Liverpool could offload three players before transfer deadline as Arne Slot prepares late clearout

Liverpool could offload up to three players before the transfer window slams shut at 11pm, according to a new report.

The Reds have been busy in the closing days of the window, signing goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia and Federico Chiesa from Juventus.

They have also allowed several young players to leave the club for eight-figure fees, with Bobby Clark, Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho all exiting Anfield.

Now, according to The Athletic's James Pearce, three further deals could be sanctioned before 11pm.

It is claimed that both Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon could seal loan moves to the Championship, with Hull leading the race to sign the former on a temporary basis.

The Tigers have a good relationship with Liverpool, having assisted in the development of Carvalho and midfielder Tyler Morton last season.

However, Middlesbrough have since won the race to sign him on loan.

Doak has recently earned another call-up to the Scotland national team, with injury having forced him to withdraw from the Euro 2024 squad.

It had earlier been claimed that the Reds may consider a permanent exit for the winger, but Football Scotland report that seven clubs, including unnamed Premier League sides, are battling it out to sign the 18-year-old on loan.

Gordon, meanwhile, joined Liverpool from Derby's youth team in 2021. The 19-year-old winger has spent his entire career since with the Reds' reserve sides, but the club are now open to loaning him out.

And The Times' Paul Joyce reports that the Rams are close to sealing a loan move for defender Nat Phillips, who has been deemed surplus to requirements at Anfield.

He is set to undergo a medical with Derby before spending the remainder of the season at Pride Park.

Phillips signed a new four-year extension to his Liverpool contract in 2021, but his contract now expires in the summer of 2026, meaning the Reds will need to make a decision on his future once he returns to Anfield next year.
