Inside Liverpool's transfer window as two free agents that could solve midfield problems

Inside story of Liverpool transfer window as 'blocked' deal sums up curious January

Having approached the start of the January transfer window with full steam, Liverpool gradually ran out of it the closer it got to deadline day.

The news that the Eredivisie's top scorer was on his way to Merseyside only added to what was a buoyant mood for the club in the dying embers of December when back-to-back victories over Aston Villa and Leicester City followed the return of domestic action after the World Cup.

Liverpool could look at two free agents to solve midfield transfer problems

A relatively quiet January transfer window is now at an end for Liverpool.

The Reds agreed to sign Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven before the new year had even arrived. Since then, Liverpool continue to be linked with potential new signings.

Midfield has been the area of the pitch where the majority of the rumours have been concentrating on for much of the window. A host of names have been linked with a move to Anfield over the last few weeks.

Jude Bellingham, Enzo Fernandez, Sofyan Amrabat, Moises Caicedo, Ruben Neves and Conor Gallagher are just some of the names linked with Liverpool this month. If any of those are to make the move to Anfield though, they'll now have to wait until the summer.
