With the transfer window about to close for the summer, Liverpool need to move quickly if they are going to secure a midfielder to bolster Jurgen Klopp’s options. They have likely left it too late to sign their ideal choice but that does not mean there are not players who could add something to the squad.
The club clearly won’t just sign anyone, they will stick to the principles which have served them well. Klopp might have admitted that he “would be ready to risk a bit more,” but he knows how the process works at Liverpool.
The Reds will be looking for someone who is nearing the end of their contract, so who won’t cost too much. If they can address their lack of midfielders aged between 21 and 27, all the better.
