Liverpool latest: World Cup breakout star prepares for move as double signing agreed

 

 

Liverpool are expected to be busy in the weeks ahead as preparations ramp up ahead of the new season

 

Liverpool face a crucial few weeks in the transfer window as Andoni Iraola seeks to reshape the squad following a disappointing campaign last term. The Reds finished fifth in the Premier League and failed to reach the semi-finals of any competition, leading to the exit of Arne Slot and the hiring of former Bournemouth manager Iraola in his stead. 

 

 The Spaniard has already completed his opening acquisition by securing highly-rated Osasuna winger Victor Munoz in a £34million deal. He has also been joined by French centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, who officially finalised his switch to Merseyside on July 1 after Liverpool agreed a £55m arrangement with Rennes back in January

 

 But substantial additional activity is anticipated, particularly following the exits of Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah which have left considerable gaps in the squad. Sporting director Richard Hughes is understood to have prioritised recruiting a new right winger – though his own future has faced questions amid mounting speculation of a switch to Saudi Arabia.

 The teenage prodigy made history on Wednesday when he featured in the starting line-up against Ecuador, becoming the second youngest player to start a World Cup knockout fixture, behind only Brazil icon Pele. According to De Telegraaf, the Club Tijuana starlet is set for a switch to the Premier League, with Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all showing interest.

 

 Though the Reds may need to exercise patience, with visa requirements preventing Mora from relocating to England until he reaches 18 in October.

"In six months, during the winter transfer window, Gilberto Mora is going to take off [...] he's going to be a Premier League," TNT Sports' Mexico journalist Rodrigo Lara told AS Mexico. "I can't say which team...Today, after the match against Ecuador and after the England game, things are going to move forward for Gilberto Mora. The information I have is that Gilberto Mora will play in the Premier League."

 The Reds have already snapped up Iraola, Hughes and left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, while they have also been heavily linked with Brazilian forward Rayan. The roster of those making the journey from Dorset to Merseyside has now grown even longer after the club confirmed that Cherries coaches Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper will become part of Iraola's backroom staff at Anfield.

The duo, who both played for Bournemouth before transitioning into coaching roles, will join the first-team backroom staff following discussions with their former club. They will join forces with assistant coach Pablo de la Torre and first-team tactical analyst Tom Weber, both of whom also worked alongside Iraola during his time on the south coast.

  LIVERPOOL DEFENDER  TO LEAVE AS FIVE DEPARTURES NOW CONFIRMED Liverpool centre-back Rhys Williams is the latest player to confirm he will exit Anfield during the summer Rhys Williams has confirmed he will leave Liverpool this summer as the Reds continue to reshape their senior and Academy squads. Centre-back Williams, who has been at the club since under-10 level, made 19 first-team appearances having been thrust into Jurgen Klopp's starting line-up during 2020/21 following a succession of injuries at the heart of defence. Williams formed a late-season partnership with Nat Phillips that helped Liverpool secure unlikely Champions League qualification with five straight victories to end the campaign. However, the 25-year-old's last appearance came more than five years ago with his only squad involvement in the last three years coming when on the bench for the League Cup win over Southampton last September. Williams had a successful loan spell at Kidderminster Harriers before m...

After tamely relinquishing the Premier League title to Arsenal, while struggling defensively, in midfield and going forward throughout this term, major alterations are necessary. Links to players such as RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton have undoubtedly generated excitement among supporters. However, the ECHO examines four Liverpool players capable of establishing themselves as regular starters under Slot next season. Alexander Isak Antici...
