Liverpool fans have so far been treated to one late January treat with the signing of FC Porto winger Luis Diaz.
The 25-year-old arrived on a five-year deal and looks readymade to bolster Jurgen Klopp’s attacking options.
However, the business may not be finished there as reports emerged linking the Reds with a last-minute swoop for highly-rated Fulham youngster Fabio Carvalho.
Albeit much of the speculation has suggested the 19-year-old will be sent back to the Championship table-toppers following a £5million switch, Liverpool fans are overjoyed nevertheless.

Meanwhile, reliable journalist James Pearce was even revelling in the moment as he teased fans with another Monday capture…
No, that wasn’t true! Thankfully, think only you noticed 😉. Monday morning was initial plan. Doing it today instead suggests there could be another tomorrow….

This season Carvalho has scored seven times and provided four assists in 18 league appearances for Fulham.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Valued at £3.15million and out of contract at Craven Cottage at the end of the season (Transfermarkt), signing the England youth starlet for a bargain fee always seemed on the cards.
However, albeit with the caveat of compensation, Liverpool could feasibly sign the attacking midfielder for free in the summer and therefore it would make little sense to loan him back for the remainder of this term.
Having dealt with Fulham in the recent past in deals for Harry Wilson and Harvey Elliott, no doubt all parties will come to a resolution that suits everyone.
