Exciting wonderkid on his way to Liverpool as Richard Hughes agrees ANOTHER transfer | OneFootball

Another exciting player is on his way to Liverpool after Richard Hughes struck an agreement for his transfer.

Before the start of this summer's window, the jury was still out on the club's sporting director. Hughes was quiet last summer, biding his time for this year.

Perhaps even he did not imagine the monumental window Liverpool would have this summer. This has been a summer of rebuild and transition, building on the founding blocks that Arne Slot established last season.

Hughes has brought in Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Hugo Ekitike. In the process he's made this Liverpool team better and more unpredictable.

The quartet alone would be enough for him to end this summer window with a pat on the back. But Hughes isn't done yet. He's ready to end the window with another spending spree.

There are now just less than three weeks left until the window shuts close on September 1st. Time is running out for Liverpool to get deals over the line.

And while the new additions have bolstered Slot's team, there are still areas where Liverpool look vulnerable.

The Community Shield highlighted the gap in defence and the lack of options available to Slot. This is something Hughes is clearly trying to fix.

Liverpool have been embroiled in a saga with Marc Guehi and Crystal Palace for much of the summer. At this point, that deal could end either way.

But ultimately, Liverpool have a great chance of getting their man on a free next summer if they don't agree a deal this year.

In the meantime, Hughes has not put all his eggs in one basket. In a separate deal to Guehi, he's agreed a £26m transfer for the signing of Giovanni Leoni as per Fabrizio Romano.

The exciting wonderkid is regarded as one Italy's best prospects and now he will be moving to Liverpool pending a medical.

A lot of people are excited about Leoni and rightfully so. He looks like a real prospect, someone who may be destined to play at Anfield and follow in the footsteps of Virgil van Dijk.

Now the latest on Leoni is the fact that he's jetting off to Liverpool. The wonderkid is now heading to Merseyside ahead of his move as per the latest video captured of the young Italian at an airport in Parama on Thursday morning.

It's another deal that is close to be done. Another deal Hughes masterfully negotiated and agreed a pretty decent transfer fee for.
