Friday was one to forget for Wout Faes after his performance away to Liverpool.
Well, the performance itself wasn’t overly disappointing.
Liverpool did, however, beat Leicester City 2-1 and it was the Belgian defender who scored two own goals for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Both had an element of massive misfortune to them.
But former Liverpool left-back Jose Enrique isn’t overly sympathetic, joking on Twitter that Faes is Klopp’s second January signing after the £37 million Cody Gakpo deal earlier this week.
Of course, it’s probably only a matter of time before the Anfield outfit do make a second signing, after Cody Gakpo.
Who that could be, who knows.
But Liverpool continue to be linked to a number of players, like Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez to name but a few.
However, both of those midfielders are likely to set back Fenway Sports Group an eye-watering nine-figure transfer fee, over £100 million.
And honestly, dropping that sort of money in the January window seems rather unlikely.
Problem is, if Liverpool don’t push the boat out then somebody will next month, because the Reds aren’t the only club keen on signing both players.
It’ll be a fascinating window for the Merseysiders.
