Liverpool's chances of bringing in a midfielder appear to be unlikely in this current transfer window after Jurgen Klopp admitted he "made a mistake" when opting not to sign an addition to the middle of the park earlier in the summer.
The owner of Liverpool, John W Henry, was at Anfield on Saturday to witness the Reds defeat Bournemouth in a record-equalling 9-0 win on Saturday afternoon, but it is unknown as to whether he will fund a move for a new player in the middle of the pitch.
Jurgen Klopp currently has Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain missing through injury as the midfield looks heavily depleted, leading to cries for reinforcements to be made before the window shuts on Thursday.
