Liverpool have identified Arsenal’s Shkodran Mustafi as a potential target to sort their central defensive crisis, a report from Standard Sport claims.
The Reds are likely to be without regular centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez for the season with serious knee injuries and it appears that Joel Matip could be out for a while with an ankle ligament damage.
This has left manager Jurgen Klopp without a senior central defender in the squad. Fabinho has been a regular choice in the position in recent months, but he is also out for the short-term with a minor muscle issue.
