A reporter claims Liverpool are not only looking to sign a new centre-back and winger in January, but could also make a third addition in a surprise position.<\/p>\n
Signing too many new players in one go has been blamed by some for Liverpool\u2019s disastrous start to the current campaign. However, it\u2019s important to note Liverpool<\/a> did wave goodbye to numerous stars and the ranks did need replenishing.<\/p>\n Indeed, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez were among those to depart. Tragically, Diogo Jota passed away.<\/p>\n Liverpool intend to spend again in January in an attempt to rescue their ailing season. It\u2019s no secret they\u2019re looking at Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo.<\/p>\n But according to a shock new update from Sky Germany\u2019s Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool could also sign a new striker.<\/p>\n \u2018Liverpool are definitely planning additions in January,\u2019 declared Plettenberg on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018They are looking for a winger who can make an immediate impact, with Antoine Semenyo among the candidates.<\/p>\n \u2018They are also monitoring strikers with favourable market conditions, and they have an eye on centre-backs as well, including Marc Guehi.\u2019<\/p>\n Liverpool don\u2019t need another striker<\/strong><\/p>\n Much has been made about Liverpool signing two top class strikers (Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike), for a system that only plays one up top.<\/p>\n But as mentioned, Liverpool\u2019s ranks reduced in number over the summer and in the striker position specifically.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, signing a third striker to compete for one spot would come as the shock of all shocks. Isak will prove his worth given time, while Ekitike has settled the quickest of all Liverpool\u2019s summer recruits.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, neither Isak (Sweden) or Ekitike (France) will be absent during AFCON around te turn of the year.<\/p>\n Only Mohamed Salah will depart to represent Egypt, with that absence covered by Federico Chiesa, Rio Ngumoha, or even Semenyo.<\/p>\n The idea of Liverpool spending big on another striker is near-unthinkable. But why would the Reds spend lightly on a player who\u2019ll slot in as a distant third choice and rarely play?<\/p>\n The move doesn\u2019t appear to make much sense, though little of what Liverpool have done since the season began has.<\/p>\n Latest Liverpool news \u2013 Semenyo \/ Carragher on Slot \/ Trent verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n In other news, and while Liverpool are keen on a deal for Antoine Semenyo, sources have told TEAMtalk that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are not considering going all-out for the Bournemouth winger as\u00a0the club\u2019s owners face a major conundrum<\/a>.<\/p>\n Elsewhere,\u00a0Jamie Carragher has delivered his verdict on whether Liverpool should sack Arne Slot after their alarming fall from grace this season, and while Reds fans want a rival Premier League boss to succeed him, a respected journalist has revealed a timeline on\u00a0when\u00a0the axe could fall.<\/p>\n
