Liverpool are approaching the winter transfer window from a position of strength. The club are not desperate to add players to a squad who sit at the summit of the Premier League table but are prepared to move if a player they like becomes available in January.
The fans are clamouring for new signings in the winter window but Liverpool are remaining calm while being vigilant about potential market opportunities.
Liverpool are looking at midfield and defensive reinforcements and there are already suggestions that they are working on deals to bring in players in January.
The Reds are said to be closing in on a deal to sign Sevilla centre-back Loic Bade in the winter window and the club are also exploring deals for a few other players.
Rayan Cherki has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield due to Lyon’s financial situation but their interest in him could be more serious than anticipated.
The club have unanimity over signing star

Lyon are facing relegation from Ligue 1 due to their enormous debt and will need to sell players to have any hope of overturning the situation.
Cherki is a player who has a high value and Lyon are open to letting him go in the winter window to raise funds.
Liverpool are interested in the attacking midfielder and the club are seriously exploring a deal to sign him.
According to French radio station RMC, the Merseyside giants have been discussing Cherki’s name regularly in their recruitment meetings.

He is one player both the club hierarchy and the coaching staff agree could bring real quality into their squad in January.
There is unanimity behind the scenes about the quality Cherki possesses and his potential arrival at Anfield.
Lyon are prepared to sell but they are not ready to just give him away despite their financial difficulties.
The French giants want at least €30m on their table before they can agree to sell Cherki in the winter transfer window.
With Liverpool showing real interest in him, it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to shell out that fee for him in January.
