The summer of 2022 proved to be a pretty quiet on the transfer front for Liverpool, though there could still be some late twists and turns before the window closes. However, they have a decidedly mixed record when it comes to last-minute deals.
When it comes to deadline day transfers at Liverpool, the Reds will struggle to beat January 2011, when they signed Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll as Fernando Torres joined Chelsea, but they’ve also been busy on the final day of summer windows too.
We’ve looked at the 11 players Liverpool have previously signed on the summer transfer deadline day to see how they fared at Anfield.
Marcelo Pitaluga
Teenage goalkeeper Marcelo made the switch from Fluminense for a reported £1million at the end of 2020 window. He’s made a handful of appearances for Liverpool’s Under-23s and Under-18s and is clearly one earmarked for the future.
Still only 19, he’ll spent the 2022-23 campaign on loan at Macclesfield, which doesn’t quite suggest he’ll be battling for compatriot Alisson’s gloves any time soon.
Alex Oxlade-
With 12 months left on his Arsenal contract, Oxlade-Chamberlain opted for a fresh challenge in 2017, joining Liverpool in a £35million deal.

He also played an integral role in Liverpool’s run to the Europa League final in 2016 but missed the defeat against Sevilla due to a drug test controversy.
The centre-back eventually fell down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp after numerous disciplinary issues and was sold to Crystal Palace for £26million in 2017.

Tiago Ilori
Liverpool spent £7million to sign Ilori from Sporting Lisbon in 2013, with the defender regarded as a highly-rated prospect.
