Arthur Melo's agent has stated outright that the midfielder will 'stay 100%' at Liverpool beyond January amid promising claims that he will return from injury ahead of schedule.
Arthur arrived at Anfield on deadline day, securing a season-long loan move from Juventus as Jurgen Klopp looked to bolster his midfield options. But with just 13 minutes under his belt - a fleeting substitute appearance in the 4-1 Champions League defeat at Napoli - before a serious muscle injury, it would be fair to say the last four months have not gone to plan.
Arthur underwent surgery at the start October with an initial prognosis of three to four months keeping him out until potentially the start of February. And his rocky start to life at Liverpool had led to speculation that the club might look to terminate his loan deal with Juve in the winter. But Federico Pastorello, the 26-year-old's agent, has rubbished such claims.
