Ilya Zabarnyi and Djed Spence have both been mentioned, but fresh developments remain scarce. Dave Davis and Trev Downey discuss whether Liverpool will sign another defender this summer, and the risk of beginning the Premier League campaign without reinforcements.

    Gakpo Exit Looms? Nyoni's Pre-Season Brilliance Forces Liverpool FC Hand

    On today's Newsround, Dave Davis reflects on the key winners and losers from pre-season as Andoni Iraola prepares for a crucial week on the training ground. With the Premier League opener fast approaching, attention turns to Liverpool's growing need for reinforcements, particularly in defence, where concerns continue to mount. A major part of the show focuses on Cody Gakpo's future after fresh reports linked the Dutch international with Tottenham Hotspur. Dave breaks down the latest from The Athletic, Ben Jacobs and David Lynch, discussing why Liverpool are not actively looking to sell, but could still consider a deal if Spurs meet their valuation. He also explains how a move for Bradley Barcola could fit into Liverpool's wider transfer strategy. There's plenty of positivity too, with Trey Nyoni emerging as the standout performer of the summer. Dave explains why the teenager now looks set to remain with the first-team squad, why a loan move appears off the table, and how his performances may have changed Liverpool's midfield planning. The episode also covers Curtis Jones' uncertain future, the defensive injury concerns surrounding Joe Gomez and Jeremy Jacquet, plus why Liverpool's recruitment over the next few weeks could shape Iraola's first season at Anfield.

    GAKPO OUT? BARCOLA IN? Liverpool Scrambles as Curtis Jones Saga Drags On

    Liverpool's pre-season has highlighted plenty of positives, but the transfer window is becoming impossible to ignore. On today's Newsround, Dave Davis assesses where Liverpool stand after the Leeds defeat, why the performances of Trey Nyoni and several academy stars continue to encourage, and why the biggest talking points now lie away from the pitch. The spotlight remains firmly on Bradley Barcola, with fresh reports suggesting the winger still wants a move to Anfield, although negotiations with PSG are expected to be anything but straightforward. Dave explains why patience may still be required and why Liverpool cannot allow the saga to drag on for too much longer. There's also a major discussion around Cody Gakpo, with Tottenham reportedly preparing to step up their interest. Dave debates whether Liverpool should cash in if a significant offer arrives, why simply replacing Gakpo with Barcola may not be enough, and how the Reds could still need another attacking signing before the window closes. Elsewhere, there's the latest on Curtis Jones and Inter Milan, updates on Jeremie Frimpong and Jeremy Jacquet, plus discussion around Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott, Ryan Gravenberch and the urgent need for reinforcements in defence and midfield ahead of the Premier League opener. With Monaco next on the schedule, Liverpool's squad could look very different by the time they return to Anfield. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Nyoni's Masterclass Can't Hide Liverpool FC Defensive Meltdown

    Liverpool's US tour may be over, but the talking points are only just beginning. On today's Newsround, Dave Davis reflects on Liverpool's 4-2 defeat to Leeds, a match that perfectly summed up pre-season with an impressive first half followed by a difficult second. Dave looks at the standout performers, the lessons Andoni Iraola will take away, and why supporters should avoid overreacting while still recognising the squad's biggest weaknesses. The spotlight falls firmly on Trey Nyoni, who once again produced an outstanding display and continues to strengthen his case for regular first-team football. Has the teenager now played himself into Liverpool's Premier League plans? There's also concern surrounding Jeremie Frimpong, who was forced off after appearing to suffer another physical issue. Dave discusses Iraola's update, why Liverpool fans will be hoping it's nothing serious, and whether the Reds can afford to take any risks at right-back. Attention also turns to Jeremy Jacquet, with fresh questions over Liverpool's defensive depth following another injury setback. Dave explains why centre-back recruitment now feels increasingly urgent, the latest on Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni, plus why Liverpool's transfer priorities may have shifted before the Premier League opener. There's praise too for Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luke Chambers, alongside a closer look at the performances of Curtis Jones, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott after another revealing night in Chicago.

    David Lynch: INCREDIBLE FIRST HALF BUT SIGNINGS NEEDED! | Liverpool 2-4 Leeds Match Reaction

    Liverpool suffered their first defeat under Andoni Iraola as they were beaten 4-2 by Leeds United in Chicago. But it was a classic game of two halves, with the Reds taking a deserved two-goal lead in the first before being overrun in the second. That is why reporter David Lynch, unsurprisingly, has both positives and negatives to take from the game, with the performances of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak among the former. As for the latter, the paper thin squad depth that was underlined in the second period is the clearest example. Check out this review of the game and don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
