Liverpool’s defensive crisis means that manager Jurgen Klopp is desperate to secure the services of Borussia Dortmund centre-back Neven Subotic, according to the Daily Star.

The Telegraph believe highly-rated defensive midfielder Granit Xhaka could be on the move to Arsenal this window. The 23-year-old Borussia Mönchengladbach would represent adequate back-up to Francis Coquelin if the Frenchman were to suffer an injury during Arsenal’s title run-in.
