5 players Liverpool should sign this month

Without really shining in the summer transfer window – just welcoming Federico Chiesa in a one-and-done deal for the future with Giorgi Mamardashvili – Liverpool They find themselves higher Premier League and UEFA Champions League Tables.

Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have succeeded in silencing the naysayers, and as such, it would be easy to suggest it should happen again this month. However, cracks are starting to appear.

Recent struggles have seen Arsenal cut the gap to four points on Liverpool – who still have a game in hand – suddenly turning their dominant title quest into a campaign that could involve plenty of anxiety.

the January transfer window That could allay that worry, as we've highlighted five players Liverpool should look to sign this month.

1

Milos Kerkez

Bournemouth

There was a time when Andrew Robertson was the best left-back in the Premier League, perhaps even the world. But those days are behind him. The Scotland captain suffers what every player experiences at some point at the top level.

Casemiro struggled with that last season – dare we even mention Rio Ferdinand's spell at QPR? Now, Robertson is the latest to suffer a significant decline from his best, and Liverpool must act.

Instead of watching the left-back struggle for the rest of the season, the Reds should move to sign Bournemouth's Milos Kirkes, who is everything Robertson used to be.

An athletic, attacking threat who doesn't have much difficulty going the other way either, Kirkese is the answer to Slott's biggest problem, and those at Anfield must do their best to meet his target. A reported price of £50 million This month.

Jonathan got lost

Bayer Leverkusen

Another problem is starting to creep in Arnie slotThe team comes in the heart of defence. Perhaps the biggest way to highlight this issue is to look at Liverpool's Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur when Wataru Endo had to replace the injured Jarrell Quansah.

A natural midfielder, the Japan international has done an impressive job, but he revealed exactly why Edwards and Hughes should call in reinforcements this month.

With Joe Gomez's injury history back in the day and Ibrahima Konate not back to 100% after suffering an injury, Liverpool must make an early move to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen.

As part of Leverkusen's historic invincible side in the Bundesliga last season, Tah once again played his part in Xabi Alonso's side, as they push Bayern Munich all the way to retain their title.

However, even with a chance to win another Bundesliga title, the German could be available this month given it is Leverkusen's last chance to capitalize before they lose their defender on a free in the summer.

An experienced captain, Tah could replace Virgil van Dijk if the Dutchman fails to sign a new deal himself before the summer arrives.

Arda Guler

Speaking of expiring contracts, Liverpool must also start thinking about players who could replace Mohamed Salah, as the Egyptian has also not secured his future at Anfield – and that is where someone like Arda Guler could come in.

He was mentioned alongside a number of other Premier League clubs Reports surrounding Guler's next destination have been reported in recent monthsThe Reds must make a move as soon as possible.

With Kylian Mbappe, Rodrigo and Vinicius Junior assuming attacking roles for years to come at Real Madrid, Guler would be wise to aim for stardom away from Spain just as the attacking spot becomes available at Anfield.

Although he has a different talent to Salah, the 19-year-old certainly has the star power to replace the Egyptian in what will be a near impossible task for whoever takes over.

The best is yet to come for Guler, who must replace Real Madrid's substitutes with a place in the spotlight on Merseyside.

Carlos Baleba

Brighton and Hove Albion

Although it may seem as if Ryan Gravenberch has solved all of Liverpool's midfield problems, they may still need another player capable of thriving in that No. 6 role if they want to push towards an undisputed Premier League title.

Simply pushing Gravenberch into the ground will eventually have consequences for Slott, just as Jurgen Klopp found in the case of Fabinho a few years ago – and Liverpool must avoid a repeat of that.

As is often the place full of answers for the best Premier League teams, Liverpool could look towards Brighton & Hove Albion in search of a solution. Alexis Mac Allister is already a fan favorite in his second season at Anfield and the Reds would be wise to swoop in and welcome another Seagull to join the Argentine.

After missing out on Moises Caicedo last season, it would almost be fitting if they moved on to Carlos Baleba this time around.

An impressive midfielder who is still only 21 years old, January's deal for Paleba could complement Slott's midfield once and for all alongside the impressive Gravenberch and help deliver a dominant title win for the Reds.

Joao Pedro

Brighton and Hove Albion

While Liverpool's left-back problem remains the biggest threat to their title ambitions, their striker problem remains their most frustrating.

In his third season at the club, it has become clearer than ever that Darwin Núñez is not the answer to Liverpool's problems, and at this stage, he is destined to become one of the rare big-money transfer flops during a period of excellent additions during Klopp's reign. .

Recent reports indicated that The Reds have rejected a £70m bid from Saudi Arabia to cut ties with their attacker, but it's an offer they would be wise to accept if given a second chance – especially if they want to sell before they can buy.

Suddenly, £70m would leave those at Anfield in the perfect position to sign the perfect replacement in Joao Pedro. Having shown shades of Roberto Firmino at Brighton, Pedro looks like a player destined for the top.

Furthermore, the fact that Slott has used Luis Diaz as a dummy player in recent weeks suggests that Pedro is the type of player he is looking for to complete his attacking line-up at Liverpool.
