Arthur Melo agent makes big Liverpool transfer claim and explains late summer deal

The agent of Arthur Melo has provided insight into how Liverpool eventually moved to sign the midfielder in the summer.

Arthur signed for the Reds on deadline day on loan from Juventus. However, the Brazilian has played just 13 minutes after suffering a serious muscle injury. He had surgery back in October with the initial time frame on his recovery ruling him out until early 2023.

Liverpool moved for Arthur after injuries to the midfielders already at the club. Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were on the sidelines, while there was later an injury suffered to Jordan Henderson.
