Liverpool to sign Juventus midfielder Arthur on loan

 

 

Before the transfer window shuts, Liverpool is trying to loan out Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo.

 

Even though there is still work to be done to complete the deal, signing the 26-year-old international from Brazil would help the team’s injury issues in the midfield.

While not playing for Juventus this season, Arthur had 31 appearances for them previous year.

 

In 2020, he moved from Barcelona to the Italian team.

 

On Thursday, September 1st, at 23:00 BST, the transfer window shuts.

 

Jordan Henderson, a midfielder for Liverpool, was forced to leave the game against Newcastle United on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

The 32-year-old will “definitely not be available,” according to Reds manager Jurgen Klopp, for the Merseyside derby against Everton on Saturday.

Injured Liverpool midfielders Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are now joined by Henderson.
