Xherdan Shaqiri is reportedly set to remain at Liverpool despite suggestions from manager Jurgen Klopp that a transfer was close. Shaqiri joined Liverpool in 2018 after Stoke were relegated


to the Championship and made 42 appearances for the Reds. But despite his talent, the Swiss has been unable to supplant the front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. The


arrivals of Takumi Minnamino and Diogo Jota have meant Shaqiri's chances of players have been further hampered. And last week Klopp left him out of the Carabao Cup tie against Arsenal


and hinted his exclusion was due to a possible transfer. TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY LIVE: MAN UTD TO SIGN TWO, ARSENAL, CHELSEA GOSSIP, EVERY DONE DEAL Klopp said: "It is the time of the


year when some things happen in the background and you have to react - that is what we did." However, according to the Evening Standard, Shaqiri will not be leaving Anfield on transfer


deadline day unless a surprise bid was made. It means Shaqiri faces waiting until January for another chance to leave. PREMIER LEAGUE ON TV: GET NOW TV'S SKY SPORTS SEASON PASS NOW AND

with the other side. "We need to deal with probably our heaviest defeat in a long time. We need to go away for two weeks now away from all the lads and then we've got a Merseyside


derby. Look, the lads will be ready for that. "It's up to us to be as fit and fresh as possible with all the international games, but we'll stick together and make sure this


performance hopefully never happens again." _THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS, WHICH MEANS WE MAY RECEIVE A COMMISSION ON ANY SALES OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES WE WRITE ABOUT. THIS
