Liverpool told to consider £40m Newcastle United transfer solution to problem area

Liverpool should make a late move to sign Newcastle United star Joelinton ahead of the transfer deadline. That is according to former Reds and Magpies midfielder Dietmar Hamann, who believes the Brazilian is the 'type of player' Jurgen Klopp needs at Anfield.

Newcastle's former record signing has been a player reborn since the appointment of Eddie Howe last November. Joelinton struggled as a number nine, but is now one of the first names on the teamsheet as a powerful box-to-box midfielder.

Liverpool have quickly bounced back from a sluggish start to the campaign, and earned their first victory with a nine-goal thrashing of Bournemouth on Saturday. The Magpies visit Anfield on Wednesday night, and Eddie Howe will likely be without a host of key players for the daunting contest.
