Ideal January transfer targets for each of the Premier League Top 6

Liverpool - Wilfried Zaha

Wilfried Zaha would be desperate to join a club of Liverpool's stature to take the next step of his career

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have been unstoppable this season having accumulated 46 of a possible 48 points in the Premier League this season. After what was an incredible campaign last year when the Reds won the Champions League and lost the Premier League title by only a point, Liverpool are yet again pushing on both fronts and are currently 8 points clear at the top of the table. Klopp’s men are also alive in the Carabao Cup and will find themselves on a plane to Qatar to compete for the Club World Cup later this month. Incredibly, Liverpool face a potential task of playing 9 games in the space of three weeks starting from their home tie against Watford this Saturday to their FA Cup 3rd round derby versus Everton in January.

With so many games in store, Liverpool cannot rely on their illustrious front-three of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to keep grinding. An injury to any of them could have serious implications for Jurgen Klopp in his bid to win the club its first league title in almost 30 years and retain their Champions League trophy.

Liverpool would need much-needed back-up for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah if they were to get injured

Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha has once again been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park and the speculation will only grow next month. The 27-year-old Ivorian has had a slow start this season following a transfer window filled with reports stating that his desire to play for a top club.

“For me to be better, to achieve what I know I am capable of, I have to aim to play at the very highest level, to win trophies,” he said in April. “I feel like there is so much more I have to offer. I have to experience the Champions League. I just need the opportunity, that's it. And I'll do the rest.”

Liverpool could snap up Zaha as early as January to bolster their squad with much-needed attacking depth. Xherdan Shaqiri has had troubles with injuries lately whilst Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has deputized for Mane and Salah this season, is more suited to play a role in midfield. Divock Origi is an impact player from the bench but hasn’t shown the appetite to be a regular starter in the team. Jurgen Klopp would love to have Wilfried Zaha in this Liverpool team if as he is not only an experienced Premier League player but on his day, is almost unplayable.
