Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old Slovakian defender David Hancko from Arne Slot’s former club Feyenoord.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Liverpool are tracking David Hancko, and they will face competition from Chelsea and Tottenham for the signature of the 27-year-old Feyenoord defender.
The defender has previously played under Arne Slot in the past, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get the deal done. However, it is hardly surprising that the Slovak has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs.
Liverpool need to add more quality and depth through the central defensive unit, and signing David Hancko could prove to be a wise decision. The 27-year-old has shown his quality in the Eredivisie and European competitions. The Slovakian international has the quality to succeed in the Premier League, and he could be a useful player for the Reds.
Virgil van Dijk will be out of contract in the summer if he does not sight a new deal, and Liverpool are yet to agree on a new deal with him. Players like Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate have struggled with injuries.
Signing a central defender should be a top priority for Liverpool heading into the summer transfer window. The 27-year-old has the quality to improve Liverpool at the back, and the opportunity to play in the Premier League could be quite exciting for him.
Chelsea and Spurs keen on Hancko
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on the player as well. The Blues need to bring in an upgrade on players like Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi. The 27-year-old defender could be the ideal acquisition for them. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can beat their Premier League rivals and get the deal done.
As far as Tottenham are concerned, it is no secret that they need more depth in the defensive unit. They already had three reliable central defenders at their disposal and brought in Kevin Danso on loan this winter. The Austrian might return to his parent club at the end of the season, and Tottenham need to invest in another central defender. The 27-year-old would be the ideal fit for them.
The opportunity to reunite with his former manager could be quite exciting for the defender, and Liverpool might have an edge in the transfer race. It will be interesting to see where the 27-year-old ends up.
