Is there still business for Liverpool to conduct before the transfer deadline?

Down to the wire?

00:00 On Liverpool, what can you tell us about the recent ongoings and what we might expect as we get close to this deadline?

00:10 I think we can definitely see one more coming in at least. Jürgen Klopp after Taro Endo,

00:17 Bassam from Stuttgart last week, obviously a little bit of a left-field one,

00:22 but by all accounts he was one of the top defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga.

00:27 If he was five or six years younger, you'd be thinking the pool would have pulled off a real coup,

00:33 but because he's 30, it just doesn't go against the policy that FSG usually operate with.

00:40 For £15 million, £16 million, it's probably very low risk to be honest.

00:47 He's probably not on massive wages as well.

00:50 The sort of money that Jordan Henderson or Fabinho would have been on certainly, so that's another boost as well.

00:57 You've got to think about that. Apparently, it looks like he's coming to be a starter.

01:03 He's 30, so a decent bit of business.

01:06 You would think that another maybe Paul McPhail would come in after Henderson and Fabinho leave.

01:13 Someone who's a little bit younger who can maybe learn on the job a little bit more,

01:18 who can pick the brains of a few of the more experienced players, Ryan Gravenberch.

01:23 He's one who's linked. He's had a tough time.

01:26 A Bayern Munich, a Chet Thakore, a Crystal Palace.

01:29 Might be a little bit out of Liverpool's price range potentially.

01:33 He's only had one Premier League season.

01:36 For the price, he'd put BCL, Parliament and Fulham.

01:41 For what's being mooted, £60 million for someone who's 28.

01:45 That's a little bit steep, especially with the Endo deal coming in.

01:49 Definitely another centre midfielder.

01:51 Then, depending on the budget, maybe Liverpool might look to strengthen at the back as well.

01:56 Get in on the left-sided centre back, which they've wanted throughout the window.

02:03 In terms of outgoings, Jürgen Klopp said he can't see any other players leaving,

02:08 which was a little bit of a surprise for me because you've got someone like Nath Phillips

02:12 who has barely played last season.

02:16 You were thinking if the right half comes in that he will go.

02:20 Karim Kelleher, the second-choice goalkeeper, he'll want to go and play first-team football.

02:27 Jürgen Klopp seems to think that he'll be staying.

02:30 Probably a chance in Europa League will be given to him.

02:34 Then probably a few of the other youngsters, some of the better youngsters, might go out on loan as well.

02:40 It should be an interesting one.

02:42 I think what we can say is expect the unexpected.

02:45 When you're putting £111 million off for Moises Caicedo,

02:50 and what happens with Endo coming in that no-one expects,

02:55 anything could happen pretty much.
