Stefan Borson shares Liverpool January transfer verdict as Jeff Bezos and co. spot 'opportunity'

Stefan Borson says Liverpool must be opportunistic in January but are unlikely to spend big, though new ownership could change that if the club remains in contention.

Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson has given his verdict on Liverpool's January transfer plans following the arrival of new investors led by Jeff Bezos. Borson told Football Insider that while the Reds are "a little bit short" this season, January spending is inherently difficult and the club will need to be opportunistic rather than make major signings.

Liverpool sit fourth in the Premier League, nine points behind Arsenal, and eighth in the Champions League after 10 games. Borson suggested the level of spending may depend on how aggressive the new ownership wants to be, and could increase if the club finds itself in contention by mid-January or performs well in European competition.

Football Insider understands Brighton's Bart Verbruggen is being targeted but that move could wait until summer. Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara remains a talking point at Anfield, with the French club reportedly ready to accept an offer, though he would not come cheap.
