Liverpool manager Arne Slot may reportedly have the opportunity to make two significant signings to further strengthen his Premier League-leading team this January.
The Reds have been exceptional since Slot succeeded Jurgen Klopp in the summer, with the Dutch manager far exceeding expectations given the pre-season outlook.
Few would have anticipated that Liverpool would adjust so effectively to the departure of club icon Klopp, but Slot appears to have elevated the team to new heights.
This success has come despite a quiet summer transfer window, and now it seems Liverpool are ready to support Slot with two major acquisitions for the mid-season.
Liverpool set to invest heavily in Martin Zubimendi and Milos Kerkez?
Despite holding a nine-point lead at the top of the table, Liverpool are clearly not content to rest on their laurels, with reports suggesting they are willing to spend up to £91 million on the signings of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi and Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, the Zubimendi deal is likely to be straightforward for Liverpool, with the Spain international expected to leave his current club and negotiate a better contract at Anfield.
The report notes that Arsenal are also interested in Zubimendi, which could complicate matters, but there is optimism that Liverpool will return for the 25-year-old after previously attempting to sign him in the summer.
As for Kerkez, he could be available for around £40 million following his impressive performances at Bournemouth. The young Hungary international is viewed as a promising long-term replacement for Andrew Robertson at left-back.
Robertson remains a vital player for Slot’s side, but there are growing indications that his age is beginning to show, and he may no longer be in his prime.

Report: Liverpool star set to settle rumors by agreeing to new contract with the club
Several Liverpool players are facing an uncertain future at the club.
Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all in the final year of their contracts, and their long-term futures at Anfield remain unresolved.
These three players have been the backbone of Liverpool’s team for years, and even this season, under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, they have helped propel the Merseyside club to the top of both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Their exceptional form has rattled the confidence of Premier League champions Manchester City.
Salah has been linked to a move to the Saudi Pro League, while Real Madrid holds an interest in Alexander-Arnold.
That leaves Van Dijk, and the good news for Liverpool supporters is that the Dutch defender is reportedly close to agreeing to a new contract at Anfield.
As reported by GiveMeSport, the legendary Liverpool centre-back is willing to extend his current contract with the club and continue to lead them under Slot.
It’s hard to picture a Liverpool team without Van Dijk in it. The seasoned defender has played every minute in both the league and the Champions League this season, earning his place as one of the team’s top performers.
Both the player and the club are eager to extend their partnership, and the contract issue is expected to be resolved soon.
Since his move from Southampton, the Dutch defender has significantly changed the club’s fortunes.
Liverpool cannot afford to lose Virgil Van Dijk
Under former manager Jurgen Klopp, he was a crucial figure and played a key role in their successes in both the league and the Champions League.
Liverpool fans will be thrilled to hear that Van Dijk is staying with the club.
However, they will hope for the same from Salah and Alexander-Arnold, though at this stage, their futures remain uncertain.
The details of Van Dijk’s new contract with the club are yet to be revealed.
