His creative numbers are pretty underwhelming, with no Serie A goals or assists last season, however as a midfielder who often played in deeper positions, that’s to be expected. [HAVE YOUR SAY!](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/breaking-liverpool-arthur-loan-transfer-27881578#comments-wrapper) Would Arthur be a successful signing for Liverpool? He’s not got physical attributes in this sense to say rival Fabinho and is after all just 5ft8in. Sometimes he has to handle himself a little bit more, but he put in a great performance against Hellas Verona. He’s been in and out of the Juventus team since joining in the summer of 2020, making only 31 appearances last season, just 16 of which were starts. Last season, only two Juventus players averaged more successful passes on a per 90 basis than Arthur. Arthur, though, does have the potential to change that. "Arthur is improving, he played very well on Sunday," Bianconeri boss declared in February.

It's difficult because for sure there [are] a few who are right, but there are different issues.

[Jurgen Klopp’s](/latest/jurgen-klopp) side are set to bolster their options in the middle of the park by signing the Brazilian on loan before Thursday’s 11.00pm deadline. “Jordan Henderson getting injured in the game yesterday has forced their hand to bring somebody in.

Liverpool look set to sign a midfielder on transfer deadline day, with Juventus' Arthur Melo potentially signing on a season-long loan.

Overall, this Football Manager simulation predicts that Arthur could prove to be a risky panic buy from Liverpool on deadline day, with the Brazilian not suiting Jurgen Klopp's intensive style of play and ultimately dropping out of the side once players returned from injuries. And, a 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace saw Liverpool knocked out of the FA Cup in the fifth round. After their underwhelming start to the season, Liverpool picked up form and ended the Premier League season in second place. The 84 points earned in this simulation was eight points fewer than Liverpool earned in the 2021/22 season, showing the Reds regressed as City got better. To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Arthur to sign for Liverpool in the 2022 summer transfer window, using FM22 to run the simulation. Klopp's side tallied a total of 84 points in the simulation. Two goals from Firmino following Luis Diaz's opener handed Liverpool a 3-1 win over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. In the 2022/23 season, the midfielder made just 15 appearances, failing to register a goal or assist in that time. The Reds are looking to sign the 26-year-old on a season-long loan, but Arthur hasn't played a game for Juventus since May, with the Brazilian having also picked up 15 different injuries since 2019. Arthur ranked the worst in every category apart from rating, with only Keita and James Milner averaging lower. The Brazilian also received a red card in his fourth game. Henderson now joins Thiago, Naby Keita and Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain on the list of injured midfielders, with Curtis Jones just returning from a spell on the sidelines.

Arthur Melo is poised to complete a season-long loan switch to Liverpool before the transfer deadline after Arsenal snubbed the chance to sign him despite ...

Arthur has yet to play for Juventus this season but did rack up 31 appearances in total last season. Neither player proved to be a hit at Anfield though, with Kabak failing to earn a permanent move while Davies joined Rangers this summer having never played a single game for Liverpool's senior side. That said, Klopp has highlighted the importance of having strength in depth to call upon as Liverpool prepare for the hectic schedule ahead. The Brazilian came close to sealing a loan move to the Gunners back in January, before again being linked this summer, but it is Liverpool who have swooped in to land his services. Speaking in February after the winter transfer window had closed, Arteta said: "Edu and his team did a fantastic job and they continue to do that. "We only want the best players and the best people in this club.

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. "Arthur likes to be in perfect condition when he plays, he doesn't like playing with a slight injury. "He is an excellent plan - but for his availability, which was no secret when he was signed from Bayern Munich. The midfield acts as enablers for the full-backs and the forward - a source of steel, stability, cover. "They know for a fact that Arthur won't be played. Can you be flexible enough in your midfield to be able to say 'right now, the team needs me to do this'. "I'm not sure whether Arthur Melo is more of a body they're bringing in right now. They hope that he will take off at Liverpool and then there would be an outcome rather than just a loss of money. The player is flying now, he's flying from Turin to Liverpool. He scored four goals in 72 appearances with the La Liga club over two seasons. He then joined Juventus in June 2020, initially signing a five-year contract.

Liverpool have addressed their midfield shortage by signing Arthur Melo on a season-long loan from Juventus after Jordan Henderson injured a hamstring.

