Liverpool are set to add to their midfield ranks with the loan signing of Juventus midfielder Arthur on transfer deadline day.
Speaking after Wednesday’s victory over Newcastle, Jurgen Klopp didn’t completely close the door on a new signing, but suggested it was probably unlikely.
However, the club look set to address their midfield problem with the loan addition of Juventus midfielder Arthur.
Sky Italy‘s Gianluca Di Marzio is reporting the Brazilian is set to undergo a medical later today, while GOAL‘s Neil Jones has confirmed Liverpool’s interest.

After first choice midfield target Aurelien Tchouameni opted to join Real Madrid early in the window, Jurgen Klopp appeared happy to stick with the current midfield options at his disposal.
However, an extensive injury list, as well as an underwhelming start to the Premier League campaign, led to second thoughts, with the Liverpool boss admitting the club were looking to add to their midfield ranks in the final days of the window.
It now appears the club have decided to address the problem with the loan signing of Arthur, who is yet to play for Juventus this season.
