'A lot of gaps in the squad' - are Reds finding transfers 'difficult'?

[Getty Images] Journalist and The Late Challenge podcast's, Mo Stewart, says a "difficult market" is impacting Liverpool's transfer business so far this summer. The Reds have brought in Spain winger Victor Munoz and completed a deal for defender Jeremy Jacquet which was agreed in February. However, with Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson already departing, uncertainty over the futures of Alisson and Federico Chiesa, and a long-term injury to Hugo Ekitike, missing out on key target Yan Diomande has left the club with still lots to do in the window. "There are problems with the market," Stewart told BBC Radio Merseyside. "There is a lack of options and the price you are going to have to pay for even a half decent talent is another reason clubs are reluctant to dive in right now. It's a difficult market. "It's a strange situation for Liverpool because we all know they have a lot to do and there are a lot of players in that current squad with question marks over them. "Even aside from that there are a lot of gaps in the squad. The attack is already looking quite thin. "We have to remember the World Cup does make things more difficult, particularly now at the business end." Listen to the full chat below or on BBC Sounds
