Liverpool are reportedly considering terminating Arthur Melo's loan - just two weeks after he joined the club on a season-long loan.
The Reds signed Arthur, 26, from Juventus on deadline day to ease their midfield woes. Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all suffered injuries this season, leaving them short in that department.
Jurgen Klopp admitted Liverpool needed to sign a central midfielder at the end of the window but was adamant they would only sign the right player. Arthur was brought in as a temporary solution, with Liverpool expected to sign a long-term successor next summer.
