#3. Carney Chukwuemeka

Aston Villa's Carney Chukwuemeka is widely regarded as one of the best talents in England right now. The youngster has been linked with various Premier League clubs in the last year, with the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United reportedly scouting him regularly.

Chukwuemeka has played just a couple of matches this season for Villa, and reports suggest he is looking for a way out. Liverpool have jumped the queue for the 18-year-old as per recent reports.

Gabriel Agbonlahor is not happy with his former side's top talent looking to leave the club and sent him a message:

"My message to him would be, Aston Villa is the best place for you to be. You might have clubs like Man City and Man United looking at you but you've got more chance of breaking through at Aston Villa and get minutes. When you get your chance take it. My advice would be to reject offers from Liverpool and everyone else, stay and sign a new contract with the club."

Chukwuemeka is yet to pen a new deal, and Liverpool could snap him up for cheap in January.

#2. Ronald Araujo

Liverpool have enough centre-backs in the squad right now, but with Nat Phillips confirming he is open to leaving the club in January, the Reds are said to be in the market for a replacement. Jurgen Klopp's side are looking to take advantage of Barcelona's current situation and lure Ronald Araujo, as per reports in the Daily Mail.

Reports claim Liverpool have already begun talks to sign the highly-rated defender, and he will be seen as a long-term replacement for Joel Matip.

#1. Raphinha

Raphinha has been Leeds United's best player this season, but it is clear that the Brazilian is close to ending his time at Elland Road. The winger is looking to take the next step in his career and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing him.

However, Jurgen Klopp's men will have a lot to do to convince him to move to Anfield as reports in Brazil claim Bayern Munich have a deal to sign him. TNT Sports stunned football fans last week when they revealed a €50 million agreement between Leeds and Bayern for the winger.

Other sources have since denied the rumors, and that has given Liverpool a slight chance of luring him in January.
