Much of Arne Slot's squad are currently on international duty but will soon return as the Reds hope to continue their fine form in the Premier League when they face Southampton

French side Lyon has been handed a provisional relegation over its financial issues. The club's star man Rayan Cherki has been linked with Liverpool in recent months.

Liverpool have identified an ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah, should the Egyptian wish to leave the club this summer. Salah - ranked at no.19 in FourFourTwo's list of the best Premier League players of all time - is out of contract in 2025 and rumours have suggested the 32-year-old could be on his way to Saudi Arabia.

Liverpool could receive a boost in their hopes of keeping hold of Mohamed Salah after one of the top European sides linked to Egyptian are reported to be bowing out of the race to sign him.
