Liverpool’s target ‘shock defender from Liverpool who would solve an invisible problem that could derail Arne Slot’s plans

Liverpool was linked to a new surprising central defense target while Arne Slot seeks to strengthen its rear line.

The Reds were linked to a series of central files throughout the summer, including Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace and Aston Villa Ezri Konsa.

Indeed, their current favorite pairing is made up of a 34 -year -old virgil van Dijk, and Ibrahima Konate, who enters the last year of his contract and linked to a move to Real Madrid.

And according to GivemesportA targeted player as a potential lining, or even as a possible replacement of the pair is England U21 International and the central defender of Toulouse Charlie Cresswell.



The 22 -year -old would have been spotted by Liverpool several times last quarter, and although the Reds have not yet taken a step for the defender, he would be very good on their radar.

Cresswell joined Toulouse de Leeds a year ago and impressed in his first season in Ligue 1.

After traveling the ranks of Leeds, Cresswell would count as a local player and would therefore be transparent to register.

Indeed, Liverpool completed the 17 non -homogeneous places authorized by their team, on the signatures of Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz.

Premier League teams are only authorized 17 players who are not counted as under 21.

The same rule applies to the Champions League, except that those under 21 must also be located so as not to be exempt from 17.

Non -homely players (18): Alisson, Mamardashvili, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Tsimikas, Mac Allnister, Gravenberch, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Endo, Salah, Diaz, Jota, Nunez, Chiesa, Gakpo

Local players: (12) Mrozek, Davies, Gomez, Frimpong, Quansah, Bradley, Phillips, Beck, Stephenson, Williams, Jones, Elliott, Morton

Notable U21: Fish, Nyoni, Moses, Danns, Coats, Doak, Bajcetics, Chambers, Gordon
