Liverpool set for close look at £40m transfer option who ticks many FSG boxes
After successfully completing their midfield rebuild during the summer transfer window, Liverpool's next priority position is staring them in the face.
With Virgil van Dijk serving the final game of his two-match ban and Ibrahima Konate not certain to start after recent return from injury, the Reds could begin a second league fixture in succession without their two first-choice centre-backs. Therefore Joel Matip and Joe Gomez, two players who have consistently struggled to remain fit, could again be called on as a result.
Both players performed to a high standard during the Reds' victory versus Aston Villa prior to the international break, though Jurgen Klopp will not wish to find himself in a position of relying on individuals whose injury issues have made them unreliable options in times of need.
This problem of course reared its head during the 2020/21 season, whereby Liverpool were reduced to the bare bones in their backline and forced to depend on the unlikely partnership of Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips as the team battled for Champions League qualification.
