Local media recommended winter window signings for Liverpool: Gaulat, Ben Alpha, Paulinho

Live bar December 6, Liverpool's local media "Liverpool.com" posted a recommendation for Liverpool to introduce reinforcements in the winter window to deal with the loss of Liverpool during the African Cup of Nations, including Gaulat, Ben Alpha and Paulinho.

<b>Gaulat</b>

It's the most obscure name on the roster, but probably the player who appeals to Liverpool the most. The 30-year-old Brazilian striker, who has become a Chinese citizen, scored 25 goals in 59 games for Cruzeiro, joined Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League in 2015 and scored 71 goals in 104 league appearances. He was also called up for the Brazilian national team.

For a time, Gaulat was coached by Cannavaro in Guangzhou. The Ballon d'Or winner gave the striker a strong recognition: "Gaulat is undoubtedly a great player, both as an individual and a team player, he has helped us tremendously. During the Africa Cup of Nations, Takushi Minamino, Origi, Firmino and Jota will work together to fill the vacancy for Salah and Mane's departures, but Gaulat may be able to complement the team as an urgent substitute. At the age of 30, Liverpool may even think he has some resale value and may move Gaulat back to Brazil.

<b>Ben Alpha</b>

Ben Alpha is a household name and he is less likely to join Liverpool. The Frenchman's last appearance was in Bordeaux in Ligue 1, where he started 24 times last season and he is not quite obsolete. During his time at Newcastle, he was best known to Premier League fans and used his skills to win the support of neutral fans. He won't play much, won't be a long-term option, and probably won't even play.

But can you honestly say not to imagine a scenario where Klopp looks at him in desperation and then he creates a magical moment that determines the season. The fight for the title requires heroes in an uncertain state, and the 34-year-old Ben Alpha certainly meets that requirement, and with Liverpool's forward line set to be severely strained during the Africa Cup of Nations, he could offer a completely uncertain option and could also be eclipsed by Liverpool's folklore.

<b>Paulinho</b>

If Fenway wants an urgent free agent transfer, the most likely scenario is to sign an attacking player. Salah and Mane are the squad's regular main players, they contributed a large part of Liverpool's goals and they will also be the biggest losses for the team during the Africa Cup of Nations. However, Keita will also be leaving the team at that time, and if there are more injuries this month, then there is a reason to take some radical transfer action. Paulinho is another name familiar to Premier League fans and he was relatively successful when he played for Tottenham.

Curiously, he was Gaulat's teammate at Guangzhou Evergrande. He had a strange journey at Barca and unexpectedly became the centrepiece of the team's 2017/18 title win before returning to China. After that, he went to Jeddah National, where he made only four appearances due to some emergencies. Everyone is speculating about whether these situations will improve, but if Paulinho can play, then Liverpool will think the deal is a good deal. The Brazilian has league experience and in recent times he has had an excellent scoring record in midfield and is capable of playing in possession or forward positions.

Either of them could make a valuable contribution to Liverpool's title journey in the end.