Liverpool tried to sign Aurélien Tchouaméni from Monaco this summer but the France international was set on a move to Real Madrid, whom he joined in a €100m deal. But the 26-year-old has made only 24 starts in Serie A and found himself on the margins of Massimiliano Allegri’s plans last season. The Brazil international travelled to Merseyside for a medical on deadline day after an approach from Liverpool in the early hours of Thursday.

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Brazil midfielder Arthur Melo on a season-long loan from Juventus; the Reds found themselves light in midfield ...

It is a worrying trend which goes part of the way to explaining why Arsenal decided against moving for him in the January transfer window. Chiefly, though, he is someone who can help his team dominate possession and unpick opposition defences. Only one player, Manuel Locatelli, has averaged more passes in the final third. He has won a total of 22 caps for Brazil and played a key role in his country's Copa America triumph back in 2019. Over the course of his first season at the club, he only started more than three consecutive games on two occasions. Does he have the robustness to play under Klopp?

Liverpool have confirmed the arrival of Arthur Melo from Juventus on a season-long loan deal.

The midfielder joined Juventus from Barcelona two years ago as part of a swap deal with Miralem Pjanic but has fallen down the pecking order in Italy. Thiago is currently sidelined with a hamstring issue picked up against Fulham on August 6, while Oxlade-Chamberlain has been absent since the pre-season victory over Crystal Palace in Singapore in mid-July. There is no option to buy included in the deal.

Liverpool are required to submit their Champions League squad with UEFA by 24:00 CET on Friday 2 September.

Such a decision would be a gamble, but it could be one worth taking as, in the unlikely situation that the Reds would be in a situation where they needed to turn to Adrian, UEFA rules could permit them to make a temporary change. Either way, when it comes to filling the Reds’ squad for Champions League action, Klopp will be in close contact with the club’s medical staff as he weighs up a decision. Realistically, Bajcetic, Gordon and Clark will all be left out of Klopp’s Champions League squad as a result, and instead compete in the UEFA Youth League this season. However, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ibrahima Konate all look set to be longer-term absentees, while it remains to be seen how long Jordan Henderson could be sidelined for after limping off with a hamstring injury against the Magpies. However, there is an alternative for the Liverpool boss to consider. The same applies for Bajcetic and Gordon, having only been at Anfield for 18 months, as well as Clark following his own move to Merseyside last summer. Liverpool again don’t possess enough homegrown players to name a full 25-man squad, with them only able to fill three of the four required club-trained spots that make up their eight-man qualifying quota. Already possessing 23 senior players including Arthur, his arrival ensures that a number of players are set to be left out. Players aged 16 may be submitted if they have been registered with the club for the previous two years without interruption.” With the group-stages getting underway next Tuesday, Liverpool open their own European campaign 24 hours later away at Napoli on September 7. Liverpool sealed their fourth and final signing of the summer on deadline day as Arthur Melo arrived at Anfield. As a result, when Liverpool submit their squad for the Champions League group-stages, which they are required to file with the relevant association to be verified, validated and forwarded to UEFA by 24:00 CET on Friday 2 September, the Reds could also provide an injury update of sorts on one of their walking wounded in the process.

Liverpool are closing in on the loan signing of Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo as Jurgen Klopp's side push to strengthen their midfield.

Arthur Melo has been given the number 29 shirt after completing his loan move to Liverpool from Juventus.

“We talked a lot, and our ideas and visions were a good fit so I’m sure it was the right choice. And speaking on his move to [Liverpool](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) shirt.” Arthur made 31 appearances for the Serie A side last season – starting 16 of those games - but has not played for them during the present campaign. [Fabinho](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) wrote on Instagram: ““Welcome back brother.” Arthur’s arrival was confirmed a couple of hours before yesterday's 11pm deadline.

Former Serie A defender Daniele Adani has sarcastically taken aim at Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri following Arthur Melo's move to Liverpool.

He has yet to feature this season and didn't take part in the Italian team's pre-season tour. “So, after saying that Arthur was bad, we must say the same of Klopp…poor football.” Reds boss Klopp was keen to bring in further midfield reinforcements following Jordan Henderson’s injury against Newcastle United on Wednesday.
