Liverpool's start under Andoni Iraola has shown promise, but there's still room for improvement. The Reds are yet to taste defeat, but after five games, they find themselves six points adrift of the Premier League summit.
The defence has certainly tightened up at Anfield, but the real concern lies in the midfield where balance is lacking.
Club hierarchy is keen to address this issue in the upcoming January transfer window. Their primary target is Bournemouth's midfield dynamo Alex Scott.
According to TEAMtalk, Bournemouth are not eager to part with their star player mid-season, but they have already started scouting for potential replacements should a monumental offer come in. Among those on their radar are Fer Lopez from Wolverhampton, Arthur Avom, and Kyi Smith.
This proactive approach from the Cherries gives Liverpool hope of securing the deal in January. The transfer could reach a staggering £100 million, making Scott the fourth most expensive player in the club's history if the move goes through.
