Trent Alexander-Arnold has followed in Steven Gerrard's footsteps by picking up the PFA Young Player the Year award and, along with four other of his Liverpool team-mates, has been named in PFA Team of Year. Liverpool's Rhian Brewster stance, meanwhile, has been made clear, while it seems Gini Wijnaldum will soon be speaking to Jurgen Klopp to give the club clarity over his future. Selling Wijnaldum to Barcelona would rise funds - and it might not be the only payment the La Liga giants will be making to the Reds as Michael Edwards' superb negotiations for the transfer of Philippe Coutinho looks set to continue to pay off. Plus, ahead of Leeds United's visit to Anfield for the Premier League opener on Saturday night, which former Liverpool 'target' could be set to sign for Marcelo Bielsa's side?

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire explains the economics behind Liverpool FC and FSG's transfer strategy this summer - and whether more signings might be made. Joining Blood Red's Matt Addison, Kieran outlines the details behind the Reds' accounts, and why, if Jurgen Klopp was desperate to make a buy, the money IS there for that to be done. Liverpool's Nike kit deal has begun well, but they might not have a full stadium on a regular basis for some time yet. Kieran explains the current state of play, and why despite it not looking like it, the club has indeed been investing significantly. He also explains why the likes of Chelsea have spent so much this summer, and why even Manchester United have had to tread carefully in the market.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Liverpool's final pre-season match of the summer saw both Takumi Minamino and Sadio Mane get on the scoresheet in a 7-2 win over Blackpool. With several stars away on international duty, it was a mixed XI that took to the field in the first half and they struggled to perform, trailing 2-1 at the break. But the half-time changes and stepping up of intensity did the trick for Jurgen Klopp as the second 45 minutes was a goal-fest, with Harvey Elliott, Divock Origi and Sepp van den Berg all coming off the bench to score. Join Guy Clarke and Matt Addison as they reflect and look back on the action at Anfield.

Sport Bild's transfer expert Christian Falk joins Matt Addison to discuss Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara, Jurgen Klopp's future and other German-Liverpool links. The ECHO understands that Thiago is NOT an active target for Liverpool at the moment, but in Germany, the reports have been different for weeks.

On Klopp, where might he end up next, and when might that be? Christian explains all, with a surprising revelation.
