There is less than a week remaining of the January transfer window as clubs start to scramble for any last-minute deals that could potentially make the difference in the second half of the season. Liverpool go into February in a strong position in both the Premier League and Champions League.

A 4-1 home win over newly-promoted Ipswich Town on Saturday maintained the Reds’ six-point gap at the top of the table, despite wins for both Arsenal and Man City. Arne Slot’s men also have a game in hand over their rivals.

Attention now turns back to the Champions League. Liverpool take on PSV Eindhoven away on Wednesday night, having already secured their place in the knockout stages of the tournament. As we wait for the game, here is a look at some of the stories doing the rounds over the last 24 hours.

Jorrel Hato explanation

Ajax defender Jorrel Hato was spotted at Anfield for the Premier League clash against Ipswich Town on Saturday, but his visit was not transfer related. It has, however, been explained by Dutch outlet De Telegraaf that he was simply visiting his friend Ryan Gravenberch, having been invited by the Liverpool man.

It is claimed that the Reds are one of two teams, alongside Real Madrid, who are following Hato’s progress closely. It doesn’t, however, seem that a move in the January transfer window is on the cards with Ajax, according to the report, determined to keep the defender, who is under contract until 2028.

Liverpool transfer 'close'

Stefan Bajcetic is currently on loan with Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg, having joined the club on a temporary deal that saw him reunited with former Reds assistant manager Pep Lijnders in the summer.

The head coach has since lost his job with the club, and it now seems that Bajcetic could move on too. According to Atlantico Hoy, Liverpool are looking for another destination for the midfielder in January, with La Liga side Las Palmas 'in the process of closing the loan'. The team are fighting against relegation from La Liga and sees Bajcetic as an option who could help them.

Celta Vigo are also linked with an interest. The report adds that Las Palmas are ‘one of the main candidates’ in the race.
