Liverpool are yet to complete a signing this summer and another of their targets has just been snapped up.

The Reds are in no rush to back Arne Slot with new signings this summer. They are the only Premier League side yet to complete a signing.

On the pitch, there is plenty for Liverpool fans to be excited about – especially after an emphatic 3-0 win over Manchester United in pre-season.

But the lack of transfer business may be a concern as Slot looks to make his mark on the squad.

Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara and Adrian all left the club after the expiration of their contracts this summer and Liverpool are yet to source any replacements.

With Matip leaving, a new centre-back has been on Liverpool’s shopping list, but they have been unable to get a deal over the line and another of their targets has just been signed.

Liverpool beaten to Willian Pacho

One defender on Liverpool’s radar this summer was Eintracht Frankfurt’s Willian Pacho.

As per Graeme Bailey’s exclusive via TBR Football, Liverpool and Manchester United sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old in action last season.

Both Premier League sides sent staff to watch Pacho against Bayern Munich with the young defender emerging as one of the brightest centre-backs in Europe.
