Phil Thompson urges Liverpool to make more signings before transfer deadline

Phil Thompson states that Liverpool needs four to five more signings ahead of the transfer window deadline on September 1. He highlights concerns about the squad's depth after losing three first-team regulars since last season. With only three new additions so far this summer, including one on loan, the pressure is on sporting director Richard Hughes to strengthen the squad. Liverpool is reportedly pursuing players Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain, which could cost around £170m. However, the timeline makes it uncertain if Liverpool can fulfill Thompson's call for additional signings.
