Liverpool fans send January transfer window message over two top targets

Liverpool fans believe the club need to enter the January transfer market to sign a defender - with two names topping the shopping list.

We asked Reds supporters to fill in a short survey on their wishes ahead of the new window and the results sent a clear message.

A huge 98% of fans said that business needs to be done this month.

51% think two signings are necessary, 32% said just one and 15% reckon three or more are required.

Unsurprisingly given Liverpool's current injury issues in defence, 79% of fans said centre-back was the biggest priority.

This was followed by full-back on 9% and then attacking midfield on 4%.

And when it came to fantasy football and nominating a specific target, Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly was the standout choice with 40%.

He was closely followed by RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano on 35%.

And a third centre-back was next - Ozan Kabak of Schalke with 8%.

Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele was fourth on 4%.

It remains to be seen whether Klopp is tempted to move for a centre-back to bolster his injury crisis in that department.

But Anfield sources have suggested January will be a quiet month, with no major incomings or outgoings.

They have indicated that any significant recruitment work going on at present would be mainly looking ahead to the summer window.
