Klopp tells Liverpool board on defensive signing
January 29, 2021
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has again stated he needs a centre-half signing after victory over Tottenham.
Joel Matip damaged his ankle ligaments during the first half of the 3-1 Premier League win at Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening.
Liverpool were already without Fabinho, who had missed the game with a minor muscle issue.
With Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez long-term injury victims, Liverpool ended the game with Jordan Henderson and Nat Phillips as the centre-back pairing, and 19-year-old Rhys Williams as the only other option.
“You can imagine we think about everything, of course,” said the Reds boss.
“We thought the whole time, we are thinking the whole time. It’s about doing the right thing.
“I’m not picky or whatever, but we need to find the right player.
“We have players still, but not a lot in the defensive line to be honest – it’s really incredible what is happening there.”
