Catch up with all the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors, including updates on a potential loan move for Trent Alexander-Arnold and an update on Alex Scott

Liverpool is continuing to look into the transfer market for potential opportunities to strengthen the squad, as the January transfer window edges closer.

The Reds pushed hard to get a few deals done in the summer, with the likes of Bradley Barcola, Ronald Araujo, and Victor Munoz making their way to Merseyside.

However, there is an acknowledgement that Andoni Iraola is lacking the squad depth in some areas to compete at the top level across all competitions in a full campaign. That could lead to some moves being eyed for the January market, while the following summer window will be equally crucial.

So, with that said, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors ahead of another busy day of action.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid)

Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to be linked with a potential return to Liverpool in the transfer market, after his struggles for Real Madrid since joining the club last summer.

With that in mind, a report from Cadena SER claims that the Reds have inquired about a potential loan move in January, should the possibility come about.

It's unclear what Real Madrid's position on a potential exit is, but as the right-back continues to drop down the pecking order, it seems as though it could happen in the coming weeks and months.

Liverpool.com says: A return for Alexander-Arnold makes some sense, considering the difficulties there have been at right-back ever since his exit.

One of the main concerns has often surrounded the price of a move back, but a loan deal could prove to be the cheapest way possible of facilitating a deal.

Whether that move is desired come January is unclear, though, when Frimpong and Bradley will be back available, while Araujo has certainly made the position his own in recent weeks.

Alex Scott (Bournemouth)

Another player who has been linked with a potential switch to Anfield is Alex Scott, with the Bournemouth midfielder approaching the final 18 months of his contract with the Cherries with no renewal in sight.

While Liverpool is seemingly keen on a move, TeamTalk reports that Chelsea has now made the England international the club's top target for January.

The Blues have been described as the "clear front-runners" to sign the midfield ace, while the Reds and other suitors are believed to be looking elsewhere in the market for potential alternatives.
