Modified Aug 07, 2019 15:43 GMT

Liverpool regained seven points lead at the top of the table as they won against Brighton and Hove Albion at Amex stadium by a goal to nil. It was that man again, Mohamed Salah who put his side in front from twelve yards and at the cessation of 90 minutes, it turned out to be a winning goal.

The January transfer window has opened from 1st January and the Merseyside club is yet again stealing the headlines of the EPL Transfer News. But, their transfer plans look to have the inclination towards outgoings rather than incomings.

Premier League table-toppers have already sold striker Dominic Solanke for the fee of £19 million on a permanent basis while they have sold Nathaniel Clyne, Camil Grabara, Taiwo Awoniyi, Ovie Ejaria on loan basis.

The winter transfer window will slam shut on January 31 and Reds could be in for more transfers in the period.

Here are the five top picks from the Liverpool FC Transfer News which Liverpool could complete in the January transfer window.

#5 Ben Woodburn (Out, loan basis)

After undergoing quite a frustrating loan spell at Sheffield United, Reds' 18-year-old youngster Ben Woodburn has returned to Anfield. But with very less first team opportunities available and taking into consideration Jurgen Klopp's latest loaning policy, the Wales international could be again departing Liverpool in January.

Moreover, various reports state that Liverpool has started considering offers for Ben Woodburn with now Rangers boss and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard eyeing a loan move for the teenager.

#4 Lazar Markovic (Out, permanent basis)

Liverpool signed Lazar Markovic for around £20 million from Benfica back in 2014. But his transfer has turned out be a big frustration for both the club and player and he is already getting considered one of the biggest flops in Liverpool's history.

The Serbian finds himself sidelined from the squad and has not even made a place on the bench in the 2018-19 campaign.

Previous reports stated that Seria A side Florentina are plotting a move for Lazar Markovic whose Liverpool career looks like has come to an end.

#3 Divock Origi (Out, permanent basis)

After coming back from a loan spell at Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, Divock Origi is lacking playing time at Anfield and has made just two appearances in the Premier League so far this season.

Roberto Firmino's establishment as Liverpool's long term no.9 and with Daniel Sturridge's emergence as his first choice backup, Divock Origi finds very thin first team opportunities in 2018/19 campaign.

Moreover, the latest report stated that Liverpool's Premier League rivals are leading the race to acquire the services of the Belgian striker who is in search of playing time.

#2 James Forrest (In, permanent basis)

The 27-year-old Celtic winger James Forrest has caught the eye with a fine series of performances for the Scottish side this season.

James Forrest, who made his first-team debut for Celtic back in 2009, is known for his versatility and has scored 11 goals in all competitions for The Hoops this season.

The recent report emerged that Reds are monitoring the Scottish midfielder to add further depth to their squad and are preparing £8 million bid for him.

#1 Alberto Moreno (Out, permanent basis)

Alberto Moreno could be yet another player who could depart Anfield in January transfer window. Since Andrew Robertson's takeover at Left back position, the Spaniard has found very limited opportunities.

When Alberto Moreno was asked about his current situation, he insisted,

"Moving back to Spain is something I have thought about, I am tired of the cold here but I do not know about interests from other clubs.

"I am in my fifth year here, there is no agreement on renewal and in January, I am free to listen to any offer."

Previous reports stated that a La Liga outfit is monitoring the Spanish full-back.
