No sooner does news break that Neco Williams looks to be on his way, than we hear Nat Phillips may well be following him out of Anfield.
Liverpool reportedly want £12m for the 24-year-old and he is already attracting interest from Newcastle, Southampton, Burnley and Brighton.
Phillips stood in at centre-back as Jurgen Klopp struggled to find cover for the injured Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, making 20 appearances for the Reds and winning fans over with his no-nonsense, hard-man defending.
Selling fringe players before first-team players are back fully fit and new back-up signings are yet to be made could prove to be a risky strategy.
