Liverpool are considering a move for Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge ahead of next week’s deadline, according to reports.
Jurgen Klopp has been adamant for much of the summer that the Reds’ transfer business had been concluded with the arrivals of Fabio Carvalho, Darwin Nunez and Calvin Ramsay. But with an injury crisis engulfing his midfield options, the Kop boss has accepted a change of tact is now necessary.
Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita are all on the sidelines, with Klopp admitting a transfer may now be necessary. “I know we have had this discussion since it all started and I am the one who said we don’t need a midfielder and you were all right and I was wrong,” he said earlier this week.
