5 players Liverpool could sign to help catch Manchester City

#4 Diego Llorente (Real Sociedad)

Llorente has spent two years at Real Sociedad since leaving Real Madrid

One area Liverpool may also want to strengthen is at centre back. They obviously have Virgil van Dijk, one of the best defenders in the world, and Joe Gomez, as their first choice defensive pairing, but Jurgen Klopp may be looking for more depth in the position. Gomez has struggled with injuries during his time at Anfield, while it has also been reported that there has been interest in Dejan Lovren from AC Milan.

In this case, Klopp may not be willing to go into the season with just van Dijk, Joel Matip, and an injury-prone Gomez as his only available centre backs, and may enter the market to bring another one to the club. That man may be Real Sociedad’s Diego Llorente, who has had two good seasons with the club, earning him a debut for the Spanish national side. He is a reliable defender, and also has the ability to play the ball from the back, something that certainly suits the way Liverpool play.
