Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has advised Jurgen Klopp to dip into the transfer market and sign a centre-back on January 1. The Reds need to replace Virgil van Dijk after the Dutchman ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in the Merseyside derby. Klopp has just over two months to decide whether he's happy to continue with Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Fabinho with several options eyed. Without doubt, Dayot Upamecano is the best option available on the market following his rise to prominence at RB Leipzig. Upamecano caught the eye in last season's Champions League knockout stages in Portugal as his stock sky-rocketed. Schalke defender Ozan Kabak is a player Liverpool have been watching closely ever since he arrived in the Bundesliga. He impressed at Stuttgart before earning a move to Schalke where his stock continues to rise rapidly. Ben White arrived back at Brighton this summer against his will and made no secret of the fact he wanted to make his loan spell with Leeds permanent. Nonetheless, he signed a new long-term contract with the Seagulls, who now hold all the power when it comes to keeping him. Conor Cody could be the answer to Liverpool's problems. He's made a huge impression with the England squad following his first two camps due to his leadership and exemplary attitude. He also scored against Wales and his organisation skills would go a long way at Liverpool.
