Graeme Souness is worried about the lack of transfer activity at Liverpool
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has admitted he is concerned about the lack of transfer activity at the club this summer.
It's been a summer of change at Anfield with Arne Slot taking over after Jurgen Klopp left at the end of last season.
Slot faces a big challenge following his arrival from Feyenoord and may have expected to be added to the squad before the start of the season.
Souness is worried about Liverpool's lack of business
Liverpool are the only club in the Premier League not to make a signing this summer and they were pursuing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi only for the Spaniard to turn around and remain with the La Liga club.
There were many departures at the club with Fabio Carvalho joining Brentford, while Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara left on free transfers, with the Spaniard announcing his retirement from the game.
With the start of the season still a week away from Liverpool being busy in the window but that is not the case.
Ex-Red Souness is concerned about the lack of transfer activity at his former club and feels that Arne Slot would have wanted to bring in some players.
“I'm surprised that Arne Slot didn't bring players because you would have expected he would have wanted to,” he told talkSPORT.
“Without the changing of the guard, you will be judged by Klopp and you will hear Klopp's name being sung and the placards showing that Klopp is being shown to the whole stadium until the time comes when he will overshadow us and leave his mark on the team.
“You can think that he will want his own players. I think the players didn't seem to be where we thought they were at the end of last season as I thought they would carry Klopp home and do something meaningful and they didn't seem to be able to.”
A big season for Liverpool and the start of a new era under the Dutchman which starts with a trip to newly promoted Ipswich on Saturday lunchtime.
