Liverpool are currently at the top of the Premier League standings and are one of the favourites to win the league title this season. The Reds are among only 3 unbeaten teams in the league so far this season, and they have conceded just 5 goals in their opening 11 Premier League games.
However, there are still some improvements to be done in the Liverpool squad, and Jurgen Klopp could use the January transfer window as an opportunity to further enhance his team.
Right on this note, here is a list of 3 players Liverpool could target in January in order to win the Premier League.
#3 Wilfried Zaha
Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are among the best wingers in the world right now and were dismantling opponents with ease last season. However, their form dropped immensely this year and they are struggling to replicate their stellar performances.
Jurgen Klopp signed Xherdan Shaqiri as a back-up to his wingers during the summer transfer window, but he is mostly used as a playmaker instead of a winger at the moment.
Arguably the best player outside the Premier League's 'big-6', Wilfried Zaha will be a perfect backup option for Liverpool on the wings.
The Ivorian has been winning the Crystal Palace player of the season accolade continuously for the last 3 seasons, and is one of the key reasons for The Eagles' survival in the Premier League. He has scored 25 goals in 138 Premier League games since re-joining Crystal Palace.
The former Manchester United attacker plays his best football from the left, but he is fully capable of operating from the right or behind the striker as well. His electric pace and slick dribbling skills give him the ability to beat defenders with ease, while his finishing and an eye to pick up a killer pass are also added to his valuable attributes.

#2 Timo Werner
Roberto Firmino is among the best strikers in the Premier League, and is pivotal to The Reds' game-play under Jurgen Klopp.
However, he looked tired in the last few games, and is not performing at his best. The Reds need someone else to step up, but unfortunately for Jurgen Klopp, his team lacks strength on the bench, and no other attacker in the team is capable of filling the shoes of the Brazilian in his absence.
Daniel Sturridge is too prone to injuries, whereas, Divock Origi and Dominic Solanke lack the quality to make an impact on the team.
Quick, hard-working, and technically sound, Timo Werner ticks all the major boxes to play under Jurgen Klopp. Indeed the young German is a like for like backup option for Roberto Firmino. His ability to play as a winger will help Liverpool rotate more efficiently, and moreover, he is also capable of feeding the front-line by playing just behind the striker.
The 22-year-old scored 13 Bundesliga goals last season, and was RB Leipzig's top goalscorer in the league. He has started in good form this season as well, and has already netted 4 goals in the opening 9 Bundesliga games.
#1 Hakim Ziyech
Phillipe Coutinho's departure to Barcelona in the January transfer window last season left a huge void in the squad, and The Reds often look clueless with the ball in midfield without the Brazilian star.
The Moroccan international is among the best players in the Eredivisie, and will be a perfect replacement for Phillipe Coutinho at Liverpool.
The Ajax attacker is an accomplished dribbler like Phillipe Coutinho, and is also capable of breaking the opponent's defence with his clever passes. The 25-year-old's eye for goal will relieve the goal scoring burden on Liverpool's front 3.
He scored 9 goals last season, and created a whopping 17 goals for his teammates. Ziyech started strong this season as well, and has already registered 6 goals and 4 assists in 11 league games. The former Twente player has provided the most number of assists in 3 out of the last 4 Eredivisie seasons.
