NEWSROUND WITH DAVE DAVIS | PART 3
Dave Davis returns for the final part of Newsround, covering Liverpool's latest transfer developments, major contract decisions and the growing anticipation ahead of Brighton's visit to Anfield.
Liverpool's reported interest in Valencia youngster David Otorbi takes centre stage, with claims that the Reds were prepared to activate his original release clause before Valencia moved to increase the asking price. Dave examines the winger's exciting potential, his impressive dribbling statistics and why his playing style could make him an ideal fit for Andoni Iraola.
But would Liverpool still be interested at a reported €60m valuation, or has Valencia's decision priced the Reds out of a potential deal?
Attention also turns to Ronald Araujo, who has made a positive impression since arriving at Anfield. Dave discusses the defender's comments about his future, his connection with Liverpool supporters and the uncertainty surrounding a possible permanent move from Barcelona.
There are significant questions about Liverpool's experienced stars too. With Alisson Becker attracting reported interest from Juventus, Saudi Arabia and Flamengo, Dave considers whether the Brazilian goalkeeper could be approaching his final season at Anfield.
Virgil van Dijk's future is another major talking point, with Dave making a passionate case for Liverpool to offer their captain a new two-year contract rather than reducing his role as younger defenders emerge.
Elsewhere, Liverpool's midfield shortlist continues to develop, with Felix Nmecha, Lamine Camara, Alex Scott and Manu Koné all discussed. There's also a look at young American forward Justin Ellis and Liverpool's ongoing search for emerging talent.
Finally, attention turns to Brighton's visit to Anfield, with Iraola preparing his side for a difficult Premier League encounter against one of the division's most dangerous attacking teams.
Will Liverpool pursue Otorbi at €60m? Could Alisson and Van Dijk be approaching the end of their Anfield careers? And can Liverpool secure a crucial victory over Brighton?
All this and more on Newsround with Dave Davis.

Gags Tandon and Grizz Khan return for an emotional and fascinating Chat G&G, reflecting on the impact of Diogo Jota's tragic passing and whether Liverpool's struggles last season were judged too harshly. The pair also debate Alexis Mac Allister's resurgence before turning their attention to Trent Alexander-Arnold's uncertain future at Real Madrid.
