Liverpool will always try to improve the squad while offering no confirmation on a move for Newcastle's Alexander Isak before the transfer deadline. A rejected £110m bid for Isak came earlier this month, and an improved offer is possible if Newcastle sign a replacement striker. Liverpool have also held talks with Crystal Palace over defender Marc Guéhi, but the transfer window is closing with limited time to complete deals. Liverpool have won their first two Premier League games and may have Alexis Mac Allister available after he resumed training.
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has said the club will "always" try to improve the squad but refused to be drawn on whether they will move to sign Newcastle United's Alexander Isak before next week's transfer deadline. Isak was the subject of a rejected £110m bid from Liverpool earlier this month and, should Newcastle manage to complete the signing of a new striker in the coming days, the Premier League champions are expected to return with an improved offer for the Sweden international.
"As always, we try to sign players that can help but there is no reason to complain after the first two games that we need more," Slot said. "But if we can strengthen, we will, if it is the right money and the right player. But there are only four days left so let's see if we do something."
"You do play better later in the season so you can lose ground [early] but not a lot. Although, I would be surprised if there will be a points record and a team gets more than 100 points because of the strength in the league. So you are able to drop a few points and still be competitive. But the best thing is not to drop points."
