Double PSG Raid? Mbaye Emerges as Liverpool FC Target

Liverpool's transfer window finally showed signs of life, but has the focus shifted too heavily towards attack? On today's Newsround, Dave Davis rounds up another busy day as Liverpool step up their interest in Ibrahim Mbaye, with the highly rated PSG youngster reportedly giving the green light to the Anfield project. Dave explains why the Reds see the 18 year old as an exciting long term option, how Jorge Mendes' involvement could prove significant, and why Liverpool appear ready to battle Bayer Leverkusen and other European clubs for his signature. There's also the latest on Bradley Barcola, with optimism remaining that a deal can still be completed despite the ongoing gap in valuation between Liverpool and PSG. Dave discusses why patience is still required and whether the attacking rebuild is now taking precedence over more urgent defensive concerns. The show also examines Liverpool's shortage at the back, including updates on Giovanni Leoni, Jeremy Jacquet and Jeremie Frimpong, plus why Andoni Iraola still looks short of the defensive options needed before the Premier League opener. Elsewhere, there's reaction to Dominik Szoboszlai's comments on Liverpool's squad, the vice captaincy and new signings, plus discussion around Trey Nyoni's growing importance, Stefan Bajčetić's future, Harvey Elliott's situation and why the next three weeks could define Liverpool's summer.
