Liverpool want to reinforce their central defense during the summer transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp has said the position is more difficult at Liverpool than other Premier League clubs due to their aggressive counter-pressing.

“If you defend deep then you have a lot of legs and help around, that’s how it is. The first goal last week, this is not an excuse, but it can happen with a misjudgment and a counterattack. A center-half for a top team is playing with a lot of space at the back. That’s how Tottenham act, how City act and sometimes how Arsenal act. Manchester United are for sure a bit different," said Klopp.

“You have to involve a lot of players in offensive things usually, you cannot be offensive with just two players in a counterattack when there are already eight from the other team in their own half or box. So of course it is more difficult. If we go for a centre-half we need to know how he acts in big spaces, but on the other side centre-halves can feel pretty alone in certain moments if we don’t react the right way after losing the ball. That is why counter-pressing is a pretty useful skill.”
