A number of Liverpool fans are excited by a transfer rumour linking Leeds United winger Raphinha with a move to Anfield.
The Reds are going through a sticky patch at the moment, following their humbling 4-1 defeat at home to Manchester City on Sunday.
For the first time in a while, questions are being asked of Jurgen Klopp and his players, who no longer look like the all-conquering team they were last season.
Liverpool have looked jaded in recent weeks, with injuries and relentless football seemingly catching up with them.
Their squad has started to look a little on the small side, highlighting the need to bring in new faces this summer.
Someone who has been linked with a move to Liverpool is Raphinha, who is having an excellent first season at Leeds, scoring four goals and registering the same number of assists in the Premier League in 2020/21 to date.
These Reds supporters are excited at the prospect of them bringing in the 24-year-old Brazilian, taking to Twitter to provide their thoughts.
Long term Salah replacement.
We have Jota to replace Mane.
Now we need a Haaland to replace Firmino.
I reckon Elliott will be used as a midfielder or go on loan to an epl club.— Nunez Szn (@MFLFC_6X) February 8, 2021
Good young player with high impact energy just what we need for our aging frontline. He would add that hunger and desire to our forwards that Mane and Bobby lacking right now. Competition for starting spots is what we need this summer

Watching Raphinha this season has been quite similar to watching Riyad Mahrez for Leicester City when he first started playing in the Premier League. I really like him ⭐️ https://t.co/g8Vdrk4D4z
