The summer transfer window closes in less than a week and another player has entered the Liverpool rumour mill.

The Reds have made their first signing of 16-year-old Alvin Ayman while the club is also set to sign Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.

After failing to secure top target Martin Zubimendi and significantly more outgoings than incomings, Liverpool will be hoping to secure more signatures to bolster Arne Slot's squad.
