Liverpool's US pre-season tour has thrown up plenty of talking points, and BBC Sport's Aadam Patel has been assessing whether Reds fans should be concerned about the club's summer business so far.
According to the report, questions remain over Arne Slot's squad planning as the Merseyside club continue their preparations for the new campaign on American soil. The piece examines Liverpool's transfer dealings and on-pitch showings during the tour, weighing up whether the current trajectory gives cause for optimism or unease ahead of the season proper.
As GoalPoles has reported throughout the transfer window, Liverpool have been active in the market, and Patel's dispatch from the US offers an on-the-ground perspective on how those moves are translating into performances and squad cohesion under Slot.
With the Premier League opener fast approaching, scrutiny of Liverpool's tour form and transfer strategy is only set to intensify. For the full breakdown of Patel's observations from the States, the original report is available via BBC Sport.
