Liverpool have made the biggest splash of the summer transfer window so far with theconfirmation of Florian Wirtz's arrival at Anfield. The transfer could see a British record fee paid with the package coming to £116million with add-ons included.
Wirtz already has some lofty targets to complete with his team-mates. “I would like to win everything every year! First of all, we have to do our work, I have to make my work," he said.
“In the end, we want to be successful. Last season they won the Premier League so my goal is for sure to win it again and also to go further in the Champions League. I’m really ambitious.”
With such ambition, it's no wonder the Reds have not been put off spending more in the coming days and weeks. Arne Slot hasalready seen the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong at Anfield, and ex-Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Wirtz sees a significant increase in spending after completing his medical on Friday.
But more business is set to be conducted in the coming days as Liverpool look to equip themselves with the ability to retain the Premier League title. Two deals could soon be completed: one in and one out.

Milos Kerkez is expected to travel to Merseyside on Tuesday to undergo his medical after Liverpool agreed a £40m fee with Bournemouth. The full-back is set to come in and provide strong competition to Andy Robertson.
Personal terms are already agreed for Dominik Szoboszlai's Hungary team-mate as the Premier League champions move to get another deal over the line. Kerkez's arrival could see Robertson mull a possible move to Atletico Madrid however.
Wirtz's arrival may not have been Liverpool's final dealing with Bayer Leverkusen this summer either. Defender Jarell Quansah is closing in on a £35m move to the Bundesliga side.
Reports suggest the transfer could be agreed in 24-48 hours with the former Bristol Rovers loanee having already offered his approval. Negotiations area already noted to be at their final stages.
An exit for the young defender in the coming days could see the Reds move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi. The ex-Chelsea youngster's deal is set to expire in 12 months time.
A striker also remains a target for Liverpool, particularly if Darwin Nunez departs as expected. Newcastle ace Alexander Isak is among those admired but a deal would not be easy.
