Top 5 players Liverpool should target in the January transfer window

#3 Jude Bellingham

Borussia Dortmund v Sporting CP: Group C - UEFA Champions League

Despite being just 18 years old, Jude Bellingham made people sit up and take notice with his powerful displays. The English wonderkid remains a vital presence behind Erling Haaland for Borussia Dortmund, demonstrating his world class capabilities on the pitch.

Bellingham's darting runs and his ability to dictate the pace of the game make him one of the midfielders in the Bundesliga. The midfielder has started the current campaign well, bagging up two goals and four assists for Dortmund in all competitions.

Considering his current standards, Bellingham could be a force to reckon with in coming years. For Liverpool, he can be a long-term solution in midfield and Jurgen Klopp's team will only benefit from Bellingham's presence.

#2 Houssem Auoar

Olympique Lyonnais v Bayern Munich - UEFA Champions League Semi Final

Like Jude Bellingham, Houssem Aouar is someone who has immense potential. The playmaker has already made 181 appearances for Lyon, scoring 34 goals and providing 33 assists. Known for his creativity upfront, Aouar has been a pivotal presence for the Ligue 1 club.

Aouar's potential has generated a lot of interest from big clubs across Europe. He was reportedly on the list for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur but that transfer never materialized. The creative midfielder is known for breaking defensive lines with his passes and creating chances with effortless ease.

Liverpool are yet to fill the gap Gini Wijnaldum left when the player moved as a transfer free to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer. Aouar has two years left on his contract and it's likely that he will soon find a new club. The French midfielder will only help Liverpool revamp their squad and increase their depth.

#1 Karim Adeyemi

FC Red Bull Salzburg v Lille OSC: Group G - UEFA Champions League

Karim Adeyemi is enjoying his breakthrough season in the German top flight this season. The 19-year old has proved himself to be an undisputed starter for Salzburg since the departure of Haaland and Patson Daka. The German forward has already racked up a whopping 11 goals in all competitions this season, providing two more.

Adeyemi is one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga, with the sharpshooter gaining confidence with each strike. The forward has also been called up for Germany due to his exploits, with the youngster repaying the faith with a debut goal.

Despite Liverpool's attacking trio in good form, Adeyemi can be pivotal with his prowess in front of goal. Firmino and Jota have not been up to the mark recently, which leaves the centre-forward position open for the taking. Signing the German forward will only increase Liverpool's firepower but they must move early to secure the player.
