It’s been a quiet first transfer window for Jurgen Klopp.
The Liverpool manager has signed Steven Caulker on-loan, and Marko Grujic from Red Star Belgrade, with the youngster returning to the Serbian club for the remainder of the season.
Reds fans hoping for the club to make a late splash in the window may be disappointed, but they appear to be planning well for the summer.
According to Chris Bascombe, a football writer for the Daily Telegraph, the club have opened contact with Coventry City over talented midfielder James Maddison.
The 19 year old made his debut for the League One side last season, and has scored four goals in 34 games, attracting attention from Premier League scouts.
Any deal for Maddison looks unlikely to happen before the deadline, but if a deal can be completed, the attacking midfielder would return to Coventry on-loan for the remainder of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur landed a bargain when they bought Delle Alli, a young, talented, attacking midfielder, from MK Dons last summer, Liverpool fans will be hoping Maddison can have a similar impact should he arrive.
He’s also eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland through a grandparent.
