Liverpool Set for Busy Deadline Day as Young Trio Eyed for Loan Moves
Liverpool’s January transfer window has focused on outgoings rather than new signings, with the club prioritizing loan deals for fringe and young players. As the transfer deadline approaches, a few more temporary exits could be confirmed before the 11 pm cutoff, ensuring promising talents gain regular game time.
Three Youngsters Linked with Moves
According to journalist Darren Witcoop, Liverpool is planning deadline-day loan moves for:
- Kaide Gordon – Set to join Portsmouth, with the deal almost finalized.
- Jayden Danns – Hull City are confident of securing his signature, ahead of competition from Sunderland.
- James McConnell – Blackburn Rovers have shown interest in the midfielder.
Will All Three Leave?
While Gordon’s loan move was expected after being recalled from Norwich City last month due to lack of game time, the potential exits of Danns and McConnell are more surprising.
- Danns has already demonstrated his goal-scoring ability with three goals for Liverpool’s first team this season.
- McConnell impressed in last week’s Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven, prompting Arne Slot to rule out a mid-season loan.
Given Liverpool’s ongoing battles across four competitions, McConnell seems the most likely to stay for squad depth, while Gordon and Danns appear set for loan moves to gain valuable first-team experience.
With the deadline fast approaching, all eyes are on Anfield to see how many of these young talents will secure moves before the window closes.
Liverpool Youngsters Eye Game-Time as Deadline Day Decisions Loom
While James McConnell might yet remain at Anfield, Kaide Gordon’s loan move to Portsmouth appears inevitable. Respected journalist James Pearce has also confirmed that the young forward is set to join Fratton Park, where he’ll aim to secure the regular minutes he needs to develop.
Meanwhile, if Hull City successfully secure Jayden Danns on loan, the hope is that he can mirror Fabio Carvalho’s impact at the MKM Stadium last season—where the now Brentford attacker netted nine goals in 20 matches.
Regardless of whether all three depart before the deadline, the priority remains clear: ensuring they receive sufficient game time over the coming months to continue their development and make a case for a future role at Liverpool.
