We 'signed' Arthur Melo for Liverpool as deadline day transfer issue highlighted

With midfield injuries continuing to pile up, Liverpool are trying to sign Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo before the transfer window closes tonight.

Jordan Henderson limped off in Liverpool 's 2-1 victory over Newcastle on Wednesday evening, with Jurgen Klopp confirming the Reds captain picked up a hamstring issue. Henderson now joins Thiago, Naby Keita and Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain on the list of injured midfielders, with Curtis Jones just returning from a spell on the sidelines.

Klopp also admitted that the Reds were in the market for a midfielder if the right players became available, but after Henderson's injury, Liverpool are trying to sort a last-minute deal for Brazilian midfielder Arthur. The Reds are looking to sign the 26-year-old on a season-long loan, but Arthur hasn't played a game for Juventus since May, with the Brazilian having also picked up 15 different injuries since 2019.
