Liverpool are currently sixth in the Premier League.

So far, the Anfield outfit are seven games into the 2026-27 season across all competitions and, for now, they're still unbeaten.

Obviously, since Andoni Iraola was only appointed in July , there are still a couple of teething problems that need to be solved but, once they're done and out of the way, things should be able to run a lot smoother.

However, some of these problems can't just be fixed overnight and could end up forcing Liverpool to re-enter the transfer market.

With this in mind, several players have already been linked with an Anfield switch and now, they may have just stumbled across a player who could become their very own Declan Rice.

Liverpool's midfield is probably the main area of their squad that's causing them issues at the moment.

They do have four options at their disposal but, when Dominik Szobsoszlai and Ryan Gravenberch can't be used alongside one another, it's far from ideal.

Independently, both players are exceptionally talented but, in Iraola's system as a double pivot, they're woeful.
