Liverpool are still getting linked with a lot of new players even though the transfer window is shut.

The club spent over £150 million on new players in the summer but, it still feels like there are a couple of gaps that need to be filled among their ranks.

At the moment, it's Liverpool's midfield that seem to be causing all the transfer links with both Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch unable to play in a double pivot .

This is obviously a massive problem as the duo have only just signed new long-term deals with the Reds which are set to keep them at the club for many years to come.

And, if Andoni Iraola is going to be the man at the helm for a while, that is clearly a huge issue.

These facts are some of the main reasons why new midfielders are being linked with Liverpool every other day with the Anfield outfit edging closer to getting involved in the race for one " special " player.

is probably one of the main players that Liverpool regret getting rid of last summer.

Indeed, with Arne Slot at the helm, the young midfielder was never going to get any playing time but, now that Iraola is in charge, it feels like the Englishman would've been perfect for his system.
