Like many of us after the Christmas period, it's January doom and gloom for Liverpool.
Despite pulling off major coup in hijacking Manchester United 's deal to sign Cody Gakpo before 2023 even began, Jurgen Klopp has been left scratching his head after a series of below-par performances since returning from the World Cup break. With fears that many of the Reds' squad are suddenly over the hill, Anfield chiefs are scouring the transfer market in search of new signings which can help propel Klopp and co into the top four.
While Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez are big-money targets, Liverpool have a reputation for picking up the best bargain deals. Meanwhile, there's the rumbling issue of contracts and Roberto Firmino is among those who could be a free agent come June.
