The Story in 60 Seconds

Liverpool Echo writer Ben Crawford argues that Liverpool could target three Manchester City players if City are expelled from the Premier League following financial breaches. City were found guilty on 114 charges and have appealed, but could face severe punishments including relegation or transfer bans if the ruling stands. Crawford suggests Andoni Iraola's squad could capitalize on a potential player exodus from the Etihad.

The writer identifies Antoine Semenyo, Josko Gvardiol, and Marc Guehi as ideal permanent transfer targets for the Reds. Crawford believes Semenyo would reunite well with Iraola, Gvardiol could replace Milos Kerkez at left-back, and Guehi would serve as a long-term central defensive replacement for 35-year-old Virgil van Dijk.
