Club confirms that Liverpool could have sensation in their squad by January

Liverpool’s January transfer plans could hinge on Lucca Brughmans, whose deal includes a recall option, according to an update from KRC Genk. The 18-year-old goalkeeper signed for £30 million from Genk on transfer deadline day, with Liverpool viewing him as a long-term solution after he became Genk’s number one. Brughmans would not be the only option under discussion: there had been talk of moving Giorgi Mamardashvili, with Nottingham Forest among those interested, but the Georgian stayed at Anfield. Genk says Liverpool can bring Brughmans to L4 as early as January, though it expects the chance to be slim.
