# Liverpool: Reds eyeing up at least two midfielders in January

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) could be looking to bring in at least two new midfielders during the January transfer window or next summer, according to journalist Giannis Chorianopoulos.**

### The Lowdown: Midfield woes for Liverpool

The Reds are having a disastrous season in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/), with Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Leeds United a new low point in the campaign.

While numerous areas of the pitch are a concern, the midfield has been the [Reds’ biggest weakness](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/10/jurgen-klopps-big-call-solved-liverpool-midfield-issue-but-will-it-stay/), with the likes of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson looking past their best, and simply nowhere near enough energy and intensity on show in general.

Not signing a midfielder in the summer (barring [injured](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiCjKTpj4r7AhXZQEEAHbuIA30QvOMEKAB6BAgIEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Farticle-11368085%2FArthur-Melos-injury-REALLY-claims-Jurgen-Klopp-ahead-Liverpools-clash-Leeds.html&usg=AOvVaw2uRTH56DacyBc0QG-KwkkY) loanee Arthur) was [seen as a grave error](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-transfer-jurgen-klopp-midfield-25220382), and it is an issue which needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.

### The Latest: Double midfield swoop eyed

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/choria80/status/1586760015700000773?s=20&t=uJOT5rbZwn5iq9bygCvnyQ) on Sunday, Chorianopoulos – [editor in chief](https://twitter.com/choria80) of Greek outlet Sportime – claimed that Liverpool are eyeing up a couple of midfield additions in January and next summer.

He tweeted:

> “Liverpool are considering to sign at least two midfielders in January/summer 2023. One DMF and one CMF (Bellingham priority) at the minimum.”

### The Verdict: Exactly what’s needed

It has reached the stage where if Liverpool don’t sign at least one midfielder in the next transfer window, their season really could capitulate even further.

That’s how big an issue the middle of the park is right now, with too many players [ageing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/startseite/verein/31), or the likes of Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones still raw footballers learning their trade.

A couple of signings would add some much-needed freshness in midfield, which has been blighted by [injuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/teams/liverpool) this season, and take the burden off struggling individuals.

A shake-up in this department could help to transform Liverpool’s season in the process.
