A number of Liverpool supporters have reacted negatively to a rumour suggesting that the Reds could look to sign Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele.
Jurgen Klopp ended up not making any attacking reinforcements in the summer transfer window, leaving many frustrated with the club’s lack of business. It means that Liverpool must continue to rely on Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota to deliver consistently, although it’s arguable that only the first two are currently doing that.

Another wide player will be needed at some point, and according to TEAMtalk [via Anfield Edition on Twitter], the Reds are eyeing up a January move for Dembele.
The Frenchman has never reached his potential at Barca, often proving to be an injury-prone figure and scoring just 30 goals in 118 appearances despite his £135.5m transfer fee.
