Ben Jacobs Names The FOUR Centre Back Targets That Liverpool Are Eyeing Up

Liverpool have added four centre-backs to their list of summer transfer targets, according to CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs.

Writing in a column for CaughtOffside.com, the journalist claims that RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Evan Ndicka, Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic and Wolves’ Max Kilman have all been looked at.

Gvardiol is not a new name but the likelihood of the Croatian moving to Anfield is still seen as pretty low. His price tag is sky high, with reports suggesting that Leipzig want close to £100m, while competition for his signature is expected to be fierce. Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid have all been mentioned as potential suitors.

Ndicka has been linked with Arsenal and West Ham in the past but the Frenchman will be available on a free transfer this summer when his contract expires.

Milenkovic could also be available relatively cheaply but securing Kilman would likely cost a lot more due to the fact he is English and that Tottenham are also pursuing his services.
