Arthur Melo is expected to fly to England on Thursday; Jurgen Klopp admitted last week that Liverpool do need midfield reinforcements; The transfer deadline ...

Time is running out for clubs to do business in the transfer window. "Klopp's midfield, and indeed the system itself, is heavily reliant on the press-resistant, pedigreed pass-master Thiago. The player is flying now, he's flying from Turin to Liverpool. The midfield acts as enablers for the full-backs and the forward - a source of steel, stability, cover. "He is an excellent plan - but for his availability, which was no secret when he was signed from Bayern Munich. "Naby Keita is another who is rarely available but contributes rare progressive qualities. He scored four goals in 72 appearances with the La Liga club over two seasons. And to avoid missing out on any of the news wherever you are, look out for live streaming of Sky Sports News on the If we are not convinced, then we will not do it. Some players are just unavailable, that's how it is, but if we can do something, and if we will do something, then we are 100 per cent convinced about it. "The news is that he's flying and the two clubs have agreed the deal for the loan." Arthur Melo is flying to Liverpool as the club close in on a loan move for the Juventus midfielder.

Liverpool are looking to finalise a deadline-day loan deal for Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo, GOAL can confirm.

Arthur is very much a stop-gap signing, but arrives with experience of playing for big clubs in Barcelona and Juventus, as well as with 22 caps for Brazil to his name. The Brazilian international, 26, is set to undergo a medical with the Reds on Thursday as they seek to complete a deal before the transfer window closes. THE VERDICT: It's far from the solution many would have predicted for Liverpool when talking about midfield reinforcements this summer, but it's a body at least, and a player with a fair bit of top-level pedigree.

Arthur Melo solution emerges as Liverpool wait to see how ... (Sporting News AU)

If Jurgen Klopp's bosses at Liverpool still needed any convincing that a midfielder was desperately required with the transfer deadline approaching, ...

It is not a move that even the club's recruitment staff could have foreseen in the early weeks of this summer transfer window. However, quite unlike at Anfield this time, the Magpies were penned in, dominated, and sliced apart so regularly that a 4-0 scoreline would've been more appropriate. But the events of Wednesday evening at Anfield also served to throw up yet more questions over the obvious problem area of Klopp's squad, and it is within this context that a loan deal for Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo is now looking likely to be completed on deadline day.

Liverpool take Arthur Melo on loan from Juventus to solve midfield ... (The Guardian)

Liverpool have addressed their midfield shortage by signing Arthur Melo on a season-long loan from Juventus after Jordan Henderson injured a hamstring.

Liverpool tried to sign Aurélien Tchouaméni from Monaco this summer but the France international was set on a move to Real Madrid, whom he joined in a €100m deal. But the 26-year-old has made only 24 starts in Serie A and found himself on the margins of Massimiliano Allegri’s plans last season. The Brazil international travelled to Merseyside for a medical on deadline day after an approach from Liverpool in the early hours of Thursday.

It is a worrying trend which goes part of the way to explaining why Arsenal decided against moving for him in the January transfer window. Chiefly, though, he is someone who can help his team dominate possession and unpick opposition defences. Only one player, Manuel Locatelli, has averaged more passes in the final third. He has won a total of 22 caps for Brazil and played a key role in his country's Copa America triumph back in 2019. Over the course of his first season at the club, he only started more than three consecutive games on two occasions. Does he have the robustness to play under Klopp?

Liverpool FC Transfer Scouting Report: Arthur Melo (The Liverpool Offside)

With the Reds getting a warm body in the door to stave off their injury crisis, we try and get a sense for what their new man can contribute.

On the other hand, the worst that can happen is he doesn’t do a whole lot and leaves at the end of the season having not impacted the club’s ability to go after their top targets next summer. The Reds could be getting a player desperate to improve his standing in world football and break back into the Seleção as he enters his prime. Or they could be getting a player downtrodden by the cynicism of international football, simply moving from one frustrating situation to the next without the motivation to re-engage and take charge of his career. Once he has achieved control and worked himself a bit of space, the other thing Arthur excels at is moving the ball along. A single loss of possession per game on average is also testament to the former Grêmio man’s press resistance and ball retention ability. The 26-year-old possesses terrific fundamentals and rarely takes a bad touch, even in tight areas, using close control, balance, and vision to ensure the ball does what he wants it to do.
