£27.5m striker to save Liverpool’s season? Reds’ January transfer ins and outs assessed

It’s been a disappointing Premier League campaign so far for Liverpool after their title challenge last year.

Despite a more pleasing run of form of late, the Reds are still 15 points behind front runners Chelsea.
