There are various options on the table in the current transfer window. Julian Ryerson is currently said not to be a candidate for Liverpool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This injury puts Arne Slott at a critical juncture. Losing Bradley will be a huge blow to Liverpool as they currently fight to close the gap at the top of the league.<\/p>\n<p>Frimpong is currently the only senior specialist left at Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>While Joe Gomez can cover, the lack of offensive power confuses the slot system.<\/p>\n<p>Plettenberg&#8217;s latest information suggests the club is working around the clock to find a solution that balances immediate impact with long-term value, rather than a stop-gap buy like Ryerson.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liverpools_three_right-backs_could_aim_to_sign_in_January\"><\/span>Liverpool&#8217;s three right-backs could aim to sign in January<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s recruitment team are likely to focus on a profile that matches the slot&#8217;s high-intensity requirements.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zivairo_Reid_Feyenoord\"><\/span>Zivairo Reid (Feyenoord)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most logical link.
