Liverpool are looking to finalise a deadline-day loan deal for Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo, GOAL can confirm.

Arthur is very much a stop-gap signing, but arrives with experience of playing for big clubs in Barcelona and Juventus, as well as with 22 caps for Brazil to his name. The Brazilian international, 26, is set to undergo a medical with the Reds on Thursday as they seek to complete a deal before the transfer window closes. THE VERDICT: It's far from the solution many would have predicted for Liverpool when talking about midfield reinforcements this summer, but it's a body at least, and a player with a fair bit of top-level pedigree.

Time is running out for clubs to do business in the transfer window. "Klopp's midfield, and indeed the system itself, is heavily reliant on the press-resistant, pedigreed pass-master Thiago. The player is flying now, he's flying from Turin to Liverpool. The midfield acts as enablers for the full-backs and the forward - a source of steel, stability, cover. "He is an excellent plan - but for his availability, which was no secret when he was signed from Bayern Munich. "Naby Keita is another who is rarely available but contributes rare progressive qualities. He scored four goals in 72 appearances with the La Liga club over two seasons.

"The news is that he's flying and the two clubs have agreed the deal for the loan." Arthur Melo is flying to Liverpool as the club close in on a loan move for the Juventus midfielder.

Deadline day is full of drama, but usually Jurgen Klopp and his staff stay out of it.

I’m really happy and highly motivated to continue living my dream on the pitch and giving my all in a Liverpool shirt.”

Liverpool have addressed their midfield shortage by signing Arthur Melo on a season-long loan from Juventus after Jordan Henderson injured a hamstring.

Liverpool tried to sign Aurélien Tchouaméni from Monaco this summer but the France international was set on a move to Real Madrid, whom he joined in a €100m deal. But the 26-year-old has made only 24 starts in Serie A and found himself on the margins of Massimiliano Allegri’s plans last season. The Brazil international travelled to Merseyside for a medical on deadline day after an approach from Liverpool in the early hours of Thursday.

The Brazilian completed a surprise deadline day switch to Anfield after Liverpool's injury crisis worsened on Wednesday night against Newcastle.

"I’m really, really happy to be here wearing this great shirt with this famous badge that represents so much in world football, it’s a dream," He told Liverpoolfc.com. I’m really happy and highly motivated to continue living my dream on the pitch and giving my all in a Liverpool shirt.” Arthur, who has a contract until 2025 in Turin, has joined Liverpool until the end of the season.

The suspicion is that Liverpool have taken a low-risk, low-cost move with a bigger picture in mind. Arthur was part of the Barcelona team beaten 4-0 by Liverpool at Anfield in the second-leg of the 2018-19 Champions League semi-final. Juventus say there is an option for Liverpool to make the move permanent for a fee of €37.5million (£32m/$37m).

It is a worrying trend which goes part of the way to explaining why Arsenal decided against moving for him in the January transfer window. Chiefly, though, he is someone who can help his team dominate possession and unpick opposition defences. Only one player, Manuel Locatelli, has averaged more passes in the final third. He has won a total of 22 caps for Brazil and played a key role in his country's Copa America triumph back in 2019. Over the course of his first season at the club, he only started more than three consecutive games on two occasions. Does he have the robustness to play under Klopp?

They hope that he will take off at Liverpool and then there would be an outcome rather than just a loss of money." "I'm really happy and highly motivated to continue living my dream on the pitch and giving my all in a Liverpool shirt." "I'm not sure whether Arthur Melo is more of a body they're bringing in right now.

With the Reds getting a warm body in the door to stave off their injury crisis, we try and get a sense for what their new man can contribute.

On the other hand, the worst that can happen is he doesn’t do a whole lot and leaves at the end of the season having not impacted the club’s ability to go after their top targets next summer. The Reds could be getting a player desperate to improve his standing in world football and break back into the Seleção as he enters his prime. Or they could be getting a player downtrodden by the cynicism of international football, simply moving from one frustrating situation to the next without the motivation to re-engage and take charge of his career. Once he has achieved control and worked himself a bit of space, the other thing Arthur excels at is moving the ball along. A single loss of possession per game on average is also testament to the former Grêmio man’s press resistance and ball retention ability. The 26-year-old possesses terrific fundamentals and rarely takes a bad touch, even in tight areas, using close control, balance, and vision to ensure the ball does what he wants it to do.
