NEWSROUND WITH DAVE DAVIS | PART 3

Dave Davis returns for the final part of Newsround, covering Liverpool's latest transfer developments, major contract decisions and the growing anticipation ahead of Brighton's visit to Anfield.

Liverpool's reported interest in Valencia youngster David Otorbi takes centre stage, with claims that the Reds were prepared to activate his original release clause before Valencia moved to increase the asking price. Dave examines the winger's exciting potential, his impressive dribbling statistics and why his playing style could make him an ideal fit for Andoni Iraola.

But would Liverpool still be interested at a reported €60m valuation, or has Valencia's decision priced the Reds out of a potential deal?

Attention also turns to Ronald Araujo, who has made a positive impression since arriving at Anfield. Dave discusses the defender's comments about his future, his connection with Liverpool supporters and the uncertainty surrounding a possible permanent move from Barcelona.

There are significant questions about Liverpool's experienced stars too. With Alisson Becker attracting reported interest from Juventus, Saudi Arabia and Flamengo, Dave considers whether the Brazilian goalkeeper could be approaching his final season at Anfield.

Virgil van Dijk's future is another major talking point, with Dave making a passionate case for Liverpool to offer their captain a new two-year contract rather than reducing his role as younger defenders emerge.

Elsewhere, Liverpool's midfield shortlist continues to develop, with Felix Nmecha, Lamine Camara, Alex Scott and Manu Koné all discussed. There's also a look at young American forward Justin Ellis and Liverpool's ongoing search for emerging talent.

Finally, attention turns to Brighton's visit to Anfield, with Iraola preparing his side for a difficult Premier League encounter against one of the division's most dangerous attacking teams.

Will Liverpool pursue Otorbi at €60m? Could Alisson and Van Dijk be approaching the end of their Anfield careers? And can Liverpool secure a crucial victory over Brighton?

All this and more on Newsround with Dave Davis.

NEWSROUND WITH DAVE DAVIS | PART 2

Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround, diving into Liverpool's midfield transfer plans, Alexis Mac Allister's uncertain future and the latest developments under Andoni Iraola.

Mac Allister's contract situation takes centre stage, with reports suggesting Liverpool are not currently planning to offer the Argentine midfielder a new deal. Despite his outstanding form this season, questions remain over his long-term future, with Real Madrid links and reports of previous interest from Atletico Madrid adding another dimension to the discussion.

Dave examines whether Liverpool could be making a costly mistake by allowing one of their most influential midfielders to approach the final stages of his contract.

Attention then turns to Liverpool's search for midfield reinforcements, with Lamine Camara, Alex Scott and Manu Koné among the names being discussed. Camara's impressive performances for Monaco make him a particularly intriguing option, while Chelsea's reported interest in Scott could complicate Liverpool's plans.

Ryan Gravenberch's changing role also comes under scrutiny, with Dave questioning where the Dutch midfielder fits into Iraola's system following the manager's comments about his versatility.

There's also a positive update on Florian Wirtz, whose recent performances suggest he is beginning to find his confidence. Dave discusses Iraola's backing of the German playmaker, his growing influence and fresh comments from Bayern Munich about Liverpool's handling of the midfielder.

Finally, Dave assesses Iraola's explanation of Liverpool's tactical evolution, the players' response to his methods and why the Reds must turn encouraging performances into consistent Premier League victories.

Should Liverpool offer Mac Allister a new contract? Is Lamine Camara the ideal midfield signing? And has Iraola finally unlocked Florian Wirtz?
