Liverpool could make several changes in the January transfer window, with a few different positions needing some improvement over the coming months.

The summer transfer window has closed, and it leaves Liverpool with time to reflect on the highs and lows of what have been yet another chaotic few months of activity on the market.
The Reds completed four deals in the transfer window, largely reinforcing the backline and the forward line with fresh new faces who will be looking to make an impact. Despite those signings, there appear to be some clear problems for Andoni Iraola, with glaring weaknesses in his team that might need to be addressed in the coming months when the January transfer window rolls around.
So, with that said, here's a look at three signings Liverpool should make in the winter market to help improve the options available even further.

Liverpool's midfield wasn't altered at all during the summer transfer window, despite huge concerns over the amount of space the current options leave in a very aggressive style of play.
That's where a move for AS Monaco's Lamine Camara could come in. The Senegalese international was linked with a move to Chelsea late in the summer window, but it fell through after the French club withdraw its acceptance of the deal, keeping him with the team for the foreseeable future.
That could allow Liverpool to swoop in, following previous links, adding a young midfielder with plenty of potential who can fix some key issues.
Malo Gusto (Chelsea)

Right-back is another area that has caused concerns for Liverpool fans, with neither Conor Bradley nor Jeremie Frimpong claiming the position as theirs for the future.
With injury issues and form concerns impacting both players, availability could be just as important as ability. A late move for Malo Gusto failed this summer, but it would be no surprise to see the Reds push for him once again.
Considering Reece James and Marco Palestra are likely to get plenty of game time, the French right-back could be available and brings with him some Premier League experience, a decent fitness record, and a blend of attacking qualities and some defensive ability.
Whether Chelsea lowers its huge demands for him, however, is another question altogether.
Yankuba Minteh (Brighton)

Liverpool's long-term chase for a right-winger didn't end exactly how the club would have wanted, as the natural Mohamed Salah successor on that flank wasn't found.
There were rejections along the way for Yan Diomande and Ismaila Sarr, but January should see the Reds go back in for another option who saw offers turned down for his services in Yankuba Minteh.
The Gambian internaitonal should be back to full fitness by January, meaning he could make an immediate impact, and he has shown all of the quality and potential to grow further that many would want from a long-term Salah replacement.
Again, there may be concerns over the pricing and whether it is feasible, but only time will tell.
