Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson‘s Liverpool futures were in the headlines on Tuesday, as was another defender the club are reportedly keeping an eye on.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Liverpool may have splashed the cash in the summer, but there are gaps in their squad that still need tending to, which includes the defence.
According to reports in Turkey, the club’s scouts have been keeping track of Galatasaray defender Wilfried Singo, who joined this summer and was part of the backline that shut out the Reds on their recent visit.
The Reds’ scouts are claimed to have attended the Turkish side’s recent 3-0 win over Ajax, where they were “impressed” by the Ivory Coast international as he played the full 90 minutes.

The 24-year-old is a versatile defender who can play at centre-back and right-back, though the majority of his senior appearances have come at wing-back on the right flank.
The report from Sabah claims Liverpool, in addition to Man United and Arsenal, have the defender on their radar for the January window – though a £52.8m release clause, for his first year, feels quite prohibitive.
With the struggles Liverpool are facing, expect the list of ‘targets’ to become longer than usual!

Liverpool FC: On this day
John Toshack, Liverpool (Peter Robinson/EMPICS Sport)
On this day in 1970, Liverpool signed John Toshack from his hometown club Cardiff City for a club record £110,000 – to think our record now is £125 MILLION.
He formed one of the club’s most-celebrated strike partnerships alongside Kevin Keegan throughout Liverpool’s dominant reign in the 1970s.
The Welshman scored 96 goals in 247 appearances, winning three League titles, two UEFA Cups and an FA Cup before returning to Wales to join Swansea as player/manager in February 1978.
