ALEX SCOTT TO LIVERPOOL? WHY MAC ALLISTER MIGHT BE ON HIS WAY OUT!
Newsround with Dave Davis turns its attention towards Liverpool's evolving transfer plans, with one Premier League midfielder emerging as a particularly intriguing option.
Dave looks at Alex Scott's outstanding development at Bournemouth, Liverpool's reported interest and the significance of his existing relationship with Andoni Iraola. With Chelsea and Arsenal also mentioned, could Liverpool position themselves for a major summer move?
That discussion leads directly into the future of Alexis Mac Allister, whose numbers this season have been exceptional. His line-breaking passing has risen dramatically while his overall passing accuracy has also improved, leaving Dave to assess both his importance now and the longer-term contract situation
There's positive injury news too, with Hugo Ekitike targeting a November return to training following his Achilles rupture, although patience will be required before the Frenchman returns to his previous level.
Finally, Liverpool's defensive options come under the microscope. Could Jarell Quansah return, will Liverpool negotiate for Ronald Araújo, and where does reported interest in Jules Koundé fit?
Plus, Michael Olise, Kevin Schade and Liverpool's other emerging transfer possibilities.
