In a summer window dominated by Liverpool’s midfield revamp, their most important performer in the middle of the park in recent weeks has been the unheralded new addition. The Reds were always going to use the off-season to bolster in such a key area, a project accelerated not only by the departure of Jordan Henderson, but that of Fabinho too.
Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai joined from Brighton and RB Leipzig, respectively, and the duo were expected to be the first of many to come through the Anfield door. However, after announcing the signing of the latter at the beginning of July, all went quiet on the midfield front. That’s not to say there weren’t rumours of potential incomings on Merseyside.
