As Anfield Watch reported a few weeks ago, Liverpool are serious in their pursuit of Brighton attacker Joao Pedro.
The feeling in the club seems to be that this season has fallen in such a way that an all-time successful year is on the cards - Premier League, Champions League and beyond.

Because of this, the club would ideally like to strengthen the squad in January to ensure that no stone was left unturned in their pursuit for immediate success with Arne Slot.
And according to Football Insider, the Pedro transfer might be the most viable of all the rumours.
Speaking on the Football Insider Inside Track podcast, Pete O’Rourke revealed that Pedro is interested in a move away from Brighton if it is to one of the Premier League’s top sides.
And you don’t get more top than, well, literally top.
Joao Pedro wants Liverpool transfer
Knowing that the move would fit the desires of the player himself is half the work done to get him to Anfield. The rest relies on the technicalities.
The report does state that Brighton are expected to demand at least £60m for Pedro’s signature - which would represent a doubling of the money they invested in the player last summer.
The side aren’t keen to let their star striker go in January; which team wants to part with a key player midseason really? But Brighton are always a side willing to do business if there is enough in it for them.
