Jurgen Klopp Has Finally Identified The Full-Back To Solve Problems Next Season

After a decent start to the Premier League season, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have slowly lost the plot this year as they yet to win a league game in 5 attempts since the turn of the year.

The manager bought in a number of players to the squad at the start of the season and though a few have cemented a place in the first team, Klopp has not been able to improve the overall performances of the team from the past.

They are currently 13 points off Chelsea at the top of the table but just a point off of a place in the Champions League and Klopp is now already planning for life after the current season.

The Liverpool manager, who has now recognized the need for additions to the squad, has been linked with a move for a number of star players recently.

And a report from the Star now claims that Liverpool are ready to make a move for FC Porto full-back Ricardo Pereira in the summer.

The 23-year old is currently on loan for the second consecutive year in France, playing for Nice, and has registered a goal and 3 assists in 15 games for the side this season.

He is a decent defender who is capable of playing as a left-back, a right-back or even as a winger and is a versatile player that will suit the Premier League well.

It is now understood that Liverpool had scouts watching over him throughout the season and that Jurgen Klopp is now convinced and is plotting a move to get him to Anfield.

The 23-year old who is now showing some great form, was wanted by the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea in the past but Liverpool are have now firmly established their interest in the player.

In the current Liverpool squad, Nathaniel Clyne and James Milner are the first choice full backs with Alberto Moreno the only cover. Joe Gomez is an option in this position but Klopp wants to add a full-back to his squad to keep it strong for European football next season.

Italian giants Inter Milan are also interested in his signature and will be the biggest rivals for Liverpool in this deal but Jurgen Klopp is confident that he can land the star in the summer.

If he is able to, this deal will solve an age-old problem for Liverpool at the full-back area.

But do you think Ricardo Pereira is the right option for the Reds?
