Liverpool appear likely to have a busy 2023 on the transfer front with a number of potential arrivals in the January transfer window and beyond.

Jurgen Klopp will be hopeful of reinforcing his squad and receiving suitable backing in the transfer market as the club season gets underway again following the World Cup. Here, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest stories coming out of the red half of Merseyside.

The Dortmund forward’s agent Patrick Williams has confirmed an update on his client's future will be provided in "the next few days" and that "every top club in the world" will be interested in signing Moukoko.
