Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool to proceed with caution as they look to boost their options in midfield.
Injuries to Thiago Alcantara and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have left the Reds light in that area of their squad. Before the season kicked off, the Mirror had revealed that Liverpool would put their search for a new midfielder on the backburner until next summer when they would prioritise a move for Jude Bellingham.
But with their squad already looking stretched in the first week of the new season, there have been suggestions that they could move up their plans to this summer. Bellingham remains their top target, but Borussia Dortmund are highly unlikely to sell him this year.
