General view of Liverpool fans in the stands before the match

Tom is a football journalist with five years of experience. He has been featured in the Non-League Paper, Crawley Observer, Sussex Express and The RedmenTV - producing features, news and conducting interviews.

For Football FanCast, Tom has sat down with a number of names from the industry, including Ally McCoist, Philippe Senderos and Chris Waddle. Elsewhere, he has covered the National League South final, the Formula E London Prix, Crawley Town and Brighton’s U21s.

Tom enjoys writing features about teams in the Football League and Premier League, whilst also receiving the opportunity to conduct interviews on behalf of FFC.

Having written for The RedmenTV, he is particularly an expert on all things Liverpool.

Last summer's £450m spending spree looked like a one-off at the time. Michael Edwards has a reputation for bargain deals rather than splashing the cash, but Liverpool finally handed him the license to change that.

So, Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike all arrived. The Reds' attack, on paper, had been transformed. But the reality is that they're still waiting for the fruits of their labour and it eventually came at a cost for Arne Slot.

Wirtz and Isak particularly struggled to get going, while Ekitike is possibly facing another year on the sidelines. It leaves Liverpool in a difficult position and one they must spend their way out of this summer.

The frontline will once again take centre-stage in the market. This time, it's Andoni Iraola that the Reds are building for after bringing an end to Slot's tenure just one year after he picked up the Premier League title in his debut campaign.

Iraola will require pace if he is to tune up the band and play the heavy metal football that Anfield has been crying out for, and Liverpool look destined to provide exactly that.

Liverpool agree personal terms with major target

This time last summer, the Reds spent big to welcome one of the most exciting players in the Bundesliga in Wirtz. Now, 12 months on, they could be about to do the same.

According to Foot Mercato, Liverpool have agreed personal terms with Yan Diomande and are now waiting to reach an agreement with RB Leipzig.

The Ivory Coast winger has reportedly said yes to a summer move, forcing Paris Saint-Germain to drop out of the race altogether in another major boost for those at Anfield.

There now remains one final hurdle for Liverpool to clear. Having seen their first offer worth around €100m (£86m) rejected, Edwards must go again as Leipzig potentially seek around €120m (£104m) to get a deal over the line.
