Liverpool Liverpool are among the names being connected with activity, all of it still speculation for now. Based in Merseyside, Liverpool know how closely rivals across the Premier League watch every move they make in the window. Whether it moves forward will come down to valuation, wages and how willing the other side is to do business.
