Reports have suggested that Klopp isn’t convinced by the player and that Liverpool could terminate the loan deal in January.

Reports have suggested the player has been putting in extra work by training alone during his days off.

Liverpool knew Arthur would be behind due to being one month behind Klopp’s squad in terms of pre-season preparations, notes the Athletic.
