Welcome to the Athletic FC podcast with me, Ayo, Akimwaleri.

It's still only June, but Liverpool have already been busy in the transfer market.

Liverpool have agreed a deal with Baye-Lavacuzin to sign Jeremy Fringpong. Florian Verts is a red. What a huge deal for the

Premier League champions. Coming up, we'll break down on a slot, summer rebuild and ask, is there more to come?

Robertson was of interest to Athletico Madrid, and Simicass has also been linked with moves, but a deal

worth, I think, around £40 million and a player who we've all seen flourish since signing for Bournemouth,

a signing that was completed by Richard Hughes when he was sporting director at Bournemouth.

They've got Jeremy Fringpong on the other side and he'll compete with Connor Bradley and whoever else,

Joe Gomez, for the right back slot. Then of course the jewel in the crown, the apple of their
