Liverpool still have a lot of areas among their ranks that could do with an upgrade or two.

Last term, the Reds massively underperformed which led to them finishing fifth in the Premier League table.

This lack of form then resulted in Arne Slot being relieved of his duties .

Most people expected the Dutchman to stay in charge of the Reds after he wasn't sacked earlier in the season but, to the surprise of many, Fenway Sports Group changed their mind and chose to appoint Andoni Iraola.

From that point on, many different moves occurred and, even though four new players were brought in, Liverpool still have a fair few problem areas among their ranks.

So, the fact that they're now looking at transfers that they can make in the future is rather reassuring.

Of all the areas among Liverpool's ranks, the last place you'd expect them to upgrade in January is their defence.

Jeremy Jacquet and Ronald Araujo have both become key players for Iraola with each of them filling the gaps left behind by Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley rather successfully.
