Liverpool 'would have to pay at least £50m for Brighton defender Ben White' if they turn to him in January in bid to replace injured Virgil van Dijk

Liverpool will reportedly have to fork out at least £50million if they are to sign Brighton defender Ben White in January.

Jurgen Klopp was dealt a huge injury blow earlier this week when it was revealed that Virgil van Dijk would miss the majority of the season after he damaged his anterior cruciate ligament during last weekend's Merseyside derby.

White would be seen as a suitable cover for the talismanic Dutchman but the Reds would have to pay a premium if they are to sign him in the new year, according to The Sun.
