Liverpool 'target' Atletico Madrid striker as Divock Origi suitor 'emerges'

There's only a few hours to go before the January transfer window 'slams shut', but have Liverpool concluded their business already or are there more surprise arrivals on the horizon?

The Reds have already captured the services of Porto winger Luis Diaz and are attempting to do a deal for promising Fulham youngster Fabio Carvalho, but here are some other potential deals that are being mooted today.

According to Sports Mole, Liverpool have set their sights on landing Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha.

The forward arrived at the Wanda Metropolitano last summer but has only made three starts out of 17 La Liga appearances for Diego Simeone's men, scoring five goals in all competitions.

The report suggests that Jurgen Klopp has been tracking the 22-year-old for some time and if he is able to pull off a deal, it will pave the way for Divock Origi to leave Anfield.

What?

The Reds could be plotting a double swoop in the summer for Leicester star Youri Tielemans and Monaco prospect Aurelien Tchouameni, according to Sunday World journalist Kevin Palmer.

FA Cup-winner Tielemans was tipped to head to Anfield last summer but a lower asking price 12 months later may make the deal more realistic.

Monaco midfielder Tchouameni is reportedly available for a sum north of £80m, with Manchester United and Chelsea both interested but should no deal be done in this window, a move to Merseyside could still be on the cards.

What?

Origi's place in Liverpool folklore is well and truly secured, but the arrival of Luis Diaz and his limited game time opportunities could result in an exit for the Belgian before the window closes today.

West Ham United are reportedly keen to take on the Champions League winner and have asked to be kept in the loop as to his availability throughout the day, but they are also believed to be interested in former Red Christian Benteke, who currently plies his trade at Crystal Palace.
