Liverpool supporters will be the first to admit that this summer has been very frustrating from a transfer window perspective.

Arne Slot’s arrival 𒁏at Anfield was incredi♐bly welcome, a stellar replacement for Jurgen Klopp, ready to install his own ideas.

Understandably, Slot has needed time to assess his squad after joining to then 𝓡liaise with Richard Hughes and Liverpool’s tran🍒sfer team on who they might look to sign this summer.

But most associated with the club imagined th꧒at business would have got going by now, but Liverpool are yet to announce a single signing.

That being said, plenty of the club’s youngs🥂ꦐters could be on the move.

Right-back Calvin Ramsey has already agreed to join Wigan Athletic fo🍸r the season, and now a host of the club’s young forwards are also thou🎶ght to be close to doing something similar.

According to the , Jayden Danns, who is miss꧂ing Liverpool’s pre-season tour with a bacꦰk injury, is attracting interest from Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle.

And in addition, both Ben Doak and K൩aide Gordon have outgrown the under-21s and could also head out on ꩵloan.

Liverpool might still launch a bid for Mohammed Kudus this summer

Of course, if Liverpool were willing to sanction temporary departures for all three of those young forward🐻s it would leave Slot’s attack looking a little light.

None of the names menℱtioned would be envisioned to start games immediately, but particula❀rly in Doak’s case, he could play an important squad role.

Without the trio m𝓀entioned, Slot would only be able to call upon Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.

Just five players to cover three 🐻positions across a long season.

Therefore, co🙈uld the club have something up their sleeve?

Liverpool’s new hierarchy of decision-makers must be deter⭕mined to prove the club’s ambition this summer, even if they will approach things methodically.

And after Liverpool wereꦰ link🅺ed with a move for Mohammed Kudus earlier this summer, 🔜could they be about to launch a surprise bid?

Kudus’ release clause has now expired but that doesn’t mean that Liverpool couldn’t test the Hammers’ resolve for the ‘incredible’ forward.

Of course, those sentiments aren’t just limited to Kudus, Liverpool could ꧒be about to launch a bid for any number of forwards on 𝔉their shortlist.

So whilst things are frustrating righ💯t now, Slot could still be handed a landmark signing.
