Liverpool have done 'major work' on Ruben Neves and Konrad Laimer before January transfer window

Liverpool are reportedly considering a January approach for midfield duo Ruben Neves and Konrad Laimer after putting in 'major work' during the summer.

Jurgen Klopp is thought to have midfield reinforcements at the top of his priority list for the mid-season window, with much of this season's struggles traced back to issues in the centre of the park. The Reds have just Naby Keita and Arthur Melo to bridge the gap between the ageing core and youthful energy, although the pair have racked up just 20 minutes of football across all competitions between them.

The Reds have long been linked with a summer move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, but could be keen on adding their other midfield targets as quickly as possible. And according to TEAMTalk, they have put in 'major work' on both Laimer and Neves over the summer, and that both could be approached come January.
