Two new players in Liverpool ... and a defender will miss until the end of the season
Liverpool recently strengthened its defense options by contracting with Ben Davis from Preston (second degree), and Turkish Ozan Kabak on loan a few hours before the closure of the winter transfer period for the English Premier League, which was characterized by calm due to the clubs suffering from the Corona virus crisis and the new Brexit rules.
Liverpool, the defending champion, was forced to enter the transfer market due to his great suffering in the defense pole centers following the injury of Dutchman Virgil van Dyck and Joe Gomez, which would keep them away until the end of the season, and they were added by Cameroonian Joel Matip, who ended his season due to an ankle injury in the match against Tottenham last Thursday.

Klopp admitted in a statement on the club's official website: "It is clear that in a normal transfer period, without problems, we will not look at Preston if there is a player who enjoys our interest."
In the last moments, Liverpool announced his contract with Capac on loan until the end of the season, explaining that the 20-year-old Turkish international "will join the team this weekend," and therefore he will not be ready for the match against Brighton on Wednesday and the summit against Manchester City on Sunday.
