Liverpool have been in great form of late, at least in their goal-scoring department. However, their backline has not been performing as per expectations and has failed to restrict their opponents from scoring goals against them, taking away the early advantage as well as the momentum that their strikers are building for them.
This has irked speculations of some new entries in the defensive department in the newt transfer window for the Reds. The scouts have been keeping their eyes open to find new talents from all over the country and are currently zeroing on the brilliant defender Ezri Konsa, currently plying his trade for the League One club Charlton Athletic.
The 19-year-old has been one of the best players for his side in a defensive position, keeping the rival players at bay from scoring goals against them. He has also starred for his national team and was a part of the England side that won the Under 20 World Cup earlier this year.
Known for his rock solid presence at the heart of the defence for his side, the player is touted to be one of the future biggies for his country and club. An array of clubs are already keeping their tabs on him for the future and are willing to bag the player in the winter transfer window.
The Reds have been eyeing a viable player who can put an end to their defensive woes and might have found what they need in the form of the young defender Konsa. They are willing to table a bid for the player and are eyeing his signature on the agreement given that his present club allows him to part ways with them in the next transfer market.
The 19-year-old can be a real menace when it comes to aerial balls and can vie with his opponents to keep the ball for a significant amount of time. He also can clear the ball with precision and is adept at helping his side keep a clean sheet. He also can go into tackles fearlessly to dispossess his opponents off the ball.
The path to sign the player might not be the smoothest for the Reds with their arch-rivals Everton also looking to bag the player in the transfer window. However, if they can sign him, it will be a big relief for their manager Jurgen Klopp, who is currently finding trouble sorting his side’s defensive abilities.
