Liverpool’s “priority” signing is a centre-back over Bradley Barcola in the summer transfer window, according to a new claim from former scout Mick Brown. But from what I hear, their top priority is going to be bringing in another centre-back, because it’s a position they want to address before the Premier League season starts.

The manager has assessed his squad, he knows what he wants, and the addition of a top-class centre-back is going to be crucial for them. “I have no doubt they want to strengthen out wide and that’s why Barcola is being spoken about, but they have to prioritise bringing in a centre-back, or they will be at risk.” New centre-back an absolute must for Liverpool?

This is refreshing to hear, with another centre-back absolutely vital for Liverpool in the current transfer window, following Ibrahima Konate’s move to Real Madrid. If Liverpool can sign an experienced centre-back, Barcola and also add depth at right-back and in midfield, they will look primed for a great start to life under Andoni Iraola.
