After a disappointing Premier League season, Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp could be in for a revolutionary summer of transfers.
According to a recent report, the club has deployed scouts to France to observe potential targets. 90min reports that Liverpool scouts saw Kevin Danso, Seko Fofana, and Lois Openda during Lens’ victory over Marseille last weekend.
According to the report, the Reds are joined in their pursuit of Danso by Manchester United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Liverpool seeking to add defensive reinforcements this summer.
Over 34 Ligue One appearances, the 6 foot 3 titan has tallied up a phenomenal haul of 14 clean sheets, all while amassing a pass completion rate of 90% and registering two assists.
From a defensive point of view, the centre-back has managed one interception, 1.1 tackles, 3.5 clearances, and won 5.5 duels won per game.
Not only that, Danso ranks in the top 20% of his positional peers across the top five European leagues for shots on goal, shot-creating actions, pass completion and successful take-ons, proving that he is a huge presence and one of the hottest prospects in Europe.
Will Liverpool Sign Danso?
Without a doubt, significant changes must be made at Anfield if they are to once again compete at the greatest level both domestically and in Europe.
The power brokers at the club are certain to put the highest priority on bolstering crucial areas of the field and giving Jurgen Klopp players who can contribute to the next wave of success at Anfield, and adding Danso may be a great place to start.

Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip are both well into their 30s at this stage. Therefore, it would be advantageous for the club to continue looking for young defenders to replace them.
The Reds did, in fact, sign promising center-back Ibrahima Konate in 2021.
