Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola targets four midfielders for January transfers

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is looking to bolster his midfield options during the upcoming January transfer window. The club currently struggles with a lack of ball-winning quality following the summer departures of Curtis Jones to Inter Milan and Stefan Bajcetic to Celta Vigo. Iraola has rotated Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Dominik Szoboszlai but remains dissatisfied with the team's central balance. Four primary targets have emerged to address these needs: Alexander Stankovic, Lamine Camara, Manu Kone, and Alex Scott. While Liverpool previously pursued Kone and expressed interest in Camara and Scott, the recruitment team is now prioritizing these individuals to provide a more physical profile to the squad. The club hopes existing relationships between Iraola and his former player Scott may facilitate a deal.
