John Barnes thinks Kalidou Koulibaly should be the only player Liverpool consider signing in January amid their defensive crisis.

'If Koulibaly comes, he's a player that could play alongside Van Dijk when he returns so it would be easy to talk Koulibaly into joining Liverpool, unlike some other top players because he's a person that if he comes would go straight into the first team and play every match,' Barnes told BonusCodeBets.co.uk.



'Aside from Koulibaly, I don't think there's anyone out there that Liverpool would look to get in January.



'If Liverpool are unable to get anyone to improve the first team then why sign a new player?

Asked if Liverpool's squad could hold up without further additions, Barnes added: 'Other teams will have players that will get injured, not just Liverpool players.

'If it is just Liverpool players getting injured and not Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham players then it's going to be a factor in the title race.
