The Liverpool fans here in the Transfer Tavern have spent several late night’s supping until the early hours, after an impressive start to the 2016/17 campaign which sees them just a point away from the summit.

There is a real sense of optimism among the long-suffering Liverpool faithful that their team can actually go on and claim their maiden Premier League title this season, with German boss Jurgen Klopp lifting spirits considerably.

With the January transfer window on the horizon each and every club will be sitting down with their chairman and discussing what needs to be done to ensure that the goals are achieved, and Liverpool are no exception.

With Philippe Coutinho picking up an unfortunate injury last week, the Reds have a real need for an attacking player during the forthcoming transfer window and Tavern writer Lee Clarke looks at three potential signings for the club in the coming months.

Marco Reus

The Dortmund forward has shown superb loyalty to his current club even when all around him have departed to play for different clubs.

Liverpool’s urgency to fill the void left by the injured Philippe Coutinho could tempt Klopp into trying to make a marquee signing in January, rather than wait until the summer.

The 27-year-old has only returned from injury himself but his signed would represent a real coup for the club, and also secure the player ahead of his very best years in the game.

Virgil van Dijk

It wouldn’t be completely out of the ordinary for Liverpool to make a raid on Southampton for one of their top talents and Klopp could be making a call to the Saints again this January.

The German boss signed Sadio Mane from the Saints during the summer and the in-form van Dijk could be next on the shopping list for Liverpool.

One Liverpool fan is sat chatting to his pals over a pint here in the Tavern and he thinks that the central defender is currently the top performing centre-half in the league, stating that a move for him would ensure at least a top four place from this season.

Christian Pulisic

Another Dortmund player who Klopp could raid his former club for is this American winger, who is making big waves in the Bundesliga this season.

The 18-year-old looks set for a massive future in football and it would take a massive bid for the German outfit to even consider selling.

With Coutinho out injured Liverpool now have a desperate need to find another attack-minded player and Pulisic would undoubtedly relish the chance to play for one of the best club’s in Europe.

Liverpool fans, which of these three would you like to see signed during the January transfer window? Who else should the club sign? Let us know in the comments below!!!
