Liverpool suffered their second Premier League defeat of the season on Sunday as they were beaten 1-0 by reigning champions Arsenal at Anfield.
The Reds have started the season relatively strongly under new boss Andoni Iraola, winning four of their first eight games in the league.
Kai Havertz’ goal was enough to secure the Gunners an important victory on Merseyside, though, leaving Liverpool fifth in the top flight standings.
Iraola will be desperate to see his side return to winning ways when they visit Turkish side Fenerbahce in the Champions League on Wednesday, before a Premier League match against struggling Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Ahead of Wednesday’s match, it has now emerged that the Merseyside outfit have been given the green light to sign a player that previously came very close to joining the Premier League.
As per Football Insider, French side Monaco are prepared to sell midfielder Lamine Camara to Liverpool during the upcoming January transfer window.

Camara, 22, came very close to joining Chelsea over the summer, before Ligue 1 side Monaco pulled out of the proposed deal in the closing minutes of the window.
The Frenchman joined Monaco from fellow French side Metz in 2024 and has since made a total of 84 appearances for his current club across all competitions.
Liverpool are said to have been keeping tabs on the player for some time now, having been linked with a move for the France international during the summer.
Monaco are now said to be prepared to part ways with the central midfielder, who has more than two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract.
Iraola and those in charge of Liverpool’s recruitment are said to be keen to add a midfielder to their ranks, and Camara has emerged as one of their top targets.
