Liverpool are in dire need of reinforcements at the back. The Reds have had their back line devastated by injuries this term and as a result we’ve lined up with Jordan Henderson at the back. Liverpool are reportedly closing in on signing long term target Ozan Kabak but allegedly have other options available.
Liverpool need centre backs
The Reds have been ravaged by injuries this term.
The club started with three centre backs this term and by mid-November the first choice partnership was ruled out for the season.
Since then Fabinho has been sidelined, as has Joel Matip.
Jordan Henderson recently starred alongside Nat Phillips at the back as a makeshift partnership.
Signing a centre back is essential. A deal for Ben Davies is thought to be close to completion but apparently there are more transfers on the cards.
Liverpool close to signing Ozan Kabak
The Reds have been linked with a number of defenders in recent months.
The club have been researching options extensively and one name has kept coming up.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool are close to sealing a deal for Ozan Kabak.
The report states that the Reds would be bringing him in for a £2m loan fee with an obligation to buy for £25m.
James Pearce has tweeted that the Reds have other options available should they not land Kabak.
What RTK has to say
Liverpool signing Ozan Kabak would end a year long saga.
We’ve been linked with the 20-year-old for what feels like forever.
Thankfully it looks as though it is drawing to a conclusion.
We should have an answer in the coming hours, we’ll be keeping you updated throughout.
