Klopp details centre-back plans as Liverpool face having eight players vying for two positions in 2021-22

The Reds have been left short on defensive options at times this season, but that will not be the case when everyone is fit

Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to facing a selection headache at centre-half next season, with Liverpool - who have been ravaged by injuries in that position - potentially having eight options at their disposal in 2020-21.

Further additions in that department are also being mooted, with RB Leipzig star Ibrahima Konate a player said to be in the Reds' sights ahead of the summer transfer window.

There is a purchase option on Ozan Kabak to consider, with the Turkey international looking to stay on at Anfield as part of a group that also includes Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Ben Davies, Nat Phillips, Rhys Williams and Sepp van den Berg.
