The transfer mill is churning once again, with Liverpool believed to be lining up a move for Jan Paul van Hecke, the defender from Brighton. Sources close to the club suggest they are exploring options to reinforce their squad ahead of the run-in. Newcastle and Tottenham have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. Liverpool's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.17 goals per game (7 in 6). Jan Paul van Hecke would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Brighton continue to be linked with Joe Gomez while Liverpool are also rumoured to be tracking Morgan Rogers, Federico Gatti and Yoane Wissa. More on this story as it develops.
