The latest of Liverpool’s right-back targets though comes in the shape of Feyenoord’s Givairo Read.

Liverpool are said to be targeting Read, with a potential summer swoop for the young Dutchman on the cards.

With that being said, the defender is relatively unknown outside of his native Netherlands – so Rousing The Kop thought it would be worthwhile taking a closer look at the possible Alexander-Arnold replacement.

Givairo Read is currently 18 years old at the time of writing.

He spent most of his childhood growing up in the capital city of Amsterdam, later moving to Volendam to join their academy in 2017.

The 18-year-old has featured for the Netherlands youth setup on a number of occasions, playing for both the u17s and u19s.

The Dutchman primarily plays as a right-back but he can also deputise on the other flank as a left-back.

Givairo Read stands at approximately 5ft 8 inches tall (1.75m), he does however still have room to develop physically still being so young.

When asked about his main strength, Read said: “Attacking is one of my greatest qualities, so I always try to bring that to the team.

Despite his attacking background, the Dutchman is also solid defensively – as shown by his impressive performance against AC Milan’s Rafael Leao in the Champions League playoffs.

Still just 18 years old, Read has a lot more room to improve and what better way to learn your craft than to play alongside the likes of Virgil van Dijk?
