"Liverpool brought in £446million worth of players in the summer transfer window, bringing in Alexander Isak in a British-record £125m move from Newcastle United and signing Florian Wirtz for £100m from Bayer Leverkusen. Both Isak and Wirtz have struggled to justify that outlay. Neither has contributed to a goal in the Premier League for Liverpool, who are eight points behind Arsenal."
"For all their additions in attacking areas and at full-back, where Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez arrived, Liverpool did not properly address the heart of their defence. Giovanni Leoni arrived from Parma, but the 19-year-old suffered an ACL tear in his debut for the club. Liverpool had agreed a deal to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace on deadline day, but that fell through due to the Eagles' inability to sign a replacement."
Liverpool spent £446m in the summer transfer window, including a British-record £125m for Alexander Isak and £100m for Florian Wirtz. Both Isak and Wirtz have failed to contribute goals in the Premier League, and Liverpool sit eight points behind Arsenal. The defence has conceded 17 league goals, undermining title defence prospects. Additions in attack and at full-back did not address centre-back needs. Giovanni Leoni suffered an ACL in his debut, and a deadline-day move for Marc Guehi collapsed. January provides an opportunity to sign a centre-back to shore up the defence and support cup campaigns.
