Make no mistake, this would be one of the most sensational transfers of all time. There would be shades of when Barcelona felt that Luis Suarez had no more left to offer, only for the Uruguayan to lead Atletico Madrid to the La Liga title.

Liverpool might have had a quiet couple of transfer windows this season, but that does not mean it hasn't been busy behind the scenes. The latest hire sees an expert in his field poached straight from Manchester City and brought to Anfield. Laurie Shaw is the next step in something of a hiring spree from Liverpool, initially triggered by the departure of Jurgen Klopp. Even before sourcing Arne Slot to replace the outgoing manager, FSG engineered the return of Michael Edwards in a backroom role.

Liverpool can now say with a good degree of confidence that it will win the Premier League title this season. Even so, Michael Owen has led a strange inquest into the true merits of the campaign — and Ibrahima Konate has now made the squad's feelings plain.

Anthony Gordon injected a degree of excitement into the closing days of Liverpool's transfer window. In what had been a quiet first summer for Arne Slot, the late possibility of signing the Newcastle winger kept interest high — but in the end, Gordon stayed put, ultimately making his feelings clear on a different move. It meant that Slot ended his first transfer window with only Federico Chiesa added to the ranks, plus a deal in place to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili the following summer.
