Liverpool backed to complete deal before Championship transfer deadline

Liverpool have been back to sign Jack Butland from Stoke City

backs Liverpool to sign Jack Butland from Stoke City.

The Reds endured a frustrating defeat on Sunday  night after watching Adrian gifted Villa an opening goal which later led to a goal-laden show. The game went on to end in an incredible 7 - 2 scoreline.

Liverpool first choice goalkeeper Alisson was sidelined for the match as he was examined to miss six weeks of action after sustaining a shoulder injury in training.

It means the champions will now need to resolve goalkeeping issues with Adrian performance still over the line.

Liverpool were linked with a move for Tottenham's third-choice goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga on Monday following their embarrassing defeat.


But they wouldn't want to wait now  until January after the Premier League transfer window was shut in the closing hours of Monday.

And former England shotstopper Paul Robinson thinks he has an alternative, urging the Reds to sign Stoke City ace Butland.

“If Alisson is going to be out for that length of time Liverpool are going to have to look at it," Robinson told Football Insider.

“While the domestic window is still open we may see Liverpool do some business. There is a lot of good goalkeepers that are not playing football right now.

"I can see Liverpool signing the likes of Jack Butland on a short-term deal. They need somebody like that.

"A player that has the experience of handling big games. Somebody of that ilk."
