Liverpool are not finished yet in the summer transfer window, and could still spring a surprise or two before deadline day.
The Reds struck early this summer, clinching their top target almost as soon as the window had opened.

"One of the priorities for Liverpool might be a playmaker, and that's why there are fresh links with Hakan Calhanoglu, reports in Italy suggest that Klopp is interested in that player," Jacobs explained.
"He's a playmaker that could be quite intriguing from Liverpool's perspective, because I don't think they've had a genuine playmaker in their squad since the departure of Philippe Coutinho.. certainly one to watch between now and the end of the window.
As well as the Inter star, Jacobs singled out Santos wonderkid Marcos Leonardo as a potential investment.
"If you're going to get a player of his quality you have to swoop now before interest grows," he added.
"He is only 19 years of age and there is a big pinch of salt to this one, because it's all coming from Brazil that Liverpool have eyes on the player, might make a bid, so I think it's one to watch over the course of the window."
