Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has finally accepted the club could be in the market for a midfielder, after former captain Jamie Carragher made a similar claim.
The Reds have been left light in the middle of the park, with Thiago and Curtis Jones among those to miss games through injury this season. Naby Keita has also suffered a setback which kept him out of Monday night's defeat at Manchester United, with Klopp's squad down to the bare bones.
Sky Sports pundit Carragher spoke up about his former club's need for a "quality" midfield addition after watching goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford leave Liverpool winless after their third league game of the season. Klopp had seemingly resisted such calls, showing faith in his current squad, but the situation has changed.
