Liverpool are undergoing a transition under former Feyenoord boss Arne Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp over the summer and will look to put his own stamp on the team with a fair few reinforcements through the door.
The Reds new era has been off to a slow start, with sporting director Richard Hughes biding his time while Arne Slot makes himself familiar with the squad inherited from Jurgen Klopp. As a result, the Reds are one of only two Premier League teams yet to make a move in the transfer market.
As the final month of the transfer window looms, Liverpool has been linked with a slew of new players. One of the more unexpected names to surface is Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley.
The 23-year-old, who moved north of the border to the Celts from MK Dons in January 2022, scored 19 goals and provided 18 assists in all competitions last season for the Scottish giants, garnering attention from across Europe along the way.

It is being reported that Liverpool and Atalanta have both expressed interest in acquiring the playmaker's services.
The Italian outfit has already made an offer, submitting a package of £16 million ($20m), which Celtic swiftly turned down but remain in negotiations over a summer transfer and are ready to put forth an improved proposal.
According to TeamTalk, Celtic is looking for a fee in the region of £26 million ($33m) to part ways with their prised midfielder.
