Liverpool have been urged to sign Leeds United star Raphinha as cover for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will be without his star attackers as the forward duo head to the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
The German will have to turn to the likes of Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino in their absence but Liverpool could look to bring in reinforcements when the window opens of January 1.
Liverpool have been linked with Raphinha in recent weeks and former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson feels a move would make sense not only for January cover but as a long-term investment too.
