Liverpool’s midfield and attacking areas will undergo huge changes this summer.
Richard Hughes and Arne Slaughter once again planned an overhaul of the squad and considered several signings. We could see new midfielders arriving to provide cover and competition, while one-on-one specialists will be widely sought out.

These plans have thrown the futures of many Liverpool players into doubt.
For example, Curtis Jones is likely to leave midfield, while Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah will certainly depart from attack.
Another player who has been hoping for a chance under Slaughter is Harvey Elliott.
The Premier League champions sanctioned the England Under-21 international on a one-year loan deal last summer and chose Aston Villa as his destination.
The midfielder-striker is expected to complete a permanent move for £35m, provided certain conditions are met.
If Elliott plays 10 Premier League games The deal will come into effect, but it’s clear Emery has no intention of sanctioning the move.
As a result, Elliott will return to Anfield with one year left on his contract.
