Michael Edwards gets his way again in four Liverpool transfer deals
There has been a common theme running through the deals done by Liverpool so far in the current transfer window.

But it was the presence of a 20% sell-on clause in each agreement that represented arguably their most noteworthy element.
Today saw the news that Marko Grujic and Taiwo Awoniyi are leaving - to FC Porto and Union Berlin - for a combined total of around £17m. Both sales are understood to contain 10 per cent sell-on clauses.
What was once a rarely seen quirk has Liverpool's transfer business has become routine since Michael Edwards was appointed to the role of sporting director almost five years ago.

Liverpool fans finally got to see the first signing of the summer in action as Ibrahima Konate made his debut for the Reds in their 1-1 draw with VfB Stuttgart.
For many, it was the first sight of the £36m man, who Jurgen Klopp pried away from RB Leipzig shortly after the conclusion of the Premier League season.

His burst of pace and recovery had Liverpool fans in awe on social media.
Here is the full story.
