Luis Diaz joined Liverpool during the January transfer window after the Reds inadvertently stymied Arsenal's pursuit of a new striker, and the Reds could hijack two other deals.
After completing the exciting signing of Porto forward Luis Diaz this winter, Liverpool have already begun planning for the next transfer window.
The upcoming transfer window will be the club's first without sporting director Michael Edwards in some time, but that hasn't stopped the club from making plans.
Two Arsenal targets are said to be under consideration at Anfield, and the Reds may make a move once the summer transfer window opens.
It comes after Diaz's arrival prevented Arsenal from pursuing a striker target in the final hours of the season in January window.

The Reds obstruct Arsenal's move.
The signing of Liverpool's Luis Diaz from Porto inadvertently prevented Arsenal from bringing in a new striker on transfer deadline day.
The Gunners were reportedly offered Porto's Mehdi Taremi on loan earlier in the January transfer window, but failed to complete deals for Dusan Vlahovic, Alexander Isak, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jonathan David, and Luka Jovic.
After losing Diaz to Liverpool, the Gunners returned for the Porto striker, who has 11 goals in 19 Primeira Liga games this season.
And it appears Arsenal could learn a thing or two from Porto's transfer strategy.
£118 million swoop plan doubled
According to reports, Liverpool could irritate Arsenal even more in the transfer market by swooping for two of their summer targets.
Both clubs appear to be interested in adding more midfield options during the upcoming transfer window, and could target Aurelien Tchouameni and Youri Tielemans.
Tielemans is expected to leave Leicester City after his contract expires at the end of the season, while France international Tchouameni has been linked with a number of top clubs across Europe.
However, Liverpool's plans have now been revealed.
