Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich for around €30m in one of the biggest transfers of the summer window. The Spain midfielder is considered one of the best ball players in the world  and helped Bayern to the Champions League this season, beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final.

It could have knock-on effects in the squad with Barcelona trying to sign Gini Wijnaldum, the player most likely to lose out on minutes to Thiago should he arrive at Anfield imminently. 

Meanwhile could the club be set to sell Rhian Brewster, their talented young striker, to Sheffield United? Here are the latest stories surrounding Anfield as the Reds look to build on last season’s success.
