Liverpool's big-money investment on transfers is the result of long-term planning, club CEO Billy Hogan said, adding that winning a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title convinced the club it was time to act like a modern powerhouse.

Liverpool are ready to break the British transfer record again for Alexander Isak and Newcastle are lining up Benjamin Sesko as a potential replacement, plus more.

Hogan believes the show of ambition this transfer window underlines the desire of FSG to ensure Liverpool build on last season's title win
