It's been a tough season for Liverpool, who have been plagued by plenty of issues this term - and Jurgen Klopp and the Anfield hierarchy haven't been able to conjure up any solutions in the January transfer window.
The Reds had always been expected to keep their powder dry after spending big money on Darwin Nunez in the summer. But it remained to be seen if that stance would soften in the wake of Liverpool's struggles in the Premier League.
Liverpool did strike early in the window to pip Manchester United to a deal for Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo. The 23-year-old has, however, proved to be the only new recruit to arrive on Merseyside this month.
