Liverpool have reportedly added Conor Gallagher to their transfer wish list along with Jude Bellingham and Matheus Nunes.
This comes courtesy of the Daily Mail (via the Daily Express), with a move in January being considered unlikely.
However, the Reds may soon be stripped of their option if Chelsea accept a £40m offer from Everton, as trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano pointed out on Twitter.

It’s true that a midfielder wouldn’t solve all the problems we’re experiencing on the pitch at the moment, although we hope he won’t make the difference between a top-four place and mid-table mediocrity.
