Liverpool have made a bid to sign an African star.
Richard Hughes' time at Liverpool appears to be drawing to a close, with his expected move to Al Hilal bringing an end to a relatively short but eventful spell as sporting director.
Assessing his tenure is difficult because it has contained such contrasting periods. Liverpool have enjoyed significant success during his time at the club, but that has been accompanied by several transfer windows in which the recruitment process has appeared increasingly uncertain.
Hughes' first summer was defined by the failure to land Martin Zubimendi, while his third has followed a similar pattern after Yan Diomande opted for Real Madrid. His second window was considerably more productive, with Liverpool securing a number of their primary targets. However, the performances of several of those signings have yet to consistently match the level of investment involved.
That context has inevitably shaped the perception of Hughes as he approaches the end of his tenure.
