Hello and welcome to your Liverpool transfer blog on Monday, April 14. It is the day after the Reds took a big step towards the Premier League title after a 2-1 victory over West Ham United at Anfield. Luis Diaz opened the scoring on 18 minutes after Mohamed Salah celebrated his new contract with a mesmerising assist.
With four minutes remaining, it looked like they would miss the chance to extend their lead, yet again, when a mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson led to the latter netting into his own goal. However, the centre-back would make amends moments later, powering a header past Alphonse Areola to spark jubilant scenes on Merseyside. After Arsenal dropped further points on Saturday, it is only a matter of time before Liverpool are crowned champions, surely.
While the focus will remain on the task at hand until it is mathematically certain, Arne Slot will have a firm eye on the summer transfer window to improve his squad. Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has often been linked with the Reds and it is reported that they have made 'contact' with the Magpies over his signature. Meanwhile, Liverpool supporters are awaiting to hear news on Van Dijk's new contract after Salah agreed his deal.
It is expected the club captain will sign to extend his stay beyond this summer. Keep across all the latest Liverpool news in our dedicated blog from the ECHO below..
