Keep, sell, or loan? Evaluating Liverpool’s squad this transfer window
On-loan Players
Marko Grujic
Has never started a Premier League match for Liverpool and has no future with the first team. Seeing as he only cost £5 million, any reasonable offer should net a decent profit.
Rhian Brewster
Showed some scintillating form in Swansea’s failed bid for promotion. That said, he’s arguably now behind Harvey Elliott in the attacking pecking order. If Divock is sold this might be his year to shine, as it’s really make-or-break time for Brewster.
Ben Woodburn
Though he’s Liverpool’s youngest-ever goalscorer, it just hasn’t worked out for him. Injuries have hindered his development and he’s fallen way behind his fellow youngsters. Probably best for him and the club if he’s loaned out again to build up some value before eventually being sold.
Loan to increase value, then sell.
Loris Karius
The less said, the better.
Sheyi Ojo
Notes: Time to move on.
Nathaniel Phillipps
Had a good loan spell with Stuttgart but Sepp van den Berg is more likely to feature than him.
Loan or sell.
Next. Four losses that define Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool era so far. dark
Harry Wilson
He’s got a tremendous left peg and scored seven goals for Bournemouth this season, though he was unable to prevent their eventual relegation. Unfortunately for him, he’s six years older than Harvey Elliott and there’s no good reason to have him blocking the teenager’s path.
Sell.
