As Liverpool fans will tell you, it's time for Jurgen Klopp to sign a new central midfielder.
The likes of Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho are all entering the latter stages of their careers, while Naby Keita and James Milner are both out of contract in June. Liverpool need some fresh talent, as their results this season prove. They are sixth in the Premier League - seven points behind Tottenham in fourth with two games in hand.
Klopp's side also failed to go the distance in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Champions League - just a season after they reached the final of all those competitions. With the transfer window just around the corner, here are the latest headlines from Merseyside.
Dalglish urges Tierney to stay
Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has told Kieran Tierney to stay at Arsenal and fight for his place amid doubts over the Scot's future.
Tierney, 25, has slipped behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in the pecking order at the Emirates this season. Rumours suggest the left-back could complete a transfer this summer to play more often, with various clubs expected to be interested in him.

Yet Dalglish thinks Tierney should stay in London. "Kieran was left out initially because he was injured, and the player who came in for him has done well," he told The Sunday Post.
"Mikel Arteta probably decided to sign Zinchenko because he wants Arsenal to play the same way as Manchester City, with the full-backs playing on the inside rather than outside."

Real Madrid are not expected to make any major signings this summer - giving Liverpool the chance to swoop for Jude Bellingham.
The England international, 19, is Liverpool's main transfer target after impressing at the World Cup in Qatar and in the Champions League for Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund. Several pundits are tipping Bellingham to leave Germany this summer.
Bellingham is likely to cost more than £130million due to his outstanding potential. Although Man City and Paris Saint-Germain are still interested in the talent, Real's new stance increases Liverpool's chances of luring Bellingham to Merseyside.
