It was an extremely quiet transfer window for Liverpool last summer, with Federico Chiesa the only immediate signing that was made.
But despite the lack of additions, the Reds cruised to the Premier League title in Arne Slot's first season in charge.
This time, however, they are doing things differently.
Liverpool have already brought in Netherlands international Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5m, are closing in on his Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Florian Wirtz for a fee in the region of a club record £109m and are in talks to sign Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez for between £45m and £50m.
