Despite an enormous summer transfer window, Liverpool have major problems, notably in their play. In order to balance the team, the Reds are thinking about recruiting the player who is presented as the new Jordan Henderson.
Defeated at home by Manchester United (1-2), Liverpool chained on Sunday a fourth consecutive defeat. This is the first time since November 2014 that the English club have experienced such a run. This shows the crisis that is beginning to set in at the Reds, after a perfect start to the season in terms of points. But in play, Arne Slot's approach is far from winning unanimous approval, to such an extent that Arsenal are now favourites for the Premier League title.
If the Dutch tactician's choices can be criticised, the recruits are having great difficulty standing out. To correct this lack of balance, Liverpool are considering recruiting a player with a profile more focused on the collective. According to information from Rousing The Kop, the Reds are considering making an offensive for Elliot Anderson, a player who possesses high standing on the transfer market.
Elliott Anderson could be the Jordan Henderson replacement they are longing for.

Liverpool compete with Manchester United for new Jordan Henderson
The Nottingham Forest stalwart is coming off a very good season with the historic English club. The 22-year-old midfielder has a complete profile. He does not hesitate to put himself at the service of the collective but also shines thanks to his technical qualities but also with an important volume of play. Characteristics that can recall those of Jordan Henderson, former Liverpool great.
If Liverpool won the Premier League last season, the English captain's departure left a large void in midfield. A gap that the directors would like to fill by recruiting Elliot Anderson, who has also been tracked by Manchester United, Newcastle or Tottenham since this summer. To recruit the new England international (1 cap), it will be necessary to pay out nearly £70m.
