However, the Reds have brought in highly-rated Darwin Nunez and young star Fabio Calvalho.

Nunez came off the bench last week to score FOUR times as Liverpool hammered RB Leipzig 5-0 in a pre-season friendly.

Nunez received a much-needed confidence boost with his four goals after facing ridicule from fans for his point-blank miss against Manchester United.

Footage emerged of the Uruguayan misfiring in training too - but he seems to have rediscovered his goalscoring touch.

That delighted Jurgen Klopp, who hailed a “perfect night” for Nunez after he shot down his doubters.
