Liverpool are set to announce the signing of Arthur Melo from Juventus after the midfielder signed his contract Anfield just now.
The Brazilian is Jurgen Klopp’s midfielder of choice as the Reds boss sought out a new midfield option for the club thanks to a raft of injuries this term. Melo will finally move to England after being linked with Arsenal for some time.
Di Marzio has reported just now that Melo has indeed now signed his deal with Liverpool and he’ll be joining on loan, giving the Reds the ideal scenario to play with heading into next summer when they’re expected to pursue a deal for Jude Bellingham.

Liverpool boss Klopp will be hoping Melo can bring some stability to midfield in the short-term. The midfielder knows Fabinho well and with Jordan Henderson set to miss out with injury for at least a few weeks, Melo will be expected to slot in and perform.
He could even make his debut this weekend against Everton, provided all the paperwork is complete and registered.
