John Barnes has backed Arthur Melo to become a Liverpool player in the long-term - but on one condition.
The Reds signed Arthur on loan for the rest of the season from Juventus on transfer deadline day. Liverpool moved quickly before the window closed to bring in a new midfielder amid the club’s ongoing injury problems in that area of the pitch.
Arthur was only linked with Liverpool in the hours before his signing was completed. The rest of the window was spent dominated by talk of players such as Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni, among others, possibly moving to Anfield.
