Liverpool 'would love to sign' exciting forward as out-of-contract midfielder 'eyed'

The January transfer window is now open and Liverpool are currently a depleted squad as they face three cup games this month.

The Reds slipped further off the pace in the Premier League title race on Sunday evening after drawing 2-2 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Here is a round-up of all the latest Liverpool transfer rumours on the web from around the globe.

Who?

Arnaut Danjuma, Villareal forward

Football Insider

What?

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes the Villareal man would fit in well with Liverpool's style of play and has been 'really impressed' with his performances in Spain.

According to Fabrizio Romano last Tuesday, Liverpool “really love” the player but will find it “impossible” to sign him in January.

Villarreal have no intention of selling their star forward in the middle of the season.

When asked by Football Insider‘s Dylan Childs for his assessment of the interest, Robinson said: “I have been really impressed with him at Villarreal."

Who?

Roberto Firmino

Where?

"It’s only my gut feeling – I think Aston Villa will go for one big Liverpool player, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Firmino left and went to Villa," Cascarino told talkSPORT.

"I know people will be saying, 'hang on, Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool would never let him go', but Firmino has been a sub way too often."

Who?

Denis Zakaria, Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder

Where?

What?

According to the report, Liverpool are amongst the clubs to have enquired about the signing of the midfielder, who is out of contract in the summer.

Given the situation, Zakaria leaving the German club is extremely likely as they look to make some sort of transfer fee for him.

Manchester United are also reportedly amongst the clubs interested in the midfielder.
