Brentford head coach Andoni Iraola has spoken candidly about Liverpool's transfer priorities, describing certain areas of the squad as in need of reinforcement ahead of the upcoming season.

Iraola acknowledged that the club's requirements in the transfer market are clear-cut, using the word "obvious" to characterise the positions where investment is needed. The comments signal that Liverpool are expected to be active as the window progresses.

The Spanish manager has been focused on strengthening his side ahead of a new campaign, and his public acknowledgment of squad gaps suggests the club are working to address them before the season gets underway.
