ARNE SLOT IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A BUSIER SUMMER THN HIS FIRST AT ANFIELD, WITH THE LIVERPOOL BOSS AIMING TO ADD QUALITY TO A SQUAD WHICH WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE TIWH TIME TO SPARE 05:00, 30 May
2025 Liverpool are closing in on their first summer signings as they look to prepare for a title defence. That's excluding the swoop for Giorgi Mamardashvili, whose arrival from
Valencia was confirmed last summer. There will be no move for Dean Huijsen despite early links, with the Bournemouth centre-back choosing Real Madrid. Huijsen's team-mate Milos Kerkez
looks to be Anfield-bound, though, with a fee of £45million mooted. The other full-back position is also going to be a priority, with Trent Alexander-Arnold on his way. That deal is more or
less done, though, with the Reds meeting Jeremie Frimpong's Bayer Leverkusen release clause. Fans will have their own opinions about what else needs to happen, though. That goes for
exits as well as arrivals, with Darwin Nunez among those who could move on in the coming weeks. Whatever happens, though, we'll have you covered. Here are _Mirror Football_ 's
latest transfer lines from around Anfield with the summer window just days away. READ MORE: Transfer news LIVE: Arsenal open Sesko talks, Delap snubs Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool

Liverpool don't want to lose the Irishman on the cheap. According to The Athletic, they want north of £20m for the keeper despite him entering the final year of his deal. Article

Kelleher told Optus Sport after the Reds' title win, indiciating he's ready to move on after Giorgi Mamardashvili's arrival. Brentford's interest comes as Bayer
Leverkusen continue to look at their current number one Mark Flekken. Leverkusen have appointed Erik ten Hag as their new manager, and current number one keeper Lukas Hradecky will turn 36
this year. WIRTZ TOLD HE'S MAKING RIGHT MOVE Former Liverpool and Germany midfielder Didi Hamann believes compatriot Florian Wirtz is making the right move by choosing the Reds over
other potential suitors. Wirtz is expected to join Liverpool in a club record move, worth upwards of £85m. "Florian Wirtz has made a decision. I believe it's the right one,"
the Champions League winner told Sky Sports Germany. "Things are really happening at Liverpool under Arne Slot. They'll sign, or want to sign, two or three other players, from what
I hear. That's why I think Wirtz has made a very good decision." FORMER REDS STAR EYED BY WREXHAM Former Liverpool striker Danny Ings is among the free agents being eyed by
Wrexham after their promotion to the Championship. The England international will leave West Ham this summer after two-and-a-half years in Easrt London. According to The Mail, Ings is one of
two Hammers linked with a move to North Wales, along with left-back Aaron Cresswell. Phil Parkinson's side have also been linked with a big-money wage offer to Fulham captain Tom
Cairney, though the Scot could yet remain at Craven Cottage. Ings, 32, found himself on the fringes in his final West Ham season with just one start in the league. He didn't make it
onto the pitch in any of the last 10 matches under Graham Potter, and wasn't even in the matchday squad for six of those games. Join our new WhatsApp community _and receive your daily
