Jurgen Klopp is seeking defensive reinforcements after an injury crisis at the Premier League club.
LONDON: Liverpool closed in on defensive reinforcements on Monday as the clock ticked down to the end of a quiet Premier League transfer window in which clubs have been hamstrung by the coronavirus crisis and new Brexit rules.
The January window, which closes at 2300 GMT, is typically regarded as a seller’s market and often a time for stopgap measures but Liverpool have been forced to act.
The champions are missing all of their senior central defenders, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip out of action.
First-choice back-up Fabinho recently joined the injured list while captain Jordan Henderson, who usually plays in midfield, has been forced to deputise at the back.
