Alisson Becker Highlights Challenges of Liverpool’s Summer Transformation

Liverpool have undergone significant squad changes ahead of the new Premier League season, spending nearly £300 million on new signings including Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, and Hugo Ekitike, while several long-serving players like Trent Alexander-Arnold have departed.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker highlighted the substantial challenge of integrating so many new players, contrasting it with last season's managerial change where the core squad remained familiar. He emphasized the difficulties new arrivals face adapting to the Premier League's physicality and intensity, though he praised Frimpong, Wirtz, and Ekitike for performing well immediately with the team's support.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are set to sell young prospect Ben Doak to Bournemouth in a £25 million deal, with the transfer in its final stages. Bournemouth moved quickly to secure Doak as a replacement for Dango Ouattara, seeing him as a player ready for Premier League development.

Speculation continues linking Liverpool with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. However, Palace manager Oliver Glasner expressed confidence that Guehi remains committed to the club, citing his recent performances and daily conversations confirming his dedication and character.
