Time is running out for clubs to do business in the transfer window. "Klopp's midfield, and indeed the system itself, is heavily reliant on the press-resistant, pedigreed pass-master Thiago. The player is flying now, he's flying from Turin to Liverpool. The midfield acts as enablers for the full-backs and the forward - a source of steel, stability, cover. "He is an excellent plan - but for his availability, which was no secret when he was signed from Bayern Munich. "Naby Keita is another who is rarely available but contributes rare progressive qualities. He scored four goals in 72 appearances with the La Liga club over two seasons. And to avoid missing out on any of the news wherever you are, look out for live streaming of Sky Sports News on the If we are not convinced, then we will not do it. Some players are just unavailable, that's how it is, but if we can do something, and if we will do something, then we are 100 per cent convinced about it. "The news is that he's flying and the two clubs have agreed the deal for the loan." Arthur Melo is flying to Liverpool as the club close in on a loan move for the Juventus midfielder.

Watch: Arthur Melo On His Way To Liverpool From Juventus (Sports Illustrated)

Liverpool bound Arthur Melo has been seen setting off from Turin as he looks set to complete his loan move to Anfield on transfer deadline day.

[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/5XstioL80j5xvix2FgayOv?si=c6005a65bcb245e7) [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdlFklV55ZttMuLE6hf3FdA) The Brazilian has been spotted leaving Juventus in a taxi ahead of his flight to England. The injured and out of form midfield options has made the manager think twice. A player that can progress from midfield and yet cover for holes, which is an ideal option. Deadline day is full of drama, but usually Jurgen Klopp and his staff stay out of it.

Liverpool look to complete loan signing of Arthur Melo from Juventus ... (Goal.com)

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.
