Liverpool have been linked with a move for Chelsea defender Malo Gusto in the recent past, and it looks as though they have been boosted in their pursuit. That doesn’t mean an out-and-out right-back shouldn’t be looked at moving forward, however, and Gusto has been mentioned as a potential option for Liverpool.

Could Malo Gusto ease Liverpool’s right-back woes? As mentioned, Araujo is doing an admirable job at right-back, but Liverpool need a natural in the role moving forward, given the attacking quality that Andoni Iraola wants from his full-backs.

When he is in his more orthodox position at right back he’s willing to get forward with the ball, travel with the ball and get into dangerous areas. He does that every time Chelsea play.” Gusto is still only 23, so he would be arriving at Liverpool at a good point in his career, and 18 assists in 140 Chelsea appearances highlights the quality he can provide from right-back.
