A round-up of the latest Liverpool news as Anfield chiefs make a decision over Virgil van Dijk’s future and Harvey Elliott reacts to the Reds confirming one transfer away.

Liverpool are interested in rivalling Arsenal to sign Ademola Lookman

Atalanta BC winger Ademola Lookman is attracting interest from Liverpool but Arsenal have tabled an official offer. The 26-year-old has also featured on the shopping list of Paris Saint-Germain this summer. But a return to the Premier League is now appearing the most likely.

That is according to Alfredo Pedulla, who reports that Arsenal have offered Atlanta a €50m (£42.5m) deal including add-ons. The Gunners are also open to including Jakub Kiwior with Gian Piero Gasperini a fan. But their offer is far from La Dea’s €65-70m (£55-59m) price tag.

Liverpool are also lurking and may swoop to sign Lookman before the market shuts in what would be a return to Merseyside. He spent two years at Everton from 2017 to 2019 but has drawn interest from three top clubs after helping Atalanta win the Europa League last term.

Harvey Elliott reacts to Liverpool selling Bobby Clark to RB Salzburg

The transfer of Bobby Clark from Liverpool to RB Salzburg has drawn several responses with Harvey Elliott leading the reactions from the Reds’ first-team. Pep Lijnders raided Anfield for the midfielder’s services earlier this week as Jurgen Klopp’s old No2 secured a £10m swoop.

Liverpool also gained a 17.5% sell-on clause to agree to sell Clark to RB Salzburg, despite the 19-year-old only featuring 14 times in the Reds’ senior side. He even only spent three terms on Merseyside largely spent as an academy ace after joining from Newcastle United in 2021.
