Liverpool have been linked with Serie A star midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who one of his teammates previously compared to Kevin De Bruyne.

The Reds drastically need reinforcements in that position with Naby Keita injury prone, Arthur Melo out for months, and Jordan Henderson and James Milner seemingly over the hill.

Jurgen Klopp drastically needs to refresh the position and the January transfer market is going to be incredibly important.

It has been a poor start to the season for Liverpool as they sit 10th in the Premier League.

One name they are reportedly targeting is Lazio’s 27-year-old Milinkovic-Savic, one of the top talents in the Italian league.

He was a name linked with Manchester United all last summer while their pursuit in Frenkie de Jong faltered.

Milinkovic-Savic has four goals and seven assists in 12 games this season, and his teammate Ciro Immobile even compared him to the Man City star.

After a 4-0 win over Fiorentina, Immobile said: “Trust me, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is magic. He’s on the same level of Kevin De Bruyne.”

That is certainly a player Liverpool could do with right now with the City ace already notching up nine Premier League assists in nine games this season.

Reports in the Italian press claim that the Reds are ready to battle for the midfielder, who is valued at around £66million.

However they might face competition from the likes of Juventus and the Milan clubs.
