LONDON - Premier League clubs embarked on a final flurry of spending on Monday before the international transfer window slammed shut.

Manchester United and Arsenal made the biggest headlines on deadline day with deals for Edinson Cavani and Thomas Partey respectively.

What do you give the manager who has everything?

Heading into the final days of the transfer window, it seemed Jurgen Klopp's desires had been well catered for as he bolstered a squad that powered to the title last term and won the Champions League just two seasons ago.

Klopp's headline addition was Spain midfielder Thiago Alcantara, who arrived from Bayern Munich in a 20 million ($25 million) swoop.

The Reds boss also spent 41 million on Wolves forward Diogo Jota, while Greek left-back Kostas Tsimikas arrived from Olympiakos as back-up for Andrew Robertson.

But Sunday's astonishing 7-2 defeat at Aston Villa has cast a fresh spotlight on Liverpool's squad and the glare wasn't entirely flattering.

Liverpool have conceded 11 goals in just four league games this season, with Joe Gomez looking especially vulnerable amid suggestions Klopp should have brought in a centre-back to provide competition for the berth alongside Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defence.
