Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Monday, December 28.

The summer transfer window has now closed and attention will begin to turn to January for Premier League champions Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's side brought in Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas during the summer, making for one of their busier transfer windows in the last couple of years.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.

Monday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Liverpool to poach Folarin Balogun from Arsenal?

Liverpool are reportedly one of a number of clubs interested in signing highly-rated Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.

The 19-year-old has made his first strides into the Arsenal senior set-up this season, scoring twice in four Europa League appearances.

However, the youngster's future at the Emirates Stadium is uncertain, with his current contract due to expire in the summer and no agreement yet in place over a renewal.

The Gunners are keen to keep Balogun, but The Athletic reports that they are increasingly likely to lose him with his list of admirers growing.

The report claims that Premier League champions Liverpool are among those potential suitors, although a move to the Bundesliga is considered more likely.

Balogun will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from next month onwards should he opt to leave Arsenal.



Ajax defender Perr Schuurs rules out January move to Liverpool

Highly-rated Ajax defender Perr Schuurs has insisted that he is not considering a move away from the Eredivisie amid links with Liverpool.

With Liverpool hit with an injury crisis in defence, Schuurs - who is considered a top prospect for the future - has been touted as an immediate solution to Jurgen Klopp's defensive problems.

The 21-year-old has already turned out for Ajax against the Reds in the Champions League this year, but Schuurs has now affirmed that he is happy in the Netherlands and will not be looking to head to Anfield in the near future.

In quotes attributed to the Liverpool Echo, Schuurs said: "I am now a starting player which was my goal beforehand. I am very happy about that. I feel at home here.

"I'm not really in favour of going abroad early. I feel at home here so I want to play here for a few more seasons. It is not always fun to read [criticism]. You know when you play at Ajax that you are under a magnifying glass. But if you come out well, you will only be appreciated more."

Schuurs has already made 20 appearances for Ajax this season after becoming a first-team regular, but the Dutch centre-back is about to enter the final 18 months of his deal with the Eredivisie giants.
