Liverpool have no plans to buy a new goalkeeper during the January transfer window.

The Reds have been linked with a move for Roma's Brazilian shot-stopper Alisson with some reports suggesting they had opened negotiations with the Serie A outfit.

However, the ECHO understands that Jurgen Klopp isn't currently looking to invest some of the proceeds from Philippe Coutinho's £142million move to Barcelona on recruiting another keeper.

Klopp is happy to push on with Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius competing for a starting spot between now and May. The manager will then reassess the situation in the summer.

The German coach must decide whether to keep Danny Ward as back-up too or agree to sanction a loan so he can play regularly in the second half of the season.

After the delight of helping Huddersfield Town clinch promotion to the Premier League last term, the Wales international has endured a frustrating campaign. His only appearance to date came in the League Cup defeat at Leicester City back in September.

Klopp has opted to rotate Mignolet and Karius rather than stick with a No 1 across all competitions.
