Liverpool will enlarge their squad for the title run-in with the return of Pedro Chirivella from Spain after administrative errors scupper loan say reports.
There is one Liverpool player who could find himself as a surprise participant in the Premier League title push. Pedro Chirivella is set to return to Anfield from his loan spell in Spain according to Evening Standard.
The Spanish youngster was sent in January to Extremadura of the Segunda Division, the second tier of football in Spain. However he has not yet started again due to problems with his registration.

Extremadura will have to appeal a tribunal if they want him to play this season. We are already in mid-February and so it seems that he may be sent back to Liverpool instead of prolonging the uncertainty even longer.
The 21-year-old has only made four appearances for Liverpool with only two starts. His one Premier League appearance came almost three years ago in a 3-1 loss to Swansea during Jurgen Klopp’s first year as manager.
Since then he has had two loan spells in Holland; one for Go Ahead Eagles when they were in Eredivisie in 2017 and at Willem II last season where he made 35 appearances.
The central midfielder is unlikely to get a sniff of first team action before the end of the season with Jurgen Klopp having the full range of six central midfielders he has used this year available; Fabinho, Naby Keita, Gini Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri.
There is also the expected return of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from injury plus Curtis Jones, who is clearly ahead of Chirivella in Klopp’s thoughts.
The Spaniard is likely to join compatriot Alberto Moreno in leaving Anfield at the end of this season as the Reds face another summer of reshaping the fringes of the squad.
