With Liverpool having learned from the mistakes of previous summers and ensured their transfer business was done with little fuss and well before the season itself gets underway, the tabloids have been left scraping around for transfer stories.
Over a fortnight ago, as the deal for Christian Benteke was being finalised, several Liverpool correspondents reported that the Reds' business for the summer was done. MailOnline's Dominic King explained that the only possible addition could be at left-back, where Paris Saint-Germain's Lucas Digne was attracting interest.
More recently, in an interview with Sky Sports News, the club's chief executive, Ian Ayre, explained that all the Reds' objectives for the summer had been met.
