By the end of June, the Reds had wrapped up a club-record £116million deal for Florian Wirtz, secured Jeremie Frimpong as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, and signed Milos Kerkez for £40m.

Arsenal have had a busy summer so far, signing as many as six players including Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The Gunners currently are eyeing Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze but face a hurdle in the form of defending champions Liverpool.

Liverpool's interest in English defender Marc Guehi could be a major blow for Arsenal in their reported pursuit of Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze.
