Dietmar Hamann believes Liverpool should turn their sights towards Newcastle United's Joelinton over Declan Rice in an effort to bolster their midfield.
A lack of planning during the summer transfer window has left Jurgen Klopp's midfield light, in a season that they were expecting to challenge for the Premier League title.
Additionally, injuries to key players have left Liverpool's engine room short at times this season, which has meant the underperforming Reds have had to utilise youngsters Harvey Elliot and Fabio Carvalho in their usual three man midfield.
