Reds fans here in the Tavern are getting more-and-more desperate for some defensive reinforcements, with their own mistakes causing for disappointment on Merseyside. 

Jurgen Klopp has impressed during his time at Anfield, although he is going to require improvements in the silverware departments.

Now, with them looking to secure Champions League football for next season, the business they do in the January transfer window will have a massive say on whether they meet their goals and expectations come the end of the season.

Indeed, there’s going to need to be some additions to their current squad in the month of January, with a couple of proven Premier League players being the possible cure to their defensive-woes.

With Virgil van Dijk now officially on his way to Anfield, Klopp must look to other areas of the side, though still with a view to creating a more solid base from which to attack, improving the defence throughout the team.

Therefore, with Jurgen Klopp looking to listen to fans by bringing in a defender and a goalkeeper during the January transfer window, here’s a look at TWO stars that he could look to recruit from fellow Premier League sides.

Nick Pope

Burnley’s second-choice keeper has been influential to their sides rise in form after an injury to Tom Heaton saw him start in his place.

Ever since he entered the starting XI they’ve never looked back with incredible shot-stopping abilities being displayed by the 25-year-old on a regular basis.

Already with 9+ clean sheets to his name this season, he’s written his name in the stars to be surrounded by the likes of David De Gea at the top of the goalkeeping charts.

For a Liverpool side that requires a reliable goalkeeper who has the ability to pull off some magical saves, this man may just be the answer.

David Luiz

The Brazilian has never shied away from controversy during his time at Stamford Bridge, with disagreements and strong opinions making for a rocky ride in West London.

However, there’s no denying the quality that the centre-back possesses with his versatility being one of the most attractive attributes for a Reds side that lack cover for Jordan Henderson.

Nevertheless, with him spending the majority of his time on the bench in the Premier League, the Chelsea defender would have the makings of a quality acquisition in the centre of defence.

So, with all his Premier League and Champions League experience, playing under Jurgen Klopp will enhance his ability to steady the ship and his reliability in the heart of the defence, which could make for a cured back-line.
