Alexis Mac Allister gives seal of APPROVAL to Richard Hughes' transfer blueprint

Liverpool spent a record £450m in the summer transfer window - with Richard Hughes overseeing a landmark campaign.

The Reds had largely opted to sit out the previous few windows - saving up their resources to make an almighty splash in the summer just gone.

Premier League title-holders Liverpool broke the British transfer record TWICE - spending £116m on Florian Wirtz and committing to a £125m deal for Alexander Isak.

But even more top signings were recruited by Hughes and head coach Arne Slot - with Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike and Giorgi Mamaradashvili among the headline arrivals.

Liverpool's big changes in the transfer market

It leaves Liverpool in a very strong position to defend their Premier League title - with Slot having a much deeper squad than the one that claimed the 20th top-flight victory in the Reds’ history.

There were several departures too; Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz have left the frontline while others including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott, Tyler Morton, Ben Doak and Nat Phillips have also walked through the exit door.

Mac Allister believes in Liverpool new boys' quality

The squad is now in state of flux - as Slot attempts to pick the best lineup possible on a consistent basis and bed in the new signings as quickly as possible.

The transfer blueprint has already won the seal of approval from at least one title-winner in the shape of Alexis Mac Allister.

Asked by TNT Sports where this was the best transfer window of all time - the Argentina player was in NO DOUBT that Hughes had completed deals for quality acquisitions.

Macca reveals the key to success

“We brought in many very good players who have the quality to play here,” he said.

“Everyone is pleased with the window. “But football is crazy—new signings don’t guarantee anything. You have to build a team, understand each other, and that’s the process we’re in now.

“There’s no doubt about the quality of the players, but the key is creating a team to win.”

That serves as a timely reminder for Liverpool’s new stars. Their predecessors have managed to win the Premier League, FA Cup and EFL Cup over the last few seasons and the new faces have a lot to live up to.
