Scott Minto has suggested that Liverpool should steer clear of signing Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window and instead focus their efforts on securing Marc Guehi. Arne Slot has had a challenging start to his Premier League season, with Liverpool's defense proving to be a particular issue.

While some might be quick to blame Slot's attacking line-up for their troubles this season, others have pointed out that the defence may need additional investment when the transfer window reopens. "He's an £80 million footballer that they could have got for £35 million but for things going on elsewhere, and if they had put down £40M, £45M they probably would have got him straight away.

And yet what do we think the problems are with Liverpool right now?"

Their net spend in this summer transfer window was £218 million pound less than Arsenal so I think they have got the funds." To which, Minto explained: "So I would I would bring in Marc Guehi rather than Antoine Semenyo," before Crook asked: "Because Van Dijk and Konate have been vulnerable?" The former Chelsea and West Ham star then replied: "Absolutely." Liverpool pursued Guehi's services this summer in a deal that appeared almost certain to materialise until the final moments.
