Late Liverpool deal to be CONFIRMED today

Liverpool weren't busy at the transfer deadline but one deal should still get over the line. Expect confirmation this morning.

Liverpool FC Transfer News Today: Door open for mega £50m deal on Deadline Day

Richard Hughes didn't have all that much to do on Monday as Liverpool saw out the transfer deadline. Not that anyone really expected him to.

Liverpool never had particularly strong links to players throughout the month - mainly just reports of vague interest. It's expected that the real transfers will happen in the summer.

And that does make sense. Arne Slot's squad sits at the top of the Premier League and there's no great need for reinforcements.

Especially reinforcements costing a January premium and who could ultimately upset the squad's balance. Maybe we'd have seen a signing or two if there had been a major outgoing but we saw no such thing.

Liverpool rejected an offer from Al-Hilal for Darwin Nunez, as exclusively revealed by Anfield Watch. Federico Chiesa was linked with a loan move away but he ultimately stayed.

It was a quiet one, then, as Liverpool dealt exclusively with loan moves away. And one of those should be confirmed this morning.

Jayden Danns to Sunderland

Jayden Danns should still join Sunderland on loan for the rest of the season. The expectation is that this will be announced on Tuesday, per James Pearce.

Danns' loan move was heavily reported on deadline day and most (including us) assumed it would be confirmed and announced before the window shut. We're all still waiting on it, though.

It's potentially a massive one for the young striker as he looks to establish himself as a senior player. Danns has shone when playing for the first-team but he's yet to get regular senior football.

Sunderland will give him that and in a promotion charge, no less. If he impresses, the future will seem very bright indeed.
