Liverpool are on the race for a potential partner for Virgil van Dijk after their defensive injury woes. They have identified Lille star Sven Botman as a target. The Reds have been tipped to dip into the January transfer market to buy a new centre-back. Injuries to Van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez have highlighted their lack of depth at the back, with reports suggesting they want to strengthen. They are reportedly set to take advantage of Lille’s dire financial situation and sign a deal with Botman. The Ligue 1 side are struggling financially and are apparently ready to let go of some of their key players. And Liverpool could be set to take advantage, with Foot Mercato claiming they’ve already been in contact with Botman’s representatives.
