Liverpool are probing in their hunt for a strong Premier League finish and have now turned their attention to a defender that could arrive during the January window.
Liverpool keen to continue unbeaten run under Arne Slot
The Reds have endured a frustrating season and find themselves a way behind Arsenal and Manchester City in the title race, albeit they are unbeaten in their last ten matches across all competitions.
Arne Slot has faced his fair share of criticism this season and there are still plenty of concerns over Liverpool's style of play and whether they are getting the best out of what is a multi-million pound squad.

Either way, their goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium was a show of improvement, even if his side failed to generate a plethora of chances, something he underscored in his post-match press conference.
He said: "The only thing that missed maybe from my side, or our team, was, again, for all the ball possession, all the moments around the box you're hoping to create even more chances. But against an Arsenal team that have great momentum to put up a performance like this is something I'm positive about."
On the transfer front, defensive reinforcements are seen as a main priority this window and RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande has emerged as a key target for Liverpool as Ibrahima Konate's contract situation continues to fester.
Crystal Palace stopper Marc Guehi is also firmly on Slot's radar, and keen eyes across the country will be waiting on tenterhooks to see if he indeed completes a move to Anfield.
Intriguingly, Liverpool are unlikely to stop there amid recent developments suggesting they are now ready to mount a charge to land another defender.
Liverpool now keen to sign Jacobo Ramon
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool could now make a move for Como defender Jacobo Ramon and Chelsea are also hot on the trail of his services after an impressive start to the campaign in Italy.
The 21-year-old has proven to be one of the best young centre-backs in Europe this term, scoring twice in 17 appearances and on league duty, the former Real Madrid man has managed to come out on top in no less than 92 duels, per Fotmob.

Liverpool have set their sights on one of Europe's most coveted young wingers.
Watched by Liverpool since December, Ramon has also attracted interest from the likes of Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace, though any successful party will have work to do before a deal can be pushed over the line.
Formerly of Real Madrid, his contract at Como contains a £6.9 million buyback clause. Meanwhile, Los Blancos also retain a 50% sell-on regarding his next move, illustrating the level of control they have over his future. He is valued at around £15.6 million by Como.
Labelled "powerful" by Carlo Ancelotti, he is someone who could feasibly become a mainstay at Anfield for years to come, but it remains to be seen whether Slot and FSG can push a deal over the line.
