Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has said that one signing in a key area of the pitch would guarantee the Reds Premier League title glory this season.

Arne Slot’s side have wobbled of late, winning just three of their last seven matches in the league, allowing Arsenal to narrow the gap at the top of the table to four points.

While there is no need for an overreaction, Liverpool need to find another gear in the coming weeks, and a new signing in the January transfer window could give them some extra momentum.

Speaking on Stick to Football [via The Boot Room], Carragher urged the Reds to try and sign a centre-back this month – one who can also do a job at left-back.

“I think if Liverpool haven’t got a player that every other club has, it’s a left-sided defender who can play centre-back or left-back,” Carragher said.

“So Arsenal have got Calafiori, even United have got Martinez, Chelsea have got Colwill, City have got Nathan Ake and Gvardiol all. Even Tottenham have got Van de Ven, who could do a little bit of left-back.

“Liverpool need, I’ve said this for a long time, they need a left-sided defender who can sort of do a little bit of both stature, presence and just a bit more power.

“That’s my only, I think if Liverpool sign that player in January. Nothing’s been linked, but it’s crying out for. I think if Liverpool did that, I’d be almost certain that they’d win the league.”

Our thoughts on Carragher’s comments…

There is plenty of sense in Carragher’s remarks, especially with Andy Robertson creaking at left-back this season, looking a far cry from the player he used to be.

Not only that, but it does feel as though Virgil van Dijk is holding the defence together at times, with an injury to the captain having the potential to derail Liverpool’s season.

Both Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez are injury-prone players, and Jarell Quansah is far from the finished article, so it makes complete sense for Liverpool to look for a player of the ilk that Carragher has discussed.
