Hugo Ekitike's move caused waves, since he was Newcastle's main transfer target and fans were left a little perplexed - his fee was quite high and it felt like another transfer move based on potential.
But the Frenchman is certainly a talented asset and we will all get behind him as he attempts to prove his worth over the next few years. However, this week has got us all excited about Alexander Isak again, with a move for him appearing to be a concrete possibility. Two new first-team striker signings.
Of course, he will also cost an extraordinary amount of money, but you would struggle to find a player Liverpool want more. He's the holy grail of the Premier League. What a scalp it would be to sign him.
Just a few things stand in the way of such a move. Newcastle finding a replacement for him and getting a deal over the line and Liverpool shifting Darwin Nunez in order to make room for Isak. Well, the part of that scenario that the Reds can actively control is starting to hot up a bit. A move is likely.
Nunez green lights potential departure route
The main likelihood for Nunez is a move to Saudi Arabia. The current European market is unwilling to take a risk on him at the valuation that Liverpool are persistently holding and Al Hilal still want him.
Of course for Liverpool, this situation is ideal. A financial return anywhere close to the €75m flat fee paid for him three years ago would be an unbelievable piece of business. The Saudis can offer that.
But for the last few weeks, we've seen countless updates about their interest and nothing has really come from them, since Nunez's personal terms are essential to any potential deal going through.
David Ornstein's recognition of the negotiations this week as meant the saga has stepped up a level, so we can definitely consider this transfer to be a concrete possibility now. It's no longer a rumour.
