‘Liverpool need a defender by January 3’ – Aldridge wants Reds to quickly deliver more transfer ‘magic’

The former frontman wants Jurgen Klopp to move fast now that another window has opened, although he concedes that finding value will be tough

Liverpool need to be looking at tying up a deal for a new centre-half by January 3 according to John Aldridge, with the Reds board charged with the task of delivering more transfer “magic”.

The reigning Premier League champions have found considerable value in recent deals, including Mohamed Salah, Alisson, Virgil van Dijk and Diogo Jota.

More of the same may be required in the current window, with a string of untimely injuries leaving Jurgen Klopp down to the bare bones at the back.
