January turned out to be an enjoyable month for Liverpool fans.
Despite initial fears over how the Reds would cope with the absence of Naby Keita, Sadio Mane, and Mohamed Salah during the Africa Cup of Nations, Jurgen Klopp’s side recorded four wins and a draw - as well as reaching the Carabao Cup Final.
The club also treated fans to a late surprise in the transfer window when Porto forward Luis Diaz signed for Liverpool in a £37m deal, with only a couple of days remaining.
Here’s a look at all the incomings and outgoings that occurred at Anfield over the last month.

In
Luis Diaz - from Porto (£37m)
The winger was understood to be Jurgen Klopp’s first-choice target for the summer - but a deal was fast-tracked after the situation developed.
Porto’s failure to progress in the Champions League saw the club take a financial hit, with Tottenham reported to be the first club to make a move for Diaz.
Liverpool acted swiftly to get a £37m deal, plus £12m in add-ons, over the line for the Colombian, who has scored 14 in 18 league games so far this term.
The former Porto man will provide high-level competition for both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, as the Reds look to revamp their attacking options.
Out
Nat Phillips - to Bournemouth (Loan)
The 24-year-old was a high-profile exit for the Reds this month as he completed his search for more regular game time.
Phillips is understood to have been in demand , with Liverpool turning down two offers in the region of £7m for the centre-back, with him valued between £12-£15m by the club.
He joined Bournemouth on loan for the rest of the season, with Scott Parker’s side pushing for promotion to the Premier League.
Neco Williams - to Fulham (Loan)
Despite Liverpool failing to finalise a deal for Fabio Carvalho, Williams did seal a late deal to Craven Cottage.
The 20-year-old had been touted with a potential exit throughout the window but seemed unlikely to be on the move until the final hours of deadline day.
The Wales international will spend the remainder of the season with Fulham, while Marco Silva's side hunt for promotion to the Premier League.
Vitezslav Jaros - to Notts County (Loan)
The Czech goalkeeper joined the National League side earlier this month as the 20-year-old continues his development away from Anfield.
Jaros was part of the Liverpool side that won the FA Youth Cup in 2019 and was also awarded Player of the Year during his loan spell at St. Patrick’s Athletic last season.
Liam Hughes- to Stalybridge Celtic (Loan)
Having arrived from Celtic last January, the Northern Irish goalkeeper was on the move once again this year.
Hughes will spend the remainder of the season with Northern Premier League side Stalybridge Celtic, after signing a new long-term deal with the Reds in the summer.
Morgan Boyes - to Livingston (Released)
Having joined Liverpool’s academy at an early age, the 20-year-old defender made two senior appearances for the Reds during the 2019/20 campaign.
Boyes joined Scottish Premiership side Livingston near the start of January on a permanent deal until 2023 after being a regular for Barry Lewtas’ U23’s side.
Tony Gallacher - to St. Johnstone (Released)
Gallacher was Liverpool’s first exit of the January window after he secured a move to the Scottish side.
The full-back spent almost four years with Liverpool after moving from Falkirk as a teenager, going on to make his only Liverpool appearance in a League Cup tie with Aston Villa, as well as enjoying a loan spell with Toronto.
