Liverpool's preparations for the new season are gathering pace, but there are still major decisions to be made both on and off the pitch.
On today's Newsround, Dave Davis previews Sunday's clash with Leeds after another positive training session under Andoni Iraola. There is discussion around Jeremy Jacquet's fitness, the encouraging atmosphere around the squad, and why the intensity of Iraola's sessions continues to impress players and staff alike.
The biggest transfer talking point centres on Curtis Jones, with fresh reports suggesting a move to Inter Milan is edging closer. Dave assesses the latest from both England and Italy, explains why a compromise fee now looks likely, and discusses what Liverpool's midfield could look like if the Academy graduate departs.
There's also a major debate around Trey Nyoni, who continues to enhance his reputation during pre-season. Has the teenager done enough to force his way into Liverpool's Premier League plans, or should the Reds still be looking to strengthen in midfield before the window closes?
Plus, updates on Liverpool's vice-captaincy plans, the latest from open training in Chicago, Federico Chiesa's return, and whether Liverpool's squad is finally beginning to take shape ahead of the new campaign.
