Who does Liverpool need to sign in the January Transfer Window? 

#2 James Tarkowski

Burnley v Barnsley - FA Cup Third Round

Trying to address the aforementioned defensive concerns could be a reason to consider the addition of English international James Tarkowski. With Burnley currently in a relegation battle, it will be difficult for them to sell.

But with a chance of winning the Premier League on the other end, Tarkowski can apply the necessary pressure and force the sale if the fee is right and a replacement can be had.

Tarkowski has been in and out of Gareth Southgate's England teams and the pedigree of Burnley might be a reason for his inconsistent selection. A move to one of England's best in Liverpool will see him have a better chance to be included in future England squads with more certainty.

With Holland captain Virgil Van Dijk playing every minute of every game in the Premier League this season Liverpool should prepare for a potential injury to the Dutch superstar who they in fact signed last January transfer window. What a decision that turned out to be.
