Catch all the latest Liverpool transfer news, including updates on another possible alternative to Alex Scott, and all eyes on a versatile defender option

Liverpool continues to move along well in the Premier League, having picked up a third win of the campaign over the weekend, registering a 2-1 win over Brentford.

While attention turns to the Champions League in midweek, Andoni Iraola's roster will be tested to the extreme as injuries continue to deplete his options .

The next week and beyond will truly test where Liverpool stands under the head coach, providing an opportunity to identify areas for improvement. That could come with internal changes, but external influences may also change things, particularly in the transfer market.

As the Reds continue to assess their options ahead of the January transfer window, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news ahead of a busy day of action.

Felix Nmecha (Borussia Dortmund)

Liverpool continues to be linked with a transfer for Bournemouth star Alex Scott, but alternatives are also being considered amid a huge potential price tag for the England international.

One of them appears to be Borussia Dortmund's Felix Nmecha, as CaughtOffside claims that the Germany international is on the Reds' radar for the coming months.

It's claimed that Liverpool has been tracking the 26-year-old, who is valued at roughly $100 million, making him a cheaper option than Scott.

Nmecha came through the Manchester City ranks, but has since shone in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, where more clubs than just Liverpool have been tracking his progress ahead of a potential move in the future.

Liverpool.com says: Nmecha could prove to be a cheaper alternative who has plenty of experience at the top level, but there are also fewer guarantees.

With a player like Scott, Liverpool knows there is someone who can adapt to Iraola's tactics, and he has already adapted to life in the Premier League, so he can perform at the top level.

On top of that, the price tags aren't too far apart in valuation, while Scott has the edge in terms of his age and potential to grow further.

It remains to be seen whether a deal can be done in January, however, which could force some movements in the winter or the summer transfer window beyond that.

Pierre Kalulu (Juventus)

Defenders continue to be on the radar for Liverpool, as Football Insider is the latest to link Juventus ace Pierre Kalulu with a switch to Merseyside.

It's claimed that the Reds appreciate the defender's "versatility", as he can play at both center-back and right-back, offering cover in two potential problem positions.

Whether Juventus would be willing to sanction an exit, however, remains unclear at this stage.
