Liverpool's midfield department has developed into a problem area this season.

After targeting Aurélien Tchouaméni as a solution in the summer transfer window, the Frenchman proceeded to join Real Madrid, with Jürgen Klopp making the controversial decision to stick rather than twist when it comes to sourcing an alternative option.



With the World Cup currently ongoing, Klopp will surely be watching from afar as a means of assessing potential candidates to fix his engine room in 2023.



The Reds boss put his faith in seasoned performers such as James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keïta, with Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcântara also over the age of 30.



He scored against Mexico in Argentina's most recent World Cup match, but Liverpool will surely hope he drifts under the radar moving forward.

He's already scored a goal at the World Cup and if he continues on his current trajectory, he could end up going down as an all-time great.

Perhaps the most obvious option playing at the World Cup is Jude Bellingham, who is widely regarded as Klopp's first-choice target ahead of 2023.
