Journalist Pete O’Rourke has provided a significant update regarding Liverpool’s potential business in the January transfer window. Ibrahima Konate’s form is a big concern, though, while Giovanni Leoni’s season-ending ACL injury is a major blow, leaving Arne Slot with limited depth at centre-back.

Failure to sign Marc Guehi from Palace on deadline day was a huge shame, and it could be that Liverpool delve into the transfer market in January. How much do Liverpool need a new centre-back?

A loan signing in January doesn’t feel ideal for Liverpool, with no need to panic in the current situation, even though Leoni’s injury is the last thing Slot needed. Guehi remains the perfect option for Liverpool, with the England international impressing greatly in Palace’s 2-1 win over Liverpool last weekend, but it feels more likely that they will have to wait until the end of the season to sign him on a free transfer.
