Mail Sport has identified three names at the top of Liverpool’s shortlist: Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez, and Hugo Ekitike.

Dean Huijsen, the 20-year-old Spanish-born centre-back, has impressed at AFC Bournemouth this season with 32 appearances, 2 goals, and an assist. His defensive partner Milos Kerkez, the 21-year-old Hungarian left-back, has featured in 37 games, scoring twice and providing 6 assists.

Up front, Hugo Ekitike — currently starring for Eintracht Frankfurt — has been in scintillating form. The 22-year-old French forward has netted 22 goals and delivered 10 assists across 45 appearances in all competitions this campaign.

All three players fit Liverpool’s long-term vision, offering youth, versatility, and high ceilings. The summer window could mark the beginning of a fresh chapter under the club’s evolving sporting direction.
