Arne Slot is speaking to the media now ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Manchester United on Sunday.
The Dutchman, who yesterday brought Federico Chievo to Anfield, is unlikely to be busy today, although he refused to rule it out entirely.
He said: “I’m not expecting anything… but if we see an opportunity we could act.”

Four-time defending champions Manchester City have signed Savinho and Ilkay Gundogan in this transfer window. City as a rule tend not to do much business on deadline days – Pep Guardiola is not one for scrambling round in the bargain bucket.
City aren’t expected to do anything today with full focus on tomorrow’s trip to West Ham.

Another man worth watching today is Jadon Sancho. The England winger has again been frozen out at Manchester United despite a reported reconciliation with Erik ten Hag. Juventus appear in pole position although Paris Saint-Germain could make a late move.
Sancho spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund but the Bundesliga side have ruled out bringing him back to the club for a third time on financial grounds.

Frustration for Chelsea?
Sky Italy are reporting Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is set to sign for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli. The Nigeria international was a reported target for Enzo Maresca whose bloated squad is arguably still short of a number nine to compete with Nicolas Jackson.
Does that put Ivan Toney in the frame for a move to Stamford Bridge?
🚨🇸🇦 BREAKING: Napoli reach total agreement with Al Ahli for Victor Osimhen!
Club to club deal done for €75/80m total package, Al Ahli have already booked a medical.
Four year contract worth €25/30m per season net to Osimhen + RELEASE clause.

An early move from Arsenal with Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto having a medical in North London this morning.
With Aaron Ramsdale seemingly on his way to Southampton, Mikel Arteta needed a new back-up goalkeeper and Neto became available after Bournemouth signed Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan yesterday.

Good morning and welcome to our deadline day blog in which we will cover off all the major deals before the window closes tonight at 11pm.
There are a number of players to keep an eye on as clubs scramble to bolster their squads ahead of another long season.
Will Chelsea’s frantic activity continue? Can they sign a new striker with Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen reportedly on their wishlist? And what of their ‘bomb squad’? Will the likes of Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell find new clubs?
Manchester United have also been active but Manuel Ugarte has yet to complete his move to Old Trafford from Paris Saint-Germain.
Another club seeking a number nine are Arsenal. Will the Gunners make a late move in the market?
