Liverpool's defensive disaster against Brentford and the defender they want to sign

Just when it looked like Liverpool had momentarily solved all their problems on the pitch after bolstering their attack with the arrival of Dutchman Cody Gakpo, the first 45 minutes against Brentford have left Jurgen Klopp serious about tracking down a new defender who could be an option if the right back fails to perform repeatedly.

While it is true that Liverpool's biggest defensive blunders this season have been made mainly when Joe Gomez has been on the pitch, it was curious and surprising to see the spectacular duality of Konate and Van Dijk distant and errant throughout the first half against a Bees side that did not miss the opportunity to take a 2-0 lead.

Adding to the inconsistencies at full-back with Kostas Tsimikas and Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Reds boss eventually exploded with anger from the dugout, and after this game he will surely consider the possibility of continuing his pursuit of Galatasaray right-back Sacha Boey, a Frenchman of great quality who fits perfectly with the profile Liverpool are looking for today.

Although the defensive block of Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate and Tsimilkas / Robertson seems almost immovable, the integration of a new element on the right side suggests that Klopp is looking to have a great competition in each of the positions, being the international defender with the national team and England the most pressured as both Boey and Arnold play on the right.

As the Galatasaray player has great abilities and is a low-cost player, Liverpool are not the only team interested in acquiring the services of the Frenchman, as the name of Real Madrid is on the table once again, a team that is also following in the footsteps of the 22-year-old, who could be the new understudy to Dani Carvajal, knowing that Álvaro Odriozola could possibly be sold in a very short space of time.
