Liverpool have been struggling with their left-back options this season and, although James Milner has deputised well in that position this campaign, it’s unlikely that he’ll keep that level of performance up for the whole season.

Alberto Moreno, albeit decent against Crystal Palace last weekend, has proved to be too inconsistent to be trusted in that role, so Klopp could look to bring in another left-back during January.

One he should keep his eye on is Tottenham’s Ben Davies.

The Welsh international was sensational for his country in their run to the Euro 2016 semi-finals and, when he has appeared for Spurs this season, he’s maintained that level of performance.

However, with Danny Rose ahead of him in the pecking order, it’s going to be difficult for Davies to nail down a regular starting berth, so he might be interested in moving if he’s guaranteed first team football somewhere else.

One club that could offer him that are Liverpool, and Klopp should consider a move for the 23-year-old in January.

    When you say ‘Spurs’ do you mean ‘pay a very healthy price for one of Tottenham’s fringe players’? If yes, then yeah maybe Liverpool could have a chance of signing Tom Carroll (who I’ve always liked, so not slagging him off).

    As for Ben Davies, though, forget it…zero chance! Folk don’t appreciate just how important having two regularly used players for each full-back position is for Poch’s system. Or how he likes to have a relatively small squad but with versatile players to keep everyone involved while offering multiple cover for most positions. Davies is young, sees plenty of game time and can cover centre-half. Until Spurs have a better player to step up from the academy, why would they sell Davies? They would only have to go out and buy someone as good and equally happy to play his role.

    At 24, Carroll isn’t really that young. I think many Spurs fans had really high hopes for him, and there were the usual absurd labels like ‘the new Xavi’ thrown at him by half-wits. I’m not sure he’d have what it takes to break into the Liverpool first XI, let alone the second XI. He has a single season in the PL at Swansea under his belt, during which he really didn’t shine.

    To be honest, I think retaining Allen (unless he was desperate for first team football) would have been a wiser step than going for Carroll. You’ll also have the pleasure of dealing with Levy in trying to prise away a player who only recently signed a new contract. I’d rather have teeth pulled with no anaesthetic than have to do that…
