adminLONDON. — Liverpool’s summer spending will reach £100million when they sign Dejan Lovren, Divock Origi and Loic Remy this week.
Lovren underwent a medical on Friday after Liverpool agreed a £20million deal with Southampton to make him the most expensive defender in the club’s history. Lovren will fly out to the USA to join up with his new team-mates once his medical is approved.
An announcement was expected on the £10million signing of Origi yesterday , but he is expected to return to Lille on loan.
Meanwhile, Adam Lallana’s hopes of making a flying start to his Liverpool career have suffered a huge blow with a knee injury that will rule him out for six weeks.
The England midfielder, who has been training with Liverpool for just four days after making a £23.6million switch from Southampton, will miss the first three games of the Barclays Premier League campaign – a home clash with his old club and trips to Manchester City and Tottenham.
He is also likely to miss the opening Euro 2016 qualifier away to Switzerland on September 8. Lallana was hurt during a training drill on Thursday and Liverpool’s fears were realised following the results of a scan.
He has suffered lateral collateral ligament damage and has his knee in a brace but he does not require surgery. — Mailonline.
