Transfer expert Dean Jones says that there is a 'possibility' that Liverpool sign a defender and central midfielder after completing the signing of Cody Gakpo.

The Lowdown: Gakpo signs

The Reds have already completed the signing of Gakpo from PSV for a reported transfer fee of £37m plus add-ons.

Jurgen Klopp has claimed that there is a 'chance' that the winger could feature in their Premier League game away at Brentford this evening, but it seems he may not be the only signing that comes through the doors at Anfield in this window.

The Latest: Defender and midfielder next?

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Jones has claimed that there is a 'possibility' that the Merseyside club sign a defender and central midfielder alongside Gakpo in January:

We know there’s a possibility of a defender, there’s still the possibility of a central midfielder. Now they can really focus on those two things.

“For all we know, they might have already been making headway. They keep these things so quiet, you never know what might already be going on.”

The Verdict: Exciting

The thought of Liverpool potentially making three signings in this window - including Gakpo - should come as music to the ears of supporters.

For midfielders, they have been linked with the likes of Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham and Brighton and Hove Albion's Moises Caicedo, while Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar has been touted as a possible defensive addition.

However, Klopp has recently insisted that the club will not be 'splashing the cash' after the signing of Gakpo, so perhaps only one of these signings is realistic come the end of January.

Nonetheless, the Reds could do with reinforcements in order to help them get back into the UEFA Champions League spots.
