Arne Slot has declared a January centre-back signing is the last thing on his mind, though that mightn’t be the case for sporting director Richard Hughes. With Liverpool’s need no secret, Slot could not avoid a question on how likely the club are to bring in a centre-back in January during his press conference, whether it be Guehi or someone else.

“But it’s the last thing on my mind, it’s not a topic at all for me at the moment. “Maybe Ryan [Gravenberch] and Watta (Endo) can play in that position, so maybe you are not aware of it, but we have other positions at the moment which are a bit more of an issue.” Liverpool need further depth at centre-back with six months of the season still to play, but as Slot alluded to, it is not the only position in need of attention.
