We all know things are going pretty badly for Liverpool this season, but if anything, it might actually be even worse than a lot of us thought. Remarkably, new stats have emerged showing that Arne Slot's side actually have the second worst defensive record of any team in Europe's big five leagues since May. Liverpool's awful defensive record under Arne Slot Just to reiterate, as the table below shows, only relegation strugglers Wolves have conceded more goals than Liverpool in all competitions for the last six months, showing that the Reds' problems didn't just start in the early stages of this season

As we roll through yet another international break, it gives us time to stop and take stock of where everything stands at this juncture in the season. Contenders are beginning to rise while other clubs are struggling for a variety of reasons. With that in mind, we are only a month and a half away from the January transfer window which means the rumor mill is soon to pick up steam once again.

- Manchester United have inquired about the signing of Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi, as per Sky Germany. While Dortmund are pushing to get the 23-year-old Germany international to pen a new contract, any agreement currently remains way off. As such, United are continuing to monitor developments with Adeyemi, who has two goals in 10 Bundesliga appearances this season, and has been at the club since July 2022. According to Sky Germany, both Adeyemi and his agent, Jorge Mendes, are hoping to include a release clause in any extension.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the highly talented defender Deinner Ordonez. The 16-year-old has done quite well for Independiente de Valle, and he is attracting the attention of top teams. Liverpool have been monitoring his progress, and they could look to make a move for him in future. According to a report via Empire of the Kop, the transfer could be on to watch out for the future.

Rodrygo needs a move Arsenal and Liverpool have now joined the auction to sign the 24-year-old Brazilian attacker. He has played just 452 minutes of first-team football this season, and he needs to play more often. The player will be desperate to get his career back on track with the regular opportunities. Moving to the Premier League could be ideal for him.

Liverpool Dominik Szoboszlai is a target for Real Madrid, and they are considering a move for him in future. The player is reportedly going to cost around 80-90 million, as per Fichajes. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can get the deal done. He has a contract with Liverpool until 2028, and the Premier League outfit will not want to lose the player easily.

You need every player to work and I think this season teams have targeted [Liverpool] down the right, Salah doesn't run back, there's an obvious concern for Liverpool down there because he's not getting back and not having the consistency of a right back playing every game. I think teams are targeting down that side. [Manchester] City done it and I felt sorry for Bradley, he needed help.

Liverpool want to bring another attacker to the club in order to help end their rut. The Reds, who have already lost five Premier League games so far this season, are under real pressure after winning the title in 2024/25, with Arne Slot struggling to get a tune out of his side. Losing 3-0 to Manchester City in their last outing has meant even more questions are being asked of Slot's players, especially given the transfer outlay seen over the summer months.

Pep Guardiola praised Jeremy Doku and thanked Manchester City for giving him the incredible present of a 3-0 victory over Liverpool in his 1,000th match as a manager. First-half goals from Erling Haaland and Nico Gonzalez and an outstanding 20-yard individual Doku effort after the break took City to within four points of Premier League leaders Arsenal. As half-time neared, Virgil van Dijk's header was ruled out.

A new deal for Van de Ven is emerging as one of Tottenham's priorities under Vinai Venkatesham's reign, and talks have already been taking place since the summer. But this is both ways, Van de Ven is very happy at Tottenham, he has settled in brilliantly since he arrived, having now emerged as one of the Premier League's best, and his partnership with Cristian Romero is on par with anything in the game.
