Who Should Liverpool Sign In January? | Balde, Rayan & Squad Needs
On Media Matters with Dave Davis and Lewis Steele, attention turns to Liverpool’s growing list of off-field decisions as the January transfer window begins to creep onto the horizon.
Lewis assesses the latest links with Rayan, including reports suggesting Bournemouth could demand the full £130 million release-clause figure. With Liverpool having already invested heavily in their attack, would another enormous forward deal really make sense — or are other positions now much bigger priorities?
One of those positions could be left-back. Alejandro Balde has been linked with Liverpool amid his situation at Barcelona, and Lewis explains why he believes strengthening that area should be a priority, while separating what makes sense from what he has actually heard regarding Liverpool's interest.
There's also the unresolved search for a new sporting director, with major decisions approaching on transfers and contracts.
And one of the biggest involves Rio Ngumoha. Lewis discusses interest from Arsenal and Bayern Munich, Liverpool's emphatic stance that the youngster is not for sale, and why securing his long-term future remains an important piece of business.
Dave and Lewis then look ahead to Bournemouth, assessing Iraola's potential XI and whether Liverpool can head into the international break on a high.

Trey Nyoni vs The Rest: Is He Ready For The Premier League?
On Media Matters with Dave Davis and Lewis Steele, Liverpool’s midfield becomes the big talking point as Andoni Iraola searches for the right combination in the middle of the pitch.
After another impressive performance from Trey Nyoni, Lewis explains why the youngster is now seriously pushing for his first Premier League start and why his willingness to do the defensive work could provide something Liverpool’s midfield has been missing.
The discussion turns to Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister, with questions over which combinations actually give Liverpool the balance Iraola needs. Gravenberch appears to have slipped down the pecking order, while Mac Allister’s resurgence has suddenly made him one of the strongest candidates to start.
Could a Mac Allister-Nyoni partnership be the answer? And where does that leave Szoboszlai in Iraola’s system?
Dave and Lewis assess Liverpool’s midfield hierarchy and the major selection decisions facing the manager as the fixtures begin to pile up.

Liverpool's Young Guns: Are They Ready For The Premier League?
On Media Matters with Dave Davis and Lewis Steele, the reaction continues to Liverpool’s impressive 3–1 Carabao Cup victory over Tottenham, with the Reds’ youngsters stealing the show at Anfield.
Lewis Koumas takes centre stage after a relentless Man of the Match display. Lewis Steele explains why the youngster’s game is about far more than simply running and pressing, how he has adapted brilliantly to Iraola’s demands, and why his versatility across Liverpool’s front line could make him an increasingly important member of the first-team squad.
There’s also praise for Trey Nyoni, James McConnell and Rio Ngumoha, with Liverpool’s academy prospects beginning to give Iraola some genuine selection decisions ahead of the return to Premier League action.
Dave and Lewis also discuss the resurgence of Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo, two senior players who appear revitalised this season, before turning to Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning strike that put the finishing touch on a feel-good night at Anfield.
Are Liverpool’s youngsters simply providing useful squad depth — or are some of them now ready to force their way into Iraola’s plans?

OLISE & RAYAN Links: Who Should Liverpool Sign Next?
On Newsround with Dave Davis, the focus turns to Liverpool’s emerging transfer plans, contract priorities and some of the biggest names currently being linked with a move to Anfield.
Dave discusses Rio Ngumoha’s contract situation, with Liverpool keen to secure the future of one of their brightest young talents amid interest from elsewhere. After the opportunities Ngumoha has already received, the Reds will want to make sure his future doesn’t become another contract saga.
There’s also a look at an exciting 18-year-old right-back being monitored by Liverpool, following an eye-catching European performance that underlined why some of the continent’s biggest clubs are watching his development.
Then comes Rayan. Liverpool’s interest continues to generate discussion, but the reported £130 million figure attached to the Bournemouth winger produces a pretty emphatic reaction from Dave. Liverpool may admire the player, but paying that sort of fee is another matter entirely.
And what about Michael Olise? Dave assesses the latest claims involving Liverpool and Bayern Munich and separates the more tangible transfer discussion from rumours that appear to be feeding directly into what supporters would love to see happen.
There’s plenty happening behind the scenes — but which of these Liverpool links should supporters actually be keeping an eye on?

Liverpool’s Midfield Dilemma: Who Should START?
On Newsround with Dave Davis, Liverpool’s increasingly fascinating midfield battle takes centre stage.
Dave reacts to Dominik Szoboszlai’s latest interview, in which the Hungarian talks about the aggression, directness and all-in approach demanded by Liverpool, as well as the need for midfielders to better understand when one player attacks and another has to stay.
But do Szoboszlai’s performances match the hype? Dave digs into some eye-catching numbers, including his attacking output alongside his considerably less impressive duel and tackling statistics, before questioning claims that he is currently the Premier League’s “most complete player.”
Attention then turns to Alexis Mac Allister, whose resurgence has strengthened his case to be Liverpool’s most important midfielder, while Trey Nyoni continues to push for more opportunities after impressing when given his chance.
So who should make up Liverpool’s double pivot — Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Nyoni or Gravenberch? And what combination finally gives Liverpool the midfield balance they have been searching for?

Why Ngumoha’s Contract Talks Are a Huge Concern
Liverpool are working to secure the future of one of their brightest young talents as Rio Ngumoha's contract situation comes under the spotlight.
On Newsround, Dave Davis reacts to reports of interest from Arsenal and other major European clubs while Liverpool continue discussions over a new deal. Dave isn't particularly concerned about Ngumoha leaving, pointing to the clear pathway and first-team opportunities available under Andoni Iraola, but argues that Liverpool will want the situation resolved rather than allowing negotiations to drag deep into the season.
Attention also turns towards January after Iraola discussed Liverpool's approach to the transfer market. Dave explains why it's far too early to know exactly what Liverpool will need, with the form of Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo's future, Liverpool's lack of non-homegrown spaces and potential midfield targets all capable of changing the picture before the window opens. The ongoing search for Liverpool's next sporting director is also discussed.
There's also a wider look at Iraola's start at Anfield. Liverpool have faced low blocks regularly this season, while Jamie Carragher has called on the players to produce significantly more. Dave argues that patience is essential with the new manager, but the youngsters' energetic display against Spurs offered an exciting glimpse of the intensity Iraola wants from his Liverpool side.
Plus, Dave assesses fresh transfer stories involving Alejandro Balde and Estevão, including why Balde's reported €40m price, lack of football and injury history make that particular January link difficult to believe.
