Liverpool are poised to wrap up a shock deadline day swoop for Arthur Melo - but only after other Premier League clubs snubbed a move due to the Brazilian's excessive salary.
Jurgen Klopp had insisted earlier this month that the Reds were unlikely to dip back into the transfer market after they had concluded deals for Fabio Carvalho, Darwin Nunez and Calvin Ramsey earlier this summer.
However, that stance has softened in the wake of the numerous injuries that the Reds have since accumulated in midfield - and Liverpool are now on the cusp of snapping up Arthur, who is surplus to requirements at Juventus, on a season-long loan deal ahead of Thursday night's 11pm deadline.
