Liverpool’s summer transfer window – How the squad will look next season with arrival of Chelsea star and England international

Central defence

Despite seemingly having an abundance of options at centre-back, the main reason many give for why the Reds didn’t win their first English title since 1990 was that they conceded too many goals.

Rodgers’ attacking style doesn’t help matters at the back, but Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure all need to improve, whilst Daniel Agger is likely to be sold, according to the Mirror.

Youngster Tiago Ilori will probably spend another year away from Merseyside on-loan, whilst Cardiff City’s Steven Caulker (Mirror) or Marcos Rojo of Sporting Lisbon (Daily Express) could be coming in.
