Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz, who we both waited so long for Liverpool to sign. Then there were Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong as well - both electric players who proved at Wembley in the Community Shield that they are going to be future stars of this team.

Now we are still waiting on the new arrivals of Marc Guehi and more importantly the big one - Alexander Isak. If that gets over the line, Liverpool will boast an incredible team.

But it wasn't just these deals that should be noteworthy for fans.

Earlier on in the window Richard Hughes agreed a dream loan transfer for one of the most promising players in the Liverpool squad.

We're talking about Vitezslav Jaros. The shot-stopper showcased his incredible ability last season, making some spectacular saves against Brighton in the League Cup and putting in a solid cameo against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Before that it was with Sturm Graz in Europe, where he caught the eye. All of these performances suggested Liverpool have another gem, Jaros' numbers back that up, too.

He prevented a number of goals while on loan at Sturm Graz, and now he seems to be doing the same at his next destination.

Back in June in a move some may have forgotten Hughes agreed to loan Jaros to Ajax, and signed a new deal with the Czech star.

This was a dream scenario for Liverpool. Jaros has gone on loan to Ajax to be their first choice goalkeeper. Not only that he's gone there to work alongside Johnny Heitinga, who was an assistant coach to Arne Slot last season.

Things could not have gone better for Jaros in his first competitive match for Ajax either. He put in a brilliant performance, despite facing a record 18 shots against Telstar in the Eredivisie.

It was the first time in recorded history that a promoted side had more shots than Ajax in the Johan Cruyff Arena as per Opta.

But despite this, Jaros kept a clean-sheet, making four saves from inside his own box, and preventing 1.04 goals.

It's quite truly a special performance for the goalkeeper and it's a sign of his potential. Jaros absolutely can be a world-class goalkeeper in the future.

He's just turned 24-years-old. At the same age, Alisson had only moved to AS Roma, and initially he wasn't a starter with the Italian side.

Jaros already has a lot of experience under his belt and now he's going to be playing regularly for one of the biggest clubs in Europe in Ajax.

The sky is the limit for him. Hughes has pulled off a dream deal here, and ultimately despite Giorgi Mamardashvili's arrival, Jaros could rival the Georgian to replace Alisson in the future.
