The news that Liverpool are set to put their summer spending on hold amid the coronavirus pandemic shouldn’t really come as a surprise.
As all of football remains uncertain in the grip of a global health crisis, the Reds surely aren’t going to be only club to decide to take stock of the summer market and keep their powder dry.
Big money transfers aren’t likely to dominate the summer headlines as clubs hold on to what they have, but that could prove to be a real breakthrough moment for some of the Reds’ top talent.
Jurgen Klopp has routinely given game-time to young players throughout Liverpool’s 2019/20 campaign, but if there are no summer arrivals then these talents could be set for even more important roles next season.

The cream of the crop when it comes to Liverpool Academy products right now, Jones has already established himself in the first-team picture thanks to that wonderful goal against Everton in the FA Cup in January.
I’ve scored in the next round at Shrewsbury too, and with Adam Lallana set to depart the Reds on a free transfer in the summer, Jones seems perfectly placed to get game-time both next season and at the end of this one.

Williams’ somewhat unlikely rise from the youth ranks and impressive displays in cup competitions has ensured that the need to search for a right-back understudy to Trent Alexander-Arnold has lessened.
The Welshman now looks set for a year of filling in whenever Klopp feels like giving his creative right-back a rest, and you can expect to see a lot of him in 2020/21.

To aid his evolution then he now needs some game-time with some of the Reds’ famed front three, and he might well get that next season.

There is a strong case for allowing Brewster to go back out on loan again having impressed with his four goals in 11 appearances on loan at Swansea.
But if there is to be no Werner, then Brewster could be trusted to deputize for Liverpool’s forwards and develop his game during valuable minutes in cup competitions.

The subject of finding a backup left-back to Andy Robertson has been on the Liverpool agenda for a while now, but if there are to be no signings then perhaps Larouci could fit the bill?
Having been converted from a winger to a left-sided defender, the 19-year-old Algerian certainly fits the bill in terms of his attacking instincts, and he might just be a player who could be moulded into a valuable squad member.
