My tip on a Liverpool signing is going to Wolves (if you believe the papers) which possibly means Nunes coming to Liverpool. He is a MF and a good one, though I would have preferred us making a bid for Kone.
I should caveat my statement by saying I don't believe we will buy anyone, at best probably a loan deal

Report: Tottenham target Manuel Ugarte in advanced talks with Wolves

Tottenham Hotspur appear to be close to missing out on Manuel Ugarte,
with Media Foot in France reporting that his agent Jorge Mendes is now in advanced talks with two other clubs, including one Premier League rival.
Ugarte is winning a host of admirers after an impressive start to the season with Sporting. The 21-year-old has been superb as a deep-lying playmaker. He is an excellent passer of the ball. And he works incredibly hard for Ruben Amorim’s side.

Reports from
Record in Portugal last month claimed that
Sporting believe that Spurs will make a move for the youngster.
Tottenham target Manuel Ugarte in advanced talks with Wolves
Tottenham certainly have their eye on the Portuguese side. Reports from the
Daily Mail this week suggested that
they were set for talks today over deals for Pedro Porro and Marcus Edwards. So Ugarte will surely be on their radar.
However, it seems that he is now looking set to move elsewhere.
Media Foot is reporting that he is closing in on a move to one of two clubs: Wolves or Atletico Madrid.
That will not come as a huge surprise when you consider that Mendes is handling the Uruguayan’s future. The super agent has strong links with those at Molineux and the Spanish capital.
It is not clear what Wolves or Atleti may spend on Ugarte. But it has previously been noted that he has a release clause worth around £52 million.
And if there is a serious chance of joining Julen Lopetegui’s men, you would imagine that he would not be out of Tottenham’s price range by any means.
Spurs do not need to prioritise another central midfielder in this window. Other areas of the squad are causing much greater concern.
But Ugarte looks to be an extremely exciting talent. And it will frustrate many Spurs fans if he ends up at Wolves.
