Jurgen Klopp did not harbour much hope when questioned on whether Liverpool would sign another midfielder when facing reporters on Wednesday night.
However, less than 24 hours later it looks like the Reds are on the verge of landing Brazilian international Arthur on a season-long loan from Juventus. Klopp addressed reporters and discussed what impact the hamstring injury sustained by Jordan Henderson in the 2-1 win over Newcastle may have had on their deadline day dealings.
"I don’t think so," the Reds boss said on a possible move for a midfielder. "But as long as there's time we should not close the door completely. Obviously, Hendo's hamstring [injury] is not helpful."
