Liverpool have already lost Keita, Milner and Oxlade-Chamberlain from midfield depth. If the Arab gulf takes Henderson and Fabinho they'll be threadbare in midfield. Even after signing Mac Allister.

They've also signed Szoboszlai from Leipzig for £60m. And are now favorites to sign Lavia from Southampton.
