Arne Slot’s side will be looking to get back to winning ways after Sunday’s shock 3-2 defeat against Fulham.It was just the second time the Reds have been beaten in the Premier League this season, after Nottingham Forest ran out 1-0 victors in September.

With the top-flight title still in sight, Liverpool can move one step closer to being crowned as champions.Despite losing against Fulham, the Reds remain 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League with seven games to go after Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at Everton.

It means that Slot’s men can still win the title by the end of the month, though that requires the Gunners to drop points.Elsewhere, the rumour mill has already started regarding the summer transfer window and how Liverpool are going to strengthen.

With this in mind, we have taken a look at the latest rumours.Summer transfer claimLiverpool will reportedly prioritise signing another left-back rather than an additional right-back, regardless of whether Trent Alexander-Arnold stays at the club.That’s according to GIVEMESPORT, who are reporting that Liverpool still prioritise signing a left-back over a right-back this summer despite Alexander-Arnold being linked with a move to Real Madrid.

That decision, according to the report, is because of the club’s faith in Conor Bradley.The ECHO understands that Liverpool are interested in 21-year-old Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez while keeping tabs on a number of other potential options ahead of the forthcoming transfer window, which many believe will see Arne Slot overhaul his squad.Elliott ‘asking price’According to The Newcastle Chronicle, it will cost Newcastle United, or any other suitor, a total of £40m to land Harvey Elliott’s signature this summer.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a move away from Liverpool after struggling for regular game time since Arne Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp last summer.In fact, Elliott hasn’t started a single Premier League game this season.

He has played just 618 minutes of first-team football across all competitions, scoring four goals and claiming two assists.And the Magpies have since been notified that it will take £40m to prise Elliott away from Anfield in the summer transfer window.

The England under-21 international, who joined the Reds from Fulham in July 2019, has played 141 times for Liverpool since breaking into the first-team squad.
