds want the deal wrapped up early and are pushing the Bournemouth star to decide his next club even before the current season ends officially.
He has a £50m release clause, and Bournemouth are already making moves in the market to sign a replacement for Huijsen this summer.
Liverpool hope that the defender will choose them in the coming weeks.
