6 teams who can't wait for the January transfer window

January has traditionally been the perfect stop-over for teams to refuel, recharge and rediscover their groove coming into the second half of the season. Before the season began different expectations were lain at the feet of one club or another, but as we all know things do not always go according to plan even for the very best of the best.Between one thing or another, it is not always feasible for even the most prestigious of teams to fulfill their objectives. Whether it’s through tactical failings, too many injuries or just plain misfortune, some teams come undone along the way. Fortunately, however, the New Year can come to the rescue to avoid the free-fall or bad times from persisting.By making the right transfers, keeping hold of the best players until the end of the season and taking the time to look at and learn from the mistakes of the few preceding months, improvements can be made and new beginnings can be kick-started.So, join us in casting our eye over a few clubs who need the window to open up sooner than most, and why.

#6 Liverpool

Klopp is certain to get the backing of the owners to pursue players in the transfer window

Jurgen Klopp’s arrival as the manager at Anfield signalled the return of the good times for Liverpool. Despite their recent 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United, it looks as though the good vibes have returned to the Merseyside club, and the fans will feel confident some new silverware will adorn their cabinet soon.

The Reds have been getting the necessary results in the Premier League and are now considered as title contenders by many fans and commentators of the beautiful game.

That said, the season is a long and arduous one at the best of times, so they are going to need plenty of reinforcements to back their claim. Klopp has been doing the best he possibly could with the resources he adopted from Brendan Rodgers' reign, but the re-opening of the transfer market will allow him the chance to put a more Klopp-like look to proceedings.

Drafting in a proven goal-scorer should certainly be a top priority. Their top Premier League scorer this season is Philippe Coutinho who has bagged five goals. However, he is not a striker and as good as it is to have goal-scoring midfielders, every serious challenger at the top of any league needs to have a recognised forward who can lead the line and, most importantly, rattle the back of the net.

Whoever they decide to bring on board, they need to be a no.9 or at least a natural finisher comfortable with taking on defenders as the main line of attack.
