The midfield revamp during the summer transfer window has worked wonders for the Reds. The club finds themselves in the 1st place in the PL points table.
Moreover, the Merseysiders have also been brilliant with their performances in UEL. They have already qualified for the next round of the competition as they top their group.

Liverpool working to secure Khephren Thuram deal
Earlier reports suggested Liverpool have again reignited their interest in the French midfielder. The latest report from Calcio Mercato Web has confirmed that the English giants are ready to pay the transfer fee of £45m to secure the deal.

Klopp could use a great signing like Khephren Thuram going into the second half of the season.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
