Liverpool are expected to be busy in the remaining two weeks of the transfer window.
There are plenty of loose ends that need sorting out one way or another and deals can still be made.

A lot of work has been put into the different targets that still haven't made their way to Anfield yet and once encouragement is offered to negotiate terms, then things could be wrapped up quickly.

The general feeling is that at least one more player will join the Reds, with talks expected to speed up over the next few days, as both clubs recognise that time is running out to get things all finalised.
Guehi to Liverpool is expected to happen
In a video posted to BBC Sport's transfer blog, their senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel gave a positive update on Marc Guehi's future, giving his opinion on whether a move could still take place.
He said: "Liverpool and Crystal Palace have held discussions about a possible £35m deal for Guehi to go to Anfield before the transfer deadline. There is still not agreement, but those talks should accelerate in the next few days, but the success of that deal hinges on whether the chairman Steve Parish sees Liverpool's deal and their valuation of the player as enough to let their captain go.
"It may be that Parish decides that the deal isn't enough, and the fee isn't enough, and it may be more valuable for him to stay until the end of the season and the 12 months until his contract runs out than it would actually to recoup the money. There's a lot to get done in that deal, but there are legs in it, and if I were a betting man, then I'd put money on that deal to get done before the transfer window closes."
As such, there is certainly room for optimism. Despite the fact that the player is still regularly playing for the Eagles, he's still interested in going elsewhere and the clubs are still engaging in talks.
Giovanni Leoni's arrival on Merseyside has been looked at as separate to the Guehi interest, primarily because the players are at different stages in their careers and their development.ace
The Italian is a significant scalp to have secured and he will play a role in Arne Slot's setup throughout the season, but Guehi is a transfer that Liverpool be still be desperate to finalise.
At 25, he's yet to enter the prime of his career and the leadership skills he can offer the team will be huge for the Reds, giving Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate a bit of a breather in defence.
Tactically, Liverpool will feel they can improve their defence straight away, but the addition of Guehi just gives the club more options. He's likely to play a substantial role in the team when he joins.
So even though we're just two weeks away from deadline day, it appears as though everything is being taken care of and in a few days, we'll hopefully get the update that an agreement is in place.
