After a disappointing start to the season, Jurgen Klopp will be looking to bring in reinforcements in 2023. The January transfer window is always difficult for clubs to find the right players at the right price, but if Liverpool want to gain ground on the league leaders, then additions in January may be necessary.

Midfield has been a problem position for Liverpool this season. Harvey Elliot and Fabio Carvalho have played in a midfield three at times, probably a little too soon for the young duo.

With James Milner and Jordan Henderson showing signs of declining as they reach the latter stage of their careers, midfield reinforcements could be a priority for Liverpool.
