According to reports, Kenny Tete, a defender for Fulham, is a target for Liverpool.
The Reds are hoping to sign the defender, who will be available for about £10.5 million, according to a Daily Mail story.
The Fulham defender’s current deal is entering its final year, and he has not signed an extension. The London club will be pushed to make money off of him. They won’t want to lose him to a free agent move the following year.
Tete has performed admirably for Fulham in the Premier League this year, and he might be an asset to Liverpool’s squad.
Right back is a position where the Reds are lacking in depth, so the 27-year-old defender might be a smart addition.
He has lived in West London for three seasons and is accustomed to playing Premier League football. He may have an early impact at Anfield if the trade goes through.
Additionally, the rumored asking price seems pretty fair for a defender with Premier League experience, and the transaction may ultimately turn out to be a steal.
To compete for prizes and return to the Champions League next season, the Reds will require a larger and better team. Their first aim should be to strengthen their defense.
This season, Jurgen Klopp’s team has been fairly flimsy at the back, and they will need to strengthen such areas during the summer transfer window.
In the meanwhile, Klopp has occasionally used Trent Alexander-Arnold in the midfield this year, and Tete’s addition will enable the England international to play there more frequently.
