The need for Liverpool to address the squad deficiencies that have hampered them this season means that significant investment is required from the club's owners Fenway Sports Group.
With Jurgen Klopp's side sitting ninth in the Premier League table after 12 games, having lost double the amount of matches already that they did in the entirety of last season's campaign, Reds fans have understandably been directing much of their ire to a lack of investment at key times in the first team.
It is understood the club is ready to act in the next two windows to address some of the issues, with the main name linked with a switch to Anfield being Borussia Dortmund's 19-year-old England midfielder Jude Bellingham, although to prise him away from the Bundesliga side would likely take £100m or more.
