Liverpool are just £5m away from agreeing a transfer. It's one the Reds sorely need to make happen, too.
Liverpool are in desperate need of a new centre-back. That was apparent on Sunday in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace.
The Reds saw Ibrahima Konate go down in the first half for what ultimately turned out to be a minor eye injury. It sparked a moment of panic, however - who would come on if he had to go off?

Joe Gomez was injured and his track record there unfortunately prevents him from being a reliable option for Liverpool. Jarell Quansah, last season's other choice, has left for Bayer Leverkusen without a replacement.
So who comes on? Wataru Endo? Andy Robertson?
The squad is now short on centre-backs. Something needs to change there and thankfully, it is. Liverpool are currently pushing to sign at least one centre-back, with both Marc Guehi and Giovanni Leoni shortlisted.
Deals for both are in the works and it sounds as though one might be close.
