Liverpool’s right-back situation is becoming one of the most fascinating parts of the transfer window. The club like several options, including Marco Palestra, Michael Kayode and Oscar Mingueza, but there is a clear reluctance to pay top money while Jeremy Frimpong, Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley remain on the books. The issue is not whether Liverpool admire the players, it is whether spending €50m on another full-back makes sense when the squad could end the season with four players capable of playing there.

Liverpool’s transfer summer has properly burst into life, and this Transfer Show captures the chaos, excitement and uncertainty of a day dominated by plane tracking, insider info and growing expectation around Andoni Iraola’s arrival. The show then shifts into the major transfer story of the day, Liverpool stepping up their pursuit of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande. The transcript makes clear that Liverpool are believed to be in a strong position on the player side, but that Leipzig’s valuation, reportedly in excess of €130m, makes the deal far from straightforward.
