3 players Liverpool can target in January

#1 Jadon Sancho

England v Montenegro - UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier

Jadon Sancho was benched for Dortmund's all-important game against Barcelona this Champions League match week. When asked about Sancho not starting, coach Lucien Favre told Sky that Dortmund "needed players on the pitch who were focused and ready." After being subbed on, Sancho scored a wonderful goal within a few minutes.

There is no doubt that the English international is a generational talent. He can score, he can create; he is the perfect creative catalyst any team needs in the middle of the park. Liverpool have been linked with Sancho for quite a while now, and would face tough competition if they do aim to sign him - but the money will be worth the value.

The Reds lack a creative presence in their midfield. Naby Keita has failed to perform consistently, whereas the likes of Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson are simply not naturally creative players. If the Reds are to sign Sancho, he could move forward and create chances in the final third. His addition to the squad would be a signing for years to come, and would greatly bolster the club's chances of securing a league title this season.

Sancho does have a bit of an attitude issue, but that is nothing Jurgen Klopp cannot handle. Plus, the youngster is English and sooner or later, he must join one of the top clubs in his home country. At the moment, there is no better fit for him than Liverpool - they just have to make the move as soon as possible.
