Sources: Liverpool now turn attention to signing full-back in surprise twist
Liverpool have turned their attention to signing a new senior right-back this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
Jurgen Klopp has used longstanding first choice right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in an inverted role over the last two matches that sees him push into midfield.
The Reds boss is believed to be keen to utilise Alexander-Arnold in the midfield more often and feels the side need to add another full-back in order to do that.
As quoted by the Liverpool Echo (10 April), Klopp said that his will need to “get used to” using the 24-year-old in the inverted full-back position more often.
It represents something of a surprise given that Klopp has previously hailed Alexander-Arnold as the “best right-back in Europe” and recently insisted he is a “world class” defender.
The Merseysiders are preparing for a massive overhaul of the midfield ahead of the upcoming window.

Klopp is also set of offload midfielders this summer, with Fabio Carvalho the latest name that could be out the door this summer.
