Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson can see Jurgen Klopp buying in January.

With progression to the Champions League knockout stages secured, Lawrenson believes Liverpool would have no problem reinforcing should they choose.

“Regardless of whether anyone arrives at Anfield in January, it looks extremely unlikely that any of their star players will be leaving mid-season like Coutinho," the Irishman said.

“What [Liverpool] have done so far in this campaign is all very promising, but it counts for nothing unless they cap it with some silverware.

“So, it helps that it is not just in terms of their results in Europe or their Premier League position that Liverpool are in a fantastic situation.

“Financially, the club is in great shape too. If Klopp wants to buy in January, then he will have the funds to do so.

“I find it intriguing that, for the first time, players are no longer cup-tied in Europe if they have already played for one Champions League side this season.

“That could be a factor in Liverpool luring a player who could really enhance their squad next month.

“If they show an interest in someone, he will know he has a decent chance of reaching the later rounds and could be seriously tempted."
