Liverpool have been linked with a move for AFC Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window, as they continue to struggle in the Premier League - but their funds could be better spent elsewhereScott Minto believes that Liverpool should avoid signing Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window and go all-in for Marc Guehi. But lets see, he’s not just a short-term fix, he’s an £80million footballer."He's an £80million pound footballer that they could have got for £35million 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?"Crook then added: "I don't think Liverpool are in any kind of financial situation because they went for a couple of transfer windows didn't they? Didn't spend anything, and actually you look at their net spend which is what I was talking about…Their net spend in this summer transfer window was £218million 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 chased Guehi's signature this summer in a deal which very nearly looked like going through until the eleventh hour.

While United bolstered their attacking line with the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko this summer, they could still seek further firepower as they look to qualify for European football for 2026/27.And given Semenyo's impressive haul of six goals from 11 games this season, they may opt to pick up where they left off in tailing the 25-year-old this summer when the January transfer window blows open.Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
