Liverpool manager Arne Slot has urged the club’s hierarchy to make a major signing for the defensive midfield department in January.
The Merseyside giants were determined to land Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad over the summer, but the Spaniard rejected the move.
The Reds did not search for an alternative in the transfer market and it has proved a blessing in disguise, given the form of Ryan Gravenberch,
Gravenberch has been a revelation from the no.6 role this campaign and he has played every minute in the Premier League and Champions League.
Football Insider today report that Slot is not satisfied yet and he would prefer a young number six to compete for places with the Dutch international.
Wataru Endo has played just one minute in the Premier League this term and Slot has urged the board to offload him to recoup part of the funds.
The focus seems on signing an emerging star who is willing to share his minutes with Gravenberch rather than commanding a starting position.
