Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool outfit have been one of the most entertaining teams to watch in this season’s Premier League, with many people backing them to push Chelsea all the way for the title come the end of the season.

Dropped points at Sunderland on Monday made for a disappointing bank holiday drinking session here in the Tavern for the ardent Liverpool souls however and Klopp will be keen for his side to maintain focus ahead of further challenges this season.

With the January transfer window now open it is likely that the German boss will look to add a couple of players to his squad, in order to give his side the best possible chance of finishing with a flourish.

The Liverpool fans are hoping to see the club splash the cash this January and Lee Clarke looks at two players that the Reds should look to be in the market for over the coming weeks.

Gabriel Barbosa

The Brazilian striker has failed to settle at Inter Milan and a move away from the club could be on the cards this January.

The 20-year-old is one of the most sought-after talents in world football and his hardworking style would fit right into Klopp’s style of play.

The landlord here in the Tavern is excited by the prospect of Liverpool completing this deal, stating that the Brazilian is capable of setting the Premier League alight.

Javier Hernandez

The Mexican striker could prove a controversial signing given his former playing days at Manchester United, but there is little doubt that his career has taken an upward curve since leaving Old Trafford.

Hernandez is in quality form for Bayer Leverkusen and he has netted nine goals so far in this season’s Bundesliga.

One Liverpool fan is tucking into an all-day breakfast here in the Tavern and he thinks that Hernandez would be a class signing for Liverpool, stating that his days at United are in the past and that his work ethic would be an asset for the club.
