Liverpool Journalist Tips Reds to Target Centre Backs in Summer Transfer Market

Liverpool journalist James Pearce has tipped the Reds to target centre backs in the transfer market at the end of the season in a bid to avoid a repeat of the ongoing defensive injury crisis next year.

Injuries to Dejan Lovren, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip at various points in the season have seen Jurgen Klopp struggle to name a back four. That problem will continue in the Champions League against Bayern Munich next week with Lovren and Gomez out and Virgil van Dijk suspended.

Fabinho or even Jordan Henderson might be asked to fill in alongside Matip in Munich.
