Liverpool planning two big signings in January

Liverpool are planning two big signings when the transfer window reopens in January, according to Football Insider.

The Merseyside giants had a relatively quiet summer transfer window and they made just one outfield signing in Federico Chiesa.

The fans were expecting plenty of transfer activity under their new manager and it is claimed that things could change in the New Year.

Arne Slot is reportedly keen on bringing a new central midfielder this winter while a left-footed centre-back is another top priority.

Virgil van Dijk has been the Reds' first-choice for the left centre-back role, but the club are preparing for the worst case scenario.

His current deal expires at the end of the campaign and as things stand, the hierarchy have not opened talks over an extension.

There is a possibility that the former Southampton man could walk away from the Reds on a free transfer at the end of June.

Goncalo Inacio is apparently the top centre-back target for the Reds.
