After signing Cody Gakpo for an initial £37m, it remains to be seen if Liverpool will strengthen their squad further in the current transfer window.
Following the Dutchman’s arrival, Jurgen Klopp admitted the deal could impact any future Reds business in January and that he doesn’t expect to “splash the cash” in this month’s transfer window as a result. But that doesn’t make any further winter deals impossible.
While Anfield sources have stressed that a mid-season move for any midfielder remains unlikely following the signing of the forward, the club will continue to assess their options - as they do in every transfer window. For example, their summer business last year was considered complete before injuries prompted them to bring in Arthur Melo on loan, while attractive fees and rival interest saw them act opportunistically to bring in both Gakpo and Luis Diaz mid-season despite initially planning to make such moves in the close-season.
