Liverpool missed out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea in the summer and could battle another rival London team for their latest midfield target in January
Liverpool might have completed a £150m midfield overhaul this summer, but the jury remains out on whether they sufficiently replaced Fabinho.
The Argentine’s performances in the role have divided opinion, with many wanting to see the World Cup winner unleashed further forward in his natural attacking role. But with Endo still adapting to English football and Stefan Bajcetic being nursed back from long-term injury, needs must for Jurgen Klopp.READ MORE: Jamal Musiala has just seen how Liverpool transfer can give him exactly what he wants
However, Liverpool aren’t the only side said to be interested in the Brazilian, with Fulham already having a bid rejected for the midfielder back in January. Meanwhile, reports, cited by Football.London, claim Arsenal are set to join the race for Andre’s signature. Hypothetically, if Liverpool and Arsenal ended up battling it out for Andre’s signature in January, Fluminense bosses would be rubbing their hands together in glee at the prospect of a bidding war between two Premier League giants. But if the two clubs are left fighting over the Brazilian, he should perhaps consider previous summer activity at both clubs.
Chelsea would then follow it up by rubbing salt in the Reds’ wounds and also signing Lavia in a deal worth up to £58m, after Liverpool had made an improved bid of their own. Consequently, Klopp would turn to Endo. Even without injury, his opportunities would likely have remained limited with Lavia facing an uphill battle to force his way into Pochettino’s starting XI when back fit. His manager boasts a potential £221.7m midfield partnership in Caicedo and Fernandez ahead of the 19-year-old, after all, along with fellow summer signing Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka and Conor Gallagher providing further competition for places.
