Report claims Liverpool have chosen to ‘pass on deals’ for ‘easy’ Premier League trio

Liverpool-linked Kalvin Phillips looks at the ball

A report has claimed that Liverpool chose to pass on three ‘easy’ transfers this summer with the Reds refusing to bring in midfield ‘stop-gaps’.

Jurgen Klopp’s recruitment team have wrapped up deals for Fabio Carvalho, Darwin Nunez and Calvin Ramsay with reports insisting that the Merseysiders have finished their incomings for this transfer window.

It is believed that Liverpool do want to bring a midfielder into the club at some point soon but it’s expected that they will wait until next summer to try and bring top target Jude Bellingham to the club.

And National News Sport claim that Liverpool turned down opportunities to sign Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips, Brighton’s Yves Bissouma and Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans this summer.

“To be here in London, with Spurs, and the Champions League music, imagine? The emotion is too much. I just say thank you to God.

“It is my dream to play Champions League. When I was younger I remember watching the Champions League every day and I can’t believe to play Champions League for Spurs. I am so happy.”

And Bissouma can’t wait to work with Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, he added: “I am going to try to help the team.

“We have a good group and a good coach as well. He is a great coach, everyone knows him.

“I can pass this (next) step with him and I know he is going to help me more to be what I want to be. I try to help the team as well, so…
