Liverpool believe they have signed another best in the world, the club just keeps getting better.

There’s a real sense of excitement around Anfield right now. Arne Slot and Richard Hughes have moved on, with Andoni Iraola and Julian Ward now back at the helm. In many ways, it feels like Liverpool are returning to what made them successful in the first place.

Iraola brings that charismatic, full-throttle style of football that Jurgen Klopp helped make synonymous with the Reds. Ward, meanwhile, has always had a squad-building mindset rather than simply chasing the biggest names available.

His previous track record speaks for itself. Ward was behind the decision not to sign Jude Bellingham, instead believing Liverpool needed a complete midfield rebuild. That decision ultimately paved the way for Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister arriving together the following summer.

Liverpool's plans to rebuild the squad is incredible

Ward's plans will be to build on the existing foundations that the Reds have already established. In his previous role at the club, he played a pivotal part of bringing in an exciting group of young players.

The basis of that team will be built on Florian Wirtz, Jeremy Jacquet, Dominik Szoboszlai and Bradley Barcola with Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak at the helm.

Iraola's fast-paced and intense style is going to get the best out of all of them. Patience is needed, but also behind the scenes Liverpool have more exciting players ready to step-up.

Trey Nyoni could be part of that conversation. Meanwhile, Lamine Camara has been pursued and a move for him is very possible come the January window.

Liverpool have signed another best in the world

The Reds have completed a lot of exciting new arrivals behind the scenes as well. They have recently started to aggresively pursue the market for young players.

In their attempts, Ward has played a key role alongside Matt Newberry and Pedro Marques to attract the best young players in the world to the club.

The Reds believe they've signed the best young goalkeeper on the planet with the arrival of Lucca Brughmans. But according to the Daily Mail, they also believe they've signed the best young defender on the planet as well.

The report claims that as well as Brughmans in Ifeanyi Ndukwe Liverpool believe they've signed the best young centre-back in the world.

So, in the future they could have two world-class players if they both fulfil their potential. It's exciting times ahead.
