Liverpool have secured a slender lead at the top of the Premier League table. Aston Villa, Manchester City and others are not giving the Reds any breathing room. January will be a vital transfer window for Jurgen Klopp’s club to secure key pieces that could help them win the title. However, French journalist Julian Laurens reported on BBC Radio 5 that the summer transfer window could be a historic one for the Merseyside outfit, with news that Kylian Mbappé holds a positive view of the Premier League club.
