Steamrolling their way to a Premier League title last season, Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool haven’t quite found the same form this year.
Losing their last three home league games against Burnley, Brighton and Manchester City, the Reds have looked a shadow of their former selves, with the German manager struggling to turn the situation around.
The injuries to his defence haven’t helped, of course, but the normally free scoring attacking trio haven’t had the same efficiency in front of goal, which is why a rejuvenation could be in the works, with a Leeds United player in mind.
Having already brought in Diogo Jota from Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool are also looking at Raphinha, currently at Elland Road.
The Brazilian only moved to Yorkshire from Stade Rennais FC in the summer, but France Football report on Monday that his early impact in Marcelo Bielsa’s plans means he is ‘high on the list of Liverpool scouts for next year’.
The 24-year-old, who cost Leeds €17m up front with €6m in potential bonuses, has already scored four goals and assisted another four in 16 Premier League appearances.
