Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround, as Liverpool's pursuit of Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott takes an intriguing turn ahead of the January transfer window. Reports suggest Bournemouth could now consider selling Scott in January following contract discussions, with the midfielder reportedly unwilling to commit to a new deal. However, any potential transfer would depend on Bournemouth's Premier League position and an offer exceeding £100million. With Chelsea also interested, Dave examines Liverpool's chances of securing the midfielder and whether Andoni Iraola's existing relationship with Scott could give the Reds an advantage. Dave also analyses Scott's impressive Premier League statistics, particularly his ball-winning ability, relentless pressing and ground-duel success, explaining why he would suit Iraola's demanding style of football. But is Scott worth £100million? And should Liverpool prioritise Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara instead? Dave discusses the possibility of signing both players across January and the summer, while explaining why Julian Ward faces a crucial transfer window if Liverpool are to strengthen their midfield and improve their Champions League prospects.

Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround, taking a closer look at Liverpool's search for midfield reinforcements and two intriguing talents attracting attention across Europe. Sporting CP midfielder Sergi Altimira is under the spotlight following reports of Liverpool's interest. Dave examines the Spaniard's impressive statistics, including his 93% passing accuracy, strong tackling numbers and remarkable 75% aerial duel success rate. Could Altimira provide a more affordable alternative to Monaco's Lamine Camara? Attention then turns to Benfica youngster Daniel Banjaqui, a player Dave rates extremely highly. With Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid also reportedly monitoring the talent, Dave explains why Liverpool should seriously consider a move if a deal around £40million becomes possible. The discussion also touches on Liverpool's need for younger, hungrier players who fit Andoni Iraola's system, rather than simply chasing expensive names. With Julian Ward facing a crucial period in Liverpool's recruitment strategy, could Banjaqui and Altimira represent the type of smart business the Reds desperately need?
