Liverpool’s excellent unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end on Wednesday, as they lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg tie. But the defeat is unlikely

Liverpool are considering a move for Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, according to reports. Alexander-Arnold has entered the last six months of his Liverpool contract and can talk to clubs outside England about signing on a free transfer.

Having been unable to sign Martin Zubimendi in the summer, the Reds may now go after Kimmich. Any deal is very unlikely to happen in the winter, as Kimmich will want to leave Bayern on good terms.

In a somewhat sensational report, Relevo claims that Madrid are "one step away" from completing the signing of Alexander-Arnold this month. The report says that Liverpool have now opened the door to sell him in January in order to avoid losing him for nothing in six months.
