Liverpool have completed the capture of Brazil international Arthur Melo…as Jurgen Klopp gambles on a player with a patchy appearance record to solve his midfield injury crisis.
The 26 year old has joined on loan from Juventus until the end of the season, a deal that Juventus have confirmed includes an option to buy, as the Reds reel from the blow of news Jordan Henderson becomes the latest midfielder to succumb to injury.
It takes the number of absences in that area already this season to five, and perhaps explains the surprise decision to turn to former Barcelona man Arthur, who hasn’t played a competitive game since May.
