Liverpool are still identifying areas of their squad that would need strengthening next summer as Arne Slot looks to script a Premier League-winning campaign in his first season at Anfield.
The Reds are still assessing their squad but they are expected to sign a striker, defender and defensive midfielder as priorities for the next summer transfer window.
However, there are other areas of the squad they could strengthen based on departures and signing a left-back is believed to be on their agenda for the end-of-the-season market.
Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is believed to be a top target due to Richard Hughes’ prior relationship with the player but the Reds are also looking at other left-back options.
Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri is also believed to be towards the top of Liverpool’s shortlist with Wolves almost certain to sell him next summer.
However, the competition for his signature is set to be significant and Manchester United are now believed to be in the race for him.
