Five defenders to boost Liverpool in January’s transfer window

Currently plying his trade for Marseille, the Cameroon commander has pace to burn and is tactically astute. Would be seen as an upgrade to Mamadou Sakho, who has demonstrated why PSG were right to let him go in recent seasons, after failing to strike up a relationship with his defensive partner when playing.

Aymeric Laporte

One of the highest rated young defenders in the game, the 21-year-old centre back has become a key member of the Athletic Bilbao squad. Linked with Manchester United in the past, he may feel now is the right time to move elsewhere and the switch could be right for all parties involved. However, he wouldn’t come cheap.

Inigo Martinez

Has similar stock to Laporte, the Real Sociedad centre back, the 24-year-old is tipped to be an important figure, in time for the Spain national team. He may relish the chance to continue his football education under Klopp at Liverpool and, technically gifted he is the German boss’s type of player.

Mateo Musacchio

Villarreal’s Argentine centre back has just returned from injury though has always been rated highly. At 25 he is yet to reach his peak and may see the Reds as an ideal opportunity to force his way into being a regular starter for Argentina.
