Liverpool are hoping to seal a transfer for Juventus midfielder Arthur on loan. The lowdown on the ex-Barcelona man who 'surprised' Lionel Messi with his ...

Yet Arthur never really won Allegri over, and it was known this summer that if the right offer was to arrive, Juve would let him go. The accusation against Arthur has been that he doesn’t play ‘vertical’ football, with everything going from side to side. Sometimes he has to handle himself a little bit more, but he put in a great performance," said Allegri last February after a 2-0 win against Verona. [Barcelona Noticias](https://www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com/en/players/what-said-messi-arthur-now-stirs-up-to-the-barcelonism_258737_102.html), putting a somewhat nicer spin on things. The 26-year-old has struggled for form ever since signing for Juventus in the summer of 2020. The German had held off all summer in regards to signing another midfielder.

The full back fires a speculative shot at goal that strikes a Newcastle body. Elliott, who is a wonderful player by the way, finds Diaz on the left. The Swede then makes his way into the box, dances past Gomes and Van Dijk before firing into the Liverpool net. Liverpool at present need some inspiration from somewhere, but it's not the deepest bench. Salah finds room on the right and cuts a ball back to a revitalised Firmino, who swipes the ball first time into the bottom corner. Pope is there to save well. Tsimikas whips a ball into the box but it is well cleared. He actually tries too hard if that's possible, and ends up falling into the photographers' pit. You may not like it but Newcastle are managing this game very well. Carvalho scores with the last kick of the game! if that's the case it's probably best to take a couple of hours away from football.

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.

Liverpool have had a patchy start to the season following numerous injuries to key midfield players such as; Thiago, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, ...

Arthur Melo is 26 years old, and previously played football in Barcelona from 2018 until 2020, and have since been playing with Italian giants Juventus. It was uncertain as to whether Liverpool would sign a midfielder, with Jurgen Klopp stressing that it "has to be the right one", and the deal must make sense. The Brazilian midfielder is expected to complete his medical in the coming hours after he has landed in Liverpool.

Fabio Carvalho's 98th-minute goal gave Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Newcastle United in Wednesday night's Premier League clash at Anfield.

Elliott’s flicked ball out to the run of Salah along the right channel on the hour mark allowed the Egyptian to pick out Firmino’s arrival into the area and he unerringly swept a finish into the bottom left corner. Having shifted the ball infield from high on the right wing, Sean Longstaff slid a pass into the box for Isak to take on and thump a finish beyond Alisson. Liverpool began to find some joy with forays down their left-hand side as Luis Diaz and then Andy Robertson were worked into space on the byline, though on both occasions Newcastle cut out their attempt to find a teammate in the middle.

Fabio Carvalho sunk Newcastle as Liverpool fought back to record a win which had Jurgen Klopp bouncing at Anfield.

Substitute Fabio Carvalho - just 20 years old - slammed in a stoppage time goal to make it two wins from two for Jurgen Klopp's side. It may only be August, but this felt huge, as much for the mood as anything else. The Kop has a new darling after Eddie Howe and his time-wasting Newcastle side were stunned at Anfield.

Media Digest: Liverpool have been identified as a £20m bidder for one midfielder. Meanwhile, an unnamed Youri Tielemans suitor has submitted a transfer bid ...

The Belgian’s deal expires in 2023, meaning that foreign sides will be able to approach him over a free transfer by the time the next window opens. But if Liverpool ultimately decide to settle for a compromise option, Luiz could be one to watch before the day is done. The biggest opportunities could lie with players whose contracts are running down, thus providing their clubs with an incentive to sell — even so late in the window. [Giannis Chorianopoulos](https://mobile.twitter.com/choria80), who reports that ‘things are happening’ over Luiz, with Liverpool involved. The [Liverpool](https://www.liverpool.com) injury crisis appeared to be slowly abating, but now yet another midfielder has been struck down. If timescales are one key factor affecting Liverpool today, the willingness of sellers is another big one. In this respect, he ticks a major box, with Liverpool somewhat short of options in both areas. There is no news on the timescale yet, but only a miraculous recovery would see Henderson fit in time for the Merseyside Derby.

Sensational Reds Back At It](https://www.si.com/soccer/liverpool/match-coverage/watch-liverpool-9-0-bournemouth-match-highlights-sensational-reds-back-at-it) Mohamed Salah has been off it in the last few games and it was one of those matches last night. He is too quick for defenders, and always wins fouls and free-kicks in decent attacking areas of the pitch. [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdlFklV55ZttMuLE6hf3FdA) Made the right substitutions, but could havePost-Match made them earlier. Kept the Newcastle midfield quiet for the most part which is his main job. Diaz caused problems for the opponents. Every time he got the ball he had one thing in mind, attack. Once England's best centre-back option, he has become a player that is full of mistakes and regularly chooses the wrong option. Just a standard game for the Brazilian keeper with not much to do other than a few timid shots keeping him awake. Joel Matip is coming back at the right time. Defended quite well against Ryan Fraser, who had a point to prove, but was lucky that he didn't have to face Allan Saint-Maximin.

Liverpool are on the verge of completing a medical for Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo, who they chose over his current teammate Denis Zakaria.

Having seen their new record signing Alexander Isak have what looked an excellent second goal ruled out for an indiscernible offside after the busybody curtain-twitchers at Stockley Park had got busy with their rulers and set squares, they were further enraged when Fábio Carvalho smashed home the winner in the eighth minute from the five minutes of added time displayed by the fourth official.

Liverpool have swooped in late in the transfer window to make a deadline day signing of Arthur Melo on loan from Juventus.

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.
