Liverpool can take advantage of their Premier League rivals after transfer deadline day failure. 09:23, Wed, Sep 2, 2026 Updated: 09:23, Wed, Sep 2, 2026 Liverpool will have to settle with what they've got... for now (Image: Getty)Liverpool could look to take advantage of Chelsea and Everton’s deadline day woes by landing Lamine Camara in January.

The latter was closing in on a move to Everton, but overnight it was revealed that the Balogun deal also collapsed, meaning Camara could’ve been sold to Chelsea after all.Alas, that won’t bother Liverpool too much, as they’ll look to capitalise when the January window rolls around by snatching Camara from underneath Chelsea’s noses. He’s clearly a player that is appreciated by Liverpool, with suggestions that they even reached out ot Camara’s camp and asked him to hold out for a move to Liverpool down the line.Liverpool had no intention of going into the market for permanent additions on deadline day, having spent so much money on securing the services of Bradley Barcola.

Instead, it's suggested by talkSPORT that they told Camara's camp to wait, as they would be open to making a move in 2027.Whether Liverpool will be able to get through the first half of the season and still be in contention by the time January rolls around is another question. The Reds have already looked weak in midfield so far this season, and it’s definitely a position Liverpool will need to address in future windows.Lamine Camara was at the centre of a deadline day storm (Image: Getty)It is suggested that Liverpool attempted some business of their own on deadline day, albeit without much success.
