Jones Wants OUT?! Liverpool FC Can't Ignore Their Midfield Problem
Liverpool's transfer window is approaching crunch time — and Dave Davis believes the Reds simply cannot leave the squad as it currently stands.
On the latest Newsround with Dave Davis, the focus begins with Curtis Jones, as Inter continue to make the Liverpool midfielder a priority target. With Jones reportedly keen on the move and Inter potentially ready to return once Davide Frattesi departs, could an exit finally be approaching after a difficult pre-season?
Dave looks at why a departure may now suit all parties, whether Trey Nyoni has pushed himself ahead of Jones, and why selling the midfielder without signing a replacement would represent a major gamble.
That leads into Liverpool's biggest remaining squad concern: midfield reinforcements. Dave argues the Reds still lack two important profiles — a progressive passer and a genuine defensive No.6 — and insists Iraola needs more tools if Liverpool are serious about competing at the highest level.
There's also an intriguing opportunity at right-back. With Djed Spence attracting interest from Inter, could Liverpool hijack the deal if the price is right? Dave also discusses links to Guéla Doué, whose ability to operate across the defence could make him an interesting option.
Elsewhere, there's discussion around Myles Lewis-Skelly, the uncertainty surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at Real Madrid, Tottenham's transfer plans and what they could mean for Cody Gakpo, plus the continuing wait for movement around Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye.
The message is clear: Liverpool still have work to do — and time is running out.
