Chelsea £58 million transfer confirmed as Man United move for Liverpool 'target'

Liverpool have endured a difficult week in the transfer market.

The Reds had been one of the busier clubs earlier in the summer, completing the signings of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. But Liverpool tried, but ultimately failed, to bring both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to the club last week.

"I've instantly felt the love from you all despite us not achieving our shared goals. I'll never forget the belief the club and Saints all around the world showed me and I hope I was able to repay the faith you put in me.

"I would especially like to thank all my teammates and all staff members within the club involved closely or not for putting your arms around me since the day I walked through the Staplewood Campus and for all the daily work and help behind the scenes making me become a better person, athlete
