Premier League champions Liverpool host 20th-placed Wolves on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds’ chances of defending their top flight crown appeared to disappear following a disastrous run of form over the course of November and October, however a run of three wins and two draws from five matches has lifted Arne Slot’s side back up to fifth in the table.
The Merseyside outfit will expect to pick up all three points against a Wolves side that haven’t yet won a single match in the league this term.
In the meantime, though, Liverpool are having to contend with an injury to Alexander Isak, who is expected to miss a couple of months after being forced off against Tottenham Hotspur last time out.
Now, it appears that the Premier League champions are considering a surprise January move to replace the Swede.
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are considering signing a striker on a six-month loan deal in January in order to help mitigate the loss of Isak.
It is claimed that the Reds admire both England international Ivan Toney, and Serbia international Dusan Vlahovic, however the duo are both considered long-term solutions, rather than the type of player to act as a quick fix for Slot during the second-half of the campaign.

Instead, Liverpool could turn their attention to Paris Saint-Germain’s Goncalo Ramos, the report suggests.
The Portugal international has scored 42 goals in 109 games for the French side since joining from Benfica in in 2023 – initially on loan – before making the move permanent the following year.
Despite a respectable scoring record in the French capital, Ramos is still not a guaranteed starter for the Ligue 1 champions and has started just eight of their games in the competition so far this term.
The report also suggests that Liverpool have been considering a move for a more versatile attacker that could operate across the frontline, with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo and Ramos’ PSG teammate, Bradley Barcola, emerging as possible targets.
