Liverpool continue to be the busiest Premier League club in the transfer window after agreeing a deal for their fifth signing of the summer.

The Merseyside outfit wasted little time in getting down to business after winning the title at a canter in 2024/25, suggesting they are not ready to rest on their laurels.

Jeremie Frimpong was the first to arrive at Anfield in a £29 million deal with Bayer Leverkusen, replacing right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer.

That preceded the blockbuster signing of Florian Wirtz from the same German club in a deal worth up to £116m, providing a major boost to Arne Slot’s squad.

Goalkeeper Armin Pecsi arrived from Puskas Akademia in a £3 million deal in early June after Caoimhín Kelleher moved to Brentford, while Milos Kerkez completed his £40m move from Bournemouth this week.

The latest player to join the Reds’ ranks is former Newcastle United shot stopper Freddie Woodman. Liverpool announced on Saturday that the goalkeeper had agreed to sign a contract with the club following the expiration of his deal at Preston North End later this month.

The 28-year-old will provide cover for Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili, who arrives this summer after Liverpool agreed a £29m deal with Valencia last year.

Importantly, Woodman is a homegrown player, meaning he won’t take up one of Liverpool’s 17 non-homegrown slots on the UEFA squad list.

Liverpool have now spent £172m, which could rise to £188m, this summer, but they are still not done in the transfer window. They have also been linked with possible moves for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
