Liverpool have made some historic January signings in recent history, with the likes of Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Virgil van Dijk all completing their moves in the winter transfer window before achieving major success for the Reds.
Now, Jurgen Klopp has reportedly already turned his attention to reinforcements in January, despite the summer transfer window having just ended and his team’s strong start to the Premier League.Liverpool have remained unbeaten so far this season, only dropping points on the opening day of the season against Chelsea. Since that disappointing draw, the Reds have defeated Bournemouth, Newcastle United and Aston Villa.
However, the Anfield players are still looking to strengthen themselves, especially when it comes to their options for the future, after they reportedly joined the race for a particular standout player.
What is Liverpool’s latest transfer? Throughout the summer, Liverpool’s midfield rebuild did not go as planned, welcoming in both Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai before losing Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
The failed returns of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia left the Reds without a defensive midfielder, but the arrival of Wataru Endo and the late signing of Ryan Gravenberch marked a sigh of relief at Anfield.According to Tipsbladet via Sport Witness, Liverpool are now among the clubs showing “strong interest” in Tromso IL’s Jens Hjerto-Dahl after watching him play in the Norway U18s’ win over Denn.The teenager was described by Sport Witness as “one of the most exciting players in the Nordic countries”, leading to praise for the young player.
As things stand, Hjerto-Dahl would sign a contract extension until 2027, when he turns 18 on October 31, which could make it more difficult for clubs like Liverpool to negotiate a deal for his signature .Liverpool have already lowered the age of their midfielder in the summer transfer window, swapping Henderson, 33, and Fabinho, 29, for Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, who are not even 25.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t have an eye for future talent, and their stated interest in Hjerto-Dahl proves it.The 17-year-old can play in both midfield and defensive midfield and has already made 13 appearances for Tromsø’s first team this season, scoring three goals and providing a further two assists for a total of five goals. For a player who is not yet 18, these numbers prove that the world will soon be his oyster.If he does join Liverpool, Hjerto-Dahl will need a lot of patience given the competition for places under Klopp.
But as 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic has shown, if a player is talented enough, he will have a chance at Liverpool.
The Spaniard played four Champions League matches and eleven other Premier League matches last season and even scored a goal.
Hjerto-Dahl could see Bajcetic’s journey as one he can repeat if he does indeed join the English giants in January.Link copied to clipboard
