With the January transfer window fast approaching Liverpool will be searching the market for players who can add improve their side for the second half of the campaign. However, they’ll need to make some room in the squad for these new additions by moving on some players this January.

The season has started well for Jurgen Klopp’s side; winning 11 out of a possible 17 Premier League games. The last-gasp winner against rivals Everton recently would have been up there with the most satisfying of the lot. The Reds have also advanced to the semi-final of the EFL Cup where they will be aiming for at least a repeat of last year’s final appearance.

The men from Anfield have it all to play for during the second half of the season. They’ll be desperate to claim the Premier League title, having not won the top division since 1990. They’ll also be looking to bag some silverware that should give confidence to the team, taking them to the next stage of Klopp’s footballing revolution.

To help them with these goals the recruitment team will no doubt be working overtime to identify players who can add extra quality to the side in January. But they’ll need to make some room in their squad for potential new additions. With that said here’s TWO players we here at Shoot! reckon Liverpool should let go this January.

Alberto Moreno

Alberto Moreno has looked a liability ever since he joined Liverpool in 2014. The Spaniard is caught out defensively all too often in this league, and takes too many risks with his tackles in the penalty area.

This has led to the 24-year-old being dropped from the starting lineup up for Mr. Dependable, James Milner. If Milner were to pick up an injury and Moreno had to play on a regular basis, you can bet that Liverpool would concede more goals as a result. They need reliable cover for the Englishman, and Alberto Moreno is just not that.

Mamadou Sakho

Mamadou Sakho used to be a bit of a cult-figure amongst Liverpool supporters, with his ungainly, yet, at times, surprisingly effective style.

Jurgen Klopp has since cut the Frenchman out of the Liverpool first team, as a result of a failed drugs test earlier this year. The 26-year-old hasn’t made a single appearance for the Reds this season, despite his ban being over.

Since Klopp isn’t going to utilise Sakho, it makes sense to get his wages of the clubs books by loaning or selling him this January.
