# Virals: Report names five potential Liverpool summer transfer targets

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/08/09/virals-southampton-reportedly-keen-to-re-sign-alex-oxlade-chamberlain/) manager Jurgen Klopp cut a delighted figure as the Reds returned to a near-capacity crowd at Anfield on Sunday.

Despite seemingly losing [Andy Robertson](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/08/09/virals-andy-robertson-positive-over-injury-diagnosis/) for a [prolonged period](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-andy-robertson-injury-news-b1899301.html) due to an ankle injury, the German boss was positive following a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao.

Having already [signed](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/435628-liverpool-agree-deal-to-sign-ibrahima-konate-from-rb-leipzig) 22-year-old ace Ibrahima Konate, the arrivals door has been quiet during the ongoing summer transfer window.

That could still change in the remaining weeks however as a report from [Goal](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/klopp-hints-at-liverpool-transfers-before-summer-window-ends-but-/t4id1750jg6p1splyzvx4z81a), as cited by [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1424455945451622400) on Twitter, claims that the club are casting an eye on no less than five players.

The report also names Lille forward Jonathan David and [34 times capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ismaila-sarr/nationalmannschaft/spieler/410225/verein_id/3499) Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr as those on the radar.

All of the aforementioned names have been involved in [speculation linking them with a Liverpool switch](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12354170/liverpool-transfer-news-summer-transfer-window-2021) this summer, although the report does more or less rule out moves for Saul, Renato Sanches and Federico Chiesa.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Often the club to complete the most understated business in recent windows, Kopites will be hoping a summer in a [similar mould to last](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/sep/18/liverpool-sign-thiago-alcantara-from-bayern-munich-jurgen-klopp) will come to fruition.

The departure of Gini WIjnaldum and a [complete loss of form](https://www.sofascore.com/player/divock-origi/190399) in Divock Origi make a midfield addition and another attacking option essential incomings.

In need of further homegrown players to meet [Premier League requirements](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12052427/do-premier-league-clubs-need-to-sign-homegrown-players), signing either Bowen or Barnes would tick boxes as well as adding to the firepower at Klopp’s disposal.

As for a midfielder, perhaps [further squad sales](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/xherdan-shaqiri-regret-liverpool-prepare-21147818) can free up space for the likes of Neuhaus or Bissouma.
