Whilst Liverpool continue to add young players to their squad as they look to the future, many Premier League rivals are also doing the same.

The move never materialised however and the 22-year-old stayed to help Lille win the Ligue 1 championship.
Transfer specialist Romano reports that after three failed bids in January, Newcastle will finally get their man for a fee of €37million with add-ons.
He goes on to say that the medical is already booked and Botman's contract is in the process of being drawn up by Newcastle chiefs.
After signing Nick Pope from Burnley earlier this week, Newcastle continue to do good business and the signing of Botman if confirmed will be another exciting addition for supporters.
