Summer free agents Liverpool should speak to in January

The international break is a good time to reflect on the season so far and also to look ahead to the future.

Whilst many of his players are scattered all over the world, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp should, in theory, have more time to look at the needs of his squad alongside Mike Edwards and identify the players he’d like to bring in.

As Liverpool have shown with defender Joel Matip, a wise January strategy can be to look at the players whose contracts are about to expire in the summer and look to tie them down with an early agreement.

Liverpool did that with Matip and got themselves a high-quality player for free and he’s immediately made an impact.

The Reds are allowed to speak to any player who is playing abroad if their contract expires in the summer and there are plenty of good ones who could be available.
