Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has decisions to make as the club prepare for a pivotal transfer window this winter. While fans are demanding new signings, the club are likely to be more circumspect and careful about any potential deals.
The Merseyside giants are pushing for the Premier League title after making a brilliant start to the season and fans have been hoping that new signings in January will be brought in to enhance their chances of winning the league.
However, Liverpool are likely to be careful and as things stand, the club do not believe that they need to bring in reinforcements in the winter transfer window.
Arne Slot is happy with the depth of his squad and believes the injury returns of several players in the coming weeks will further enhance his options.
However, Liverpool are likely to listen to offers for certain players who are struggling to impress Slot this season and at least one player from the Jurgen Klopp era is set to move on.
Reds star closes in on Anfield exit door
Wataru Endo has made five substitute appearances in the Premier League this season and both his starts under Slot came in the EFL Cup.
The Japanese midfielder is not rated highly by the Liverpool manager and it emerged last month that the club are open to offers for him in the winter window.
According to Football Insider, Wolves are pushing to secure a deal to sign the Japan midfielder from the Merseyside giants in January.
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil is an admirer of the player and wants to take him to the Molineux in the winter transfer window.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Ipswich Town and Fulham have also registered an interest in signing the defensive midfielder in the middle of the season but Wolves are pushing to secure a deal.
Liverpool are prepared to sell him if they get the right offer as Slot is not counting on Endo to be a key squad player in the latter half of the season.
The midfielder is also keen to move on as he wants to play more football and it is clear that he is not going to get those opportunities under the Liverpool manager.
