The name of Lamine Camara from Monaco has cropped up in a couple of articles. Holding midfielder that came through the same footballing academy as Sadio Mane - Never heard of him myself though
"One of the reasons why Camara is the perfect option is because he brings about control in possession. He is a player who is very decision in his passing and deals with pressure very effectively.
At the same time, he is defensively very solid as well. He wins a high volume of duels and reads the game really well which means he can reprise possession for his team time and time again.
He’s essentially another Ryan Gravenberch, which is what Arne Slot needs.
And now the doors have really opened for Liverpool to make their move. Previously, having only joined Monaco last summer, Camara moving on so soon might have been out of the question.
But Ligue 1 are currently struggling financially with the biggest internationally broadcaster currently holding the rights for matches DAZN pulling out of a multi million deal that is going to significantly cut the funds clubs receive from broadcast revenue in the coming years.

Spearing?
Still raw, but huge potential upside.
Spearing?
Danny Guthrie?
Interesting theory. I’ll take it, though.
Phenomenal negotiating from our side at the time…
Look at us saving money all over the place. If we start against Spurs with only 7 players think of the savings we’d make on bonus payments
Those title celebration fireworks clearly weren’t budgeted for at the start of the season.
The party will be a damp squid
Aren’t squids supposed to be damp?
