Matt Addison is joined by the Liverpool ECHO’s LFC correspondent Paul Gorst to get the latest information on how the Reds' summer transfer plans are coming together. Kostas Tsimikas became the club's first signing as Premier League champions a couple of weeks ago, but what - if anything - might come next? Matt and Paul talk through central defensive options including Brighton's Ben White, plus the performances of young starlets like Billy Koumetio and Sepp van den Berg who are aiming to establish themselves at senior level. Talk then turns to Thiago Alcantara and Gini Wijnaldum as Paul delivers the latest update on the contract situations of the pair. And finally: a look at the rest of the top Premier League clubs. Should Liverpool be worried about Chelsea's lavish spending? And what if Man City sign Lionel Messi? In short: Liverpool's transfer strategy is clear, as Matt and Paul dissect throughout the show. Enjoy.
