Liverpool are considering signing Joachim Andersen this summer
Liverpool The club are reportedly considering signing Crystal Palace star Joachim Andersen this summer, according to Caught offside.
The reds are still the only ones Premier league The club have not made any new signings in this transfer window. However, it has been widely suggested that the Merseyside club want a new defender following the departure of Joel Matip as a free agent last month.
According to the report of Caught offsideLiverpool have identified another Eagles star, Marc Guehi, as a top target with the defender set to leave Selhurst Park to take the next step in his career.
However, the report says Oliver Glasner's side want a fee of around £51.5m and Liverpool believe the price is too high. Newcastle United They are also in the race, so the Merseyside club may find it difficult to secure his signature this summer.
So, Caught offside Liverpool also have Andersen on their wishlist and therefore appear to be considering him as a potential fallback option should they fail to land Guehi.
Andersen to Liverpool
The 28-year-old, valued at around £30 million by Transfer marketHe still has two years left on his current contract, so Glasner's side are expected to demand a big fee to let their star player leave this summer.
Andersen is an experienced player who has been playing in the Premier League for the past few years. He is quick, strong, good in the air, comfortable playing out from the back, efficient in his defensive contributions and also reads the game well.
The Dane could therefore be a smart acquisition for Liverpool should they sign him. However, it will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club ultimately opt to formalise their interest in signing him.
As well as bolstering their defence, Liverpool are also looking to sign a new striker and a new midfielder. Anthony Gordon has been heavily linked with a possible move to Anfield, so he appears to be their main target to bolster their attack.
However, it is still unclear who they are considering signing to reinforce the midfield, as they have not been specifically linked with anyone at the moment.
With the transfer With the transfer window set to close in less than four weeks, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can finally manage to add reinforcements to all of their target positions before the deadline.
