Liverpool are yet to sign any players in the January transfer window and are starting to look more likely to see exits instead of a new signing for Arne Slot at Anfield
Two weeks remain of the transfer window and Liverpool are yet to make a move.
Marcelo Pitaluga has departed for Fluminense, while Calvin Ramsay has moved on loan to Kilmarnock. Arne Slot is yet to see any new players enter the fold as the Reds target a Premier League title however.
There was plenty of talk over Darwin Nunez’s future this month but the Uruguay international delivered a timely brace against Brentford to secure the Reds three points. The forward’s ability to claim three points was highlighted as Slot’s side struggled to find a way past the Bees.
So what could await in the coming days? Mirror Football takes a look at some of the latest news and transfer rumours around Anfield.
Elliott speaks out
Harvey Elliott has declared that Liverpool is his club amid talks of a potential exit. The former Fulham youngster admitted he has had ‘friendly talks’ with boss Arne Slot but it sounds like his focus is entirely on what he can achieve at Anfield.
Elliott said: “Absolutely [I want to stay]. Liverpool is my club, Liverpool is my team. I want to fight for my place, fight for my position in the team. I am going to do what it takes. Do it as much as I can.
“Help the team out when it’s possible. It’s down to me to put in the effort, the hard work, the desire, to make that achievement. I am not going to give up, I am going to keep fighting and who knows what might happen.”
Exit expected
Midfielder Tom Hill is set to leave Liverpool for Harrogate, per the Liverpool ECHO.
Hill has been at the Reds academy since the age of five and is now closing in on a permanent exit. The 22-year-old is expected to sign an 18-month contract as he looks to kick-start his senior career.
Hill made his senior debut at Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup in December 2019, before signing a first professional contract in February 2020. However, Hill required surgery on a knee injury in September of the same year and missed nearly two years of action as a result.
The Athletic report both that young duo Tyler Morton and James McConnell are also candidates to leave Liverpool this month.
Kerkez message
After being the subject of plenty of transfer intrigue in recent weeks, Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez has acknowledegd as much and maybe sparked more with his offering on social media.
Following the Cherries’ 4-1 win at Newcastle on Saturday, which included a goal, he delivered a message on his Instagram. “I talk on the pitch” he posted alongside a picture of his goal celebration.
That post saw Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai interact too. Kerkez’s Hungary international teammate wrote: “Yes my son,” followed with the red love heart emoji.
Reports have suggested that the player’s preference for a move is to Anfield.
