David Ornstein has been discussing Liverpool’s transfer plans for this winter window.
Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League table by three points and look good value to stay there.
Additionally, Jurgen Klopp’s men are still going strong in all the cup competitions.
Although a stern test awaits them in the FA Cup this weekend away to Arsenal at the Emirates.
It is widely believed that the Reds could use a singing or two this month to bolster the squad and ensure Jurgen Klopp has all the tools at his disposal.
Leny Yoro has been linked to the Reds as a defensive signing.
While Wolverhampton’s Hwang Hee-chan has emerged as a surprise name linked to Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp has remained coy about January signings, and has hinted that it would be difficult to do any business this month.
However, David Ornstein believes that Liverpool could spring a surprise yet.
What did David Ornstein say?
Answering questions on the latest edition of the Q&A for The Athletic, the journalist said:
“They’ve not been planning anything significant, John, but ever say never — we’ve learned that Liverpool can spring a surprise.”
“Given the position the team are in, the quality at Jurgen Klopp’s disposal and the array of young players he can turn to, Liverpool look very competitive.”
“They’ll look to strengthen again next summer.”
“This is perhaps a more important period for contract talks than new signings.”
“Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all approaching the final 12 months of their deals,” Ornstein said.
Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp have grown quite the reputation for being sneaky in the market.
The signing of Wataru Endo came out of nowhere, while Dominik Szoboszlai was also brought in without much fuss.
Hopefully Liverpool do have a surprise signing lined up to give them that little bit extra in the title race.
