Episode 209 - Fixing Liverpool's Back Line and Tottenham's Attack

The Transfer Flow Podcast

Show Notes

Neel and Patrick rebuild Liverpool's defence and Tottenham's attack, hunting for value signings that go beyond the obvious names.

They dig into Liverpool's centre-back options behind an ageing Van Dijk, including Castello Lukeba, Ousmane Diomande and free agent wildcard Oumar Solet, before working through the full-back market on both flanks. Then it's over to Spurs, where the focus shifts to fixing the attack around Savinho and Nicolas Jackson, plus a handful of cheaper wide alternatives if the big names don't move.

Plus: a look ahead to the Premier League Previews dropping the week of August 17th, covering all 20 clubs.
