Which centre-back ought to Liverpool signal this summer time?
Liverpool have already got an excellent central defensive pairing within the type of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, however there might maybe be room for a younger expertise to come back in in that place.
Van Dijk, for one factor, is edging worryingly near turning into a free agent, so it might be that LFC might want to usher in a long-term substitute for him quickly.
Even when the skilled Dutchman stays at Anfield, it might be sensible to have somebody like Colwill or Huijsen prepared to come back into the staff no less than every now and then, earlier than turning into a starter later.
Colwill hasn’t been that convincing for Chelsea this season, however he’s lengthy been thought of a massively promising younger expertise.

Huijsen (who has a £50m launch clause, based on TEAMtalk) might be one other superb choice for Arne Slot’s facet, and it is perhaps extra real looking to go for him than to strive signing a homegrown participant like Colwill from a significant rival.
