Jamie Redknapp has urged Liverpool to sign Joao Palhinha in next January’s transfer window. After collapsing completely last season, many fans wondered if the Merseyside club could bounce back for a Premier League title this time around. As Christmas approaches, Jurgen Klopp’s men sit just one point behind leaders Arsenal, who play at Anfield on Saturday night.
Redknapp said: “I am a passionate fan of Patchino in the middle of the field. “I think he is one of the most underrated players.”That’s what he does. If I were Liverpool now, I would try to bring him into my midfield in January. “He makes a big difference to any team.”The club made a public bid for Moises Caicedo in the summer, but the midfielder opted to move to Chelsea at the last minute. With Vatru Endo brought in as the third option, Romeo Lavia was also taken off the market by the London club.
