Jurgen Klopp’s Masterplan: Liverpool To Offer Daniel Sturridge For This Brilliant Premier League Defender

Liverpool have been flying so far this season, and currently sit second in the Premier League table.

Jürgen Klopp has managed to orchestrate some of the finest attacking displays the league has seen since its inception in 1992, but one major area of concern for the German must be his fragile defence.

And whilst James Milner has performed admirably at left-back, he is often found wanting in a positional sense, due to his lack of experience at playing in defence.

Klopp must surely be looking to add a top-class left-back to his ranks in either the January transfer window or in the summer, and who better to target that boyhood Liverpool fan and current West Ham left-back Aaron Cresswell.

The 27-year-old moved to the Hammers from Ipswich Town in the summer of 2014, for a fee believed to be in the region of £3.75 million, and has since gone on to establish himself as one of the finest full-backs in the Premier League.

And he would fit perfectly into Liverpool’s starting XI, with his ability to get forward and put in dangerous crosses.

He is one of the fittest players in the league, which enables him to get up and down the flank for the full 90 minutes – something that Klopp expects of his full-backs.

Slaven Bilic will surely fight tooth and nail to keep hold of Cresswell, however, so it will not be easy to prize him away from the Olympic Stadium, especially with his contract not due to expire until the summer of 2021.

The Reds should consider offering Sturridge as part of the deal, and whilst West Ham would still need to replace Cresswell with another defender, their desperation for a striker who is proven at the highest level could mean that they are tempted to do business, with the England international being part of the deal.

If Liverpool were to make a successful move for Cresswell, he could prove to be the signing that turns them into genuine title contenders.
