Liverpool are reportedly ready to boost their title hopes even further with a major signing in the January transfer window.
The Reds are flying high at the top of the Premier League table under Arne Slot at the moment and it looks like the club are ready to make up for a quiet summer by backing him with spending money in January.
‘I don’t believe…’ – Gary Neville’s HUGE warning to Liverpool!
According to the Spanish newspaper TranscriptsLiverpool could now be ready to try and offer around €80m to sign him In-form attacking midfielder Oihan Sancet.
The report states that Athletic would likely struggle to turn down that kind of money, so it could be enough for LFC to complete a deal, with the talented 24-year-old seemingly seen as a perfect fit for Slot’s side.
Liverpool already have a lot of quality in midfield and attack, but Sunset is a bit more of a number 10 player, so he could give the Merseyside giants a new dimension with his style of play and goal threat from the middle of the park.
What do Liverpool need in the January transfer window?
When you’re nine points clear at the top of your domestic league and you’re also performing brilliantly in Europe, it can be difficult to know exactly where to strengthen your squad.
Sancet looks like someone who could be a good fit at a top club like Liverpool, but is it also true that there is no obvious need for him, so could perhaps €80m be better spent elsewhere in the squad?
Liverpool could benefit from a bit more depth in defense now that Ibrahima Konate is injured, while it might also be smart to consider Virgil van Dijk leaving on a free transfer next summer if he doesn’t agree a new contract soon.
Andrew Robertson also looks a bit past his best, so a new left back could also make sense as a priority for Liverpool rather than an attacking midfielder?
