​Liverpool’s new head coach Andoni Iraola has stressed his desire to bring in more reinforcements this summer, despite the club already adding winger Victor Munoz and defender Jeremy Jacquet in the transfer window. Iraola made clear that additional signings are essential for the squad, and he said the club is actively working to secure them. “Obviously we’ve signed two players already but we need more players,” he stated. “We know this. The club is working on this. Me, as a coach, selfishly, you want the players here on day one, ready to train for pre-season. But we understand that football doesn’t work like this and I know that the club is working hard to get those signings and I am trying to help also.”
Iraola also touched on the potential departure of Harvey Elliott, noting that the midfielder spent last season on loan at Aston Villa where his game time was limited. Elliott will still have an opportunity to prove himself during pre-season. “Definitely. Harvey is here with us,” Iraola said. “I’ve seen him with this eagerness of showing himself and getting himself ready again. He will have a chance during pre-season. We will need him. It’s a good sign, he came one week earlier, he has been training with the under-21s. I hope we can see him in a good place. Last season had to be very difficult for him. It was a strange situation where they couldn’t even put him to play. And I think he uses this, the bad situation he has experienced, to make him even more eager to be a Liverpool player.”
As plans continue to unfold, Iraola’s message is clear: more additions are on the horizon, and fringe players like Elliott will be given opportunities to showcase their readiness and resilience in pre-season. Fans hoping for a busy transfer window can anticipate further updates as Liverpool push to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign.
