"With five wins out of five and a five-point lead at the top of the embryonic Premier League table, Liverpool appear to have picked up where they left off last season. The defending champions were quickly installed as the bookmakers' favourites following a campaign which saw them finish ten points clear of the chasing pack in Arne Slot's first season."
"This summer was a different story, as the Reds shelled out 415million on a plethora of talent as they target title number 21 this season. Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak both arrived on nine-figure deals, while the cash was also splashed on the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, while Giorgi Mamardashvili, whose move as agreed last summer, has now arrived."
Liverpool started the Premier League season with five wins from five and a five-point lead. Bookmakers made Liverpool favourites after a previous campaign that finished ten points clear under Arne Slot. The club made only one notable signing the prior summer, Federico Chiesa for 10million. This summer the club invested 415million on new players, signing Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak on nine-figure deals and adding Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giorgi Mamardashvili. Former winger Steve McManaman described the transfers as shrewd, highlighting forward departures and the importance of squad depth across a long campaign.
