Long-term Liverpool target Leny Yoro is on the brink of a move to Manchester United - and what does that mean for Richard Hughes and Arne Slot?
Liverpool supporters growing increasingly twitchy at the lack of transfer movement from their club this summer will have been struggling to sit still at the news that emerged on Wednesday morning. Lille teenager Leny Yoro, regarded as one of the most coveted centre-backs of his generation, is on the brink of a move to Manchester United.
There's no escaping the fact that, should Yoro's move to Old Trafford be completed, the optics will not look good for Liverpool at a time when a new-look recruitment and management team continues to get their collective feet under the table at Anfield. But with the Spaniards clearly not willing to meet the asking price and Liverpool maintaining a similar stance, United have now made their move.
By contrast, the Reds have four senior centre-backs with Jarell Quansah having stepped up from the Academy in impressive fashion last season to join skipper Virgil van Dijk, France international Ibrahima Konate and the versatile Joe Gomez.
