Liverpool were rather quiet during the most recent transfer window.

In fact, scrap that - there was almost silence from the Anfield outfit. 17-year-old Sepp van den Berg was the only player to come in for a fee, whilst Adrian was the other arrival - on a free transfer.

Still, that hasn't seem to halt their progress so far this season. They currently top the Premier League table by eight points, and have won 14 of their first 15 games in that competition. That has contributed to them breaking the record of the longest unbeaten league run in the club's history, as well.

However, for Liverpool to progress, new signings will be needed at some point. And now, David Maddock has told LFC4Ar that Nike will want a big-money signing to coincide with their new deal with the Reds. However, he had added that that player won't be Kylian Mbappe.

This has got the Liverpool fans talking, and they are sure that it can only mean one thing.

The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with the Merseyside club, of course, and he has already scored five goals and provided seven assists in the Bundesliga this term. His arrival would be a real statement of intent.

There is a strong consensus of supporters, though, who do not like the idea of a company demanding that a big name be brought in.

Whilst you can understand the sentiment, football is now a business, and big stars bring in the big bucks. A world-renowned player is likely what the US-based firm would want if they sign a deal with Liverpool.

This news has got one or two fans carried away as to who could come in.

Considering Messi has spent his entire career with Barcelona, it seems unlikely he will be leaving to move to the Premier League at 32 years old. But hey, there's nothing wrong with dreaming, right?

By the looks, the January transfer window could be an interesting one for Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Tony Cascarino has glowing praise for one Liverpool man's Everton performance.
