ROB Gutmann hosts Gareth Roberts, Mo Stewart and Paul Senior as the panel try to make sense of the latest transfer rumours around Liverpool.

Could the Reds really, somehow, actually be in for Kylian Mbappé? Could the much-wanted teenage Monaco star end up at Anfield or is it yet more eye-rolling clickbait?

And what of Virgil van Dyke? Is that dead in the water now or is there some way Liverpool could kiss and make up with Southampton and get the defender kitted out in red?

All the other talk, too – Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain and more. Who will end up where and for how much?

The Anfield Wrap – with you all summer, tattling on transfers, loving the Reds.

So this show opens with Neil and John Gibbons talking about the mess Liverpool have got themselves in and the knock on effect of doubt around the club. From there though we get back to beach reading chatting to Daniel Fieldsend about "The European Game", Mark Douglas with "Inside The Rafalution", and Michael Calvin on his magnificent "No Hunger In Paradise".
