Tottenham keeping tabs on ‘exceptional’ Liverpool defender ahead of deadline day and Reds may sell

Liverpool have had a massive overhaul of their first-team ranks this summer.

While several players have joined the Reds’ ranks and have improved their team, some have also had to be sacrificed.

Players such as Luis Diaz were expected to leave, but then others, like Tyler Morton, would have been players that Arne Slot would have wanted to keep around, especially given how high their ceiling is.

And, even though there’s now only a couple of days left in the transfer window, there could still be some movement within Anfield.

Tottenham now want to sign Joe Gomez ahead of the transfer deadline

One of the main areas that Liverpool still need to bolster this summer is their back line.

Indeed, both Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong have been brought in, but with the recent form Ibrahima Konate has been in, it’s clear that he needs some regular competition to get back to his best.

Of course, Joe Gomez is still among the Reds’ ranks, but as per a report from Sky Sports, it seems like Tottenham are now interested in acquiring his services.

The report shares that the Englishman is now on Thomas Frank’s ‘list’ with AC Milan also interested in acquiring his services.

Sky do, however, outline that Spurs have cooled their interest in signing a new centre-back, but a move could still occur.

Joe Gomez could be sold permanently by Liverpool

Since there are only a couple of days left in the window, many random links will likely start popping up that haven’t even been mentioned this summer.

Gomez is still an “exceptional” talent, according to Ray Houghton, and, on his day, he could easily give Konate a run for his money.

However, due to Gomez’s injury history and the fact that he can play anywhere across the back four, he may be more useful elsewhere or just unavailable.

However, while the Reds would be reluctant to lose him due to his versatility, The Telegraph have reported that the defender could end up leaving permanently.

Which, while it wouldn’t be ideal, would at least allow Slot to put some of the money they’ve earned from his sale towards another player.
