January transfer window 2018: 5 footballers Liverpool should have targeted

#1 Kalidou Koulibaly

Koulibaly is a brilliant defender

While Liverpool might have signed Virgil van Dijk, they still have a lot to strengthen in their backline. The Dutchman has the ability to take Liverpool to new heights with his abilities as a footballer. However, defending is a matter of teamwork and Van Dijk alone can’t do anything about it.

As a result, he needs a partner in defence in order for Liverpool to succeed. For that, Kalidou Koulibaly would have been the perfect fit for the Merseyside outfit. The Senegalese is 1.95m tall and is an astute reader of the game.

He is also a great passer of the ball and can set up the tempo from deep. Liverpool fans would have breathed easy with the duo at the heart of the defence.
