Despite the club’s limited finances, it seems as though they will still attempt further signings in the window.

One of those reported signings could be Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, who has been heavily linked with the Reds.

It was reported yesterday that the club are in talks with the Foxes, with Tielemans happy to join the club.

As cited by The Anfield Talk above, Liverpool’s main advantage in the signing of Tielemans is Champions League.

The report suggests that Liverpool are viewing Tielemans as a replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Dutchman announced yesterday that he had signed a three-year deal with PSG from the 1st July.

His departure has left a huge whole in the Liverpool midfield, that Tielemans could expertly fill.

With the 24-year-old keen on joining the club, and Liverpool reportedly wanting to sign him, it seems a match made in heaven.
