Liverpool reportedly had a part to play in one of the most dramatic stories of transfer deadline day as ar rival Premier League club have been left fuming.There wasn’t exactly a flurry of activity at Anfield on Tuesday, with the only signing being that of Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, who’ll remain with Genk on loan this season. There were a handful of late loan exits (including Harvey Elliott to Valencia), while Stefan Bajcetic joined Celta Vigo on a permanent deal.The Reds didn’t make any midfield additions on deadline day, but there’s one such player they seemingly have in mind for a future transfer.Liverpool involved in Lamine Camara deadline day dramaOne of the big soap operas yesterday involved Lamine Camara, for whom Chelsea had an initial £38.5 bid rejected before later agreeing a £47m deal for the Monaco midfielder, who was given permission to complete a medical.However, after then agreeing to sell Folarin Balogun to Everton (a move which later collapsed), the Ligue 1 club backed out of the deal to sell the Senegal international, which left Stamford Bridge chiefs raging (Sky Sports).Reports from talkSPORT have claimed that Liverpool made a phone call to Monaco on Tuesday to ask them to delay the sale of Camara, before Les Monegasques later pulled the plug.The Reds hadn’t intended to sign the 22-year-old on deadline day but did signal their intention to the player and his club that they could come back in for him next year if he didn’t join Chelsea.(Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images)Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?

We just hope that doesn’t come too late for the sake of the Reds’ campaign.The post Liverpool played their part in deadline day transfer drama which has left rival PL club furious appeared first on The Empire of The Kop.
