Liverpool closing in on brilliant double transfer

Liverpool are closing in on a brilliant double transfer.

Liverpool are clearly entering a new chapter, and the fingerprints of Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards are already starting to appear all over the club's decision-making.

Last summer felt like the first real sign that Liverpool were thinking beyond the immediate future. Rather than making short-term fixes or patching up weak areas, the club appeared to be laying the foundations for the next great Liverpool side. It was the beginning of a rebuild, even if it didn't always feel like one on the surface.

A number of players who had been key figures during the Jurgen Klopp era moved on, bringing an end to a cycle that delivered some of the most memorable moments in the club's modern history.

It was never going to be easy replacing that generation, but Liverpool's recruitment team seem determined to look forward rather than dwell on the past.

What's been most noticeable is the age profile of the players being targeted. Liverpool are investing heavily in youth, potential and long-term development. The idea appears to be building a squad that can grow together over the next five to seven years rather than constantly needing major surgery every couple of seasons.

Aside from Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong, almost every arrival has been 23 or younger. Even then, Isak and Frimpong still fit comfortably into the club's long-term plans. At 26 and 25 respectively, both are entering the prime years of their careers and should have plenty of their best football ahead of them.

There is little indication that Liverpool are about to change course either this summer. If anything, this summer looks set to continue the same trend. Players such as Adam Wharton and Yan Diomande have already been heavily linked with moves to Anfield, and both fit the profile Liverpool appear to be prioritising.

The message from Hughes and Edwards is becoming increasingly clear.

Liverpool are not simply building a team for next season. They are trying to build a squad capable of competing for the biggest honours for years to come, creating a sustainable model that can keep the club at the top of English and European football long into the future.

As a result, there is now a growing pool of prospects within the academy and under-21 ranks who will be looking to make the jump to senior football.

And there will be more talents coming to Anfield ready to make their mark.

This summer has seen Liverpool agree a deal for Samuel Martinez from Colombia. Xavier Parker from Manchester City looks likely to join the Reds, and now the club is also closing in on a brilliant double deal.

According to Peter O'Rourke Liverpool are now getting close to signing both Everton winger Josh Chigwada and Wolves goalkeeper Zach Trinder.

The two England U15 internationals are very highly rated.

Chigwada is regarded as one of the best in his age-group, and is comfortable playing on either wing. He became the youngest debutant for Everton's U18 team of all time last season.

Trinder is regarded as the best young goalkeeper at academy level in England, and he is someone who attracted interest from another of clubs.

There's also room for them to come to Liverpool in their particular age-groups. Josh Abe is the U18 winger for the club but he's going to be moving up to the U21s and the first-team, giving Chigwada a clear pathway.

Liverpool also released several U16 and U18 goalkeepers this summer which again clears the pathway for Trinder.

It looks like Edwards is building a generational team. This is exciting.
