Liverpool are ready to push through a deal for Real Betis fullback Junior Firpo.

The Guardian says Liverpool are eyeing up Firpo and will not be put off by his lofty £45million buy-out clause.

Liverpool have looked at the pacey defender and are unfussed by the price it would take to bring him to Anfield.

Liverpool are set to enter the fresh campaign with Andy Roberton and Trent Alexander-Arnold again leading from the defensive flanks.

The full-backs set records last season with their growing number of assists, while playing a role in helping Liverpool concede the fewest goals in the top flight division (22).
