Liverpool legend John Aldridge has again urged manager Jurgen Klopp to buy a defender in January.

Aldridge says Klopp must be careful with the workload of Fabinho and Joel Matip.

He told the Sunday World: "Matip and Fabinho are good enough to win Liverpool the title if they stay fit, but it is asking too much for those two to play every game between now and next May and that's why Liverpool need to spend some money in January.

"They should try and a sign a defender who will put pressure on Matip in the next couple of years and bolster a squad that is already proving itself to be among the best in world football despite plenty of pressure being applied.

"Make the right signing in January and the gloom all fans felt as star men started dropping at an alarming rate a few weeks back will be long forgotten."
