Van Dijk names the signing Liverpool need to make before transfer deadline
Virgil van Dijk has revealed the signing he wants Liverpool to make before the summer transfer window shuts. The Premier League champions have spent almost £300m on new signings so far this summer, bringing the likes of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez to Anfield. The heavy investment has, for many pundits, made Liverpool firm favourites to retain the Premier League trophy they lifted in Arne Slot's first season at the club. But Liverpool were handed a slight reality check on Sunday as they were beaten by Crystal Palace in the Community Shield. The Reds led twice through new signings Hugo Ekitike and Frimpong but Crystal Palace took the contest to penalties through Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – sign up, it's an open goal. Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson then saved two penalties and saw Mohamed Salah sky his effort as the Eagles won the Community Shield for the first time. Despite their sensational spending this summer, Liverpool remain open to completing further deals, having already failed with a £110m bid for Alexander Isak and expressing interest in Marc Guehi. Anfield captain Van Dijk has called on Liverpool's board to bolster the team's attacking options following the departure of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz. Nunez completed a £46.3m move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal earlier in the weekend, while Diaz joined Bayern Munich last month for £65.5m. Asked if he was hoping for more business before the transfer deadline, Van Dijk told talkSPORT: 'Well, we just lost Darwin, he went to Saudi and we lost Lucho, obviously he went to Bayern. 'I think there's always room for an attacker in order to strengthen us so let's see what the window brings in terms of the balance of the team.' Speaking more generally about Liverpool's Community Shield defeat, Van Dijk added: 'Obviously we wanted to win, it's a trophy that we were playing for. 'There were many good things from us in the game but there's also a lot of work to do and we need to get ready for the start of the Premier League now.' Liverpool boss Slot is less convinced about the needs for new signings to arrive at Anfield. 'I think we have more than more than enough options to be good enough to win the Community Shield,' he said. 'This is where I focus on myself. With the players we have we should be able to to win, to score. 'My last concern at the moment is our offensive quality. It's more… it's not a concern, but if I look at the amount of goals we've conceded in pre-season that's not of our standard.' Asked if he wanted a new defender to arrive at the club, Slot added: 'Now we've lost Jarell Quansah and that's one thing. 'But Unfortunately Conor Bradley, who's a right full-back and Joe Gomez who's a centre-back are injured. Then Ryan Gravenberch became a dad last night, he can also play really well as a centre-back. More Trending 'But if Joe is fit and Ryan is back and Wataru [Endo] can play there and the two we started today, then we're in a good place. 'So I think throughout the whole pre-season, Alisson needed to go to Brazil. Virgil was sick last week now Ryan for a very nice reason for him… but we had to miss him. 'It looks as if you lack something but if everybody is there I think we have a very strong squad.' Liverpool kick-start their Premier League title defence on Friday night against Bournemouth.

Revealed: Alejandro Garnacho's stance on possible Chelsea move after Man United set asking price for 'bomb squad' member - as Blues consider defensive signing
Alejandro Garnacho has set his mind on a move to Chelsea after Manchester United revealed their asking price. The Red Devils have been looking to offload Garnacho all summer, with the Argentine international one of the unwanted players placed into a 'bomb squad'. Garnacho was told by United boss Ruben Amorim to find a new club in May, after the winger was unhappy to start on the bench in the Europa League final. Chelsea hold strong interest in the 20-year-old, who is believed to be valued at £50million - significantly less than the £70m that United initially wanted. The Blues' hierarchy have no concerns over his character after doing their homework. In total Garnacho has played 144 games for United and has scored 26 goals, while he has provided 22 assists. He won the FA Cup with United in the 2023-24 campaign and the EFL Cup in the previous season. The Stamford Bridge club are still assessing whether to add another centre back for Enzo Maresca but intend to sell before making more buys. Nicolas Jackson remains an option for the likes of Newcastle while Christopher Nkunku is wanted by former club RB LEIPZIG as part of negotiations over Xavi Simons. Nkunku has a number of options but Chelsea would be open to reducing the fee for Simons by including the French forward in any deal. Leipzig are also keen on Chelsea's Tyrique George.

Chelsea fans send X-rated message to Mike Maignan after failed transfer talks
Chelsea held talks with AC Milan over a possible deal for Mike Maignan earlier this summer and he was serenaded by Blues fans during a friendly match between the two clubs Mischievous Chelsea fans teased Mike Maignan with a cheeky chant during Sunday's 4-1 friendly win over the French goalkeeper's AC Milan side at Stamford Bridge. Maignan, 29, emerged as a surprise transfer target for the Blues earlier this summer and talks over a potential deal were even held before Enzo Maresca and his team jetted off to the United States to compete in the Club World Cup, which they went on to win. Talks over a deal collapsed, though, and it has since been reported that Chelsea are content with their keeper options. And Chelsea fans threw their backing behind Robert Sanchez when Maignan and AC Milan played them on Sunday, chanting: "You're just a s*** Robert Sanchez." Sanchez ended the 2024-25 campaign as Chelsea's first-choice keeper and is expected to start the new season as Maresca's No 1. The Blues also have Filip Jorgensen and Mike Penders on their books, with the latter highly-rated and currently on loan at Strasbourg for the season. It was Sanchez who started in between the sticks on an afternoon to forget for Maignan and the Italian giants, with Chelsea going on to win their final warm-up match ahead of the new Premier League season 4-1. Goals from Joao Pedro and a brace from the Blues other new striker, Liam Delap, added to an eighth minute own goal from Andrei Coubis. Yousouff Fofana scored a consolation for Milan in the second half. Chelsea will be hoping to improve on last season's fourth-place finish after performing so well at the Club World Cup. And Maresca reckons his side are in rude health ahead of their season opener against Crystal Palace next Sunday. "I think the performance was very, very, very good until the red card,' the Italian said. "We started the way we wanted to start, intense and with a high tempo on and off the ball. "The red card changed a little bit the game but it's also normal [that the energy dropped a little] as Milan started pre-season on 4 July, 40 days ago, and this was their sixth friendly game. "For us, it's our second one. But overall, I'm very happy and now we start the Premier League." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
