Liverpool need to improve their defensive unit during the summer transfer window, and Arne Slot wants them to sign David Hancko from Feyenoord.
The 27-year-old Slovakian International has done quite well for the Dutch outfit, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition. The Liverpool manager knows the player well, and he has urged the English outfit to complete the deal, as per Fichajes.
Liverpool need defensive reinforcements, especially if Virgil van Dijk leaves the club in the summer. The Dutch International will be a free agent and he is yet to sign an extension with the club. Hancko could be a quality replacement for the Liverpool defender.
The 27-year-old defender has proven himself with club and country, and there is no doubt that he is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the world.
The Reds could provide him with the platform to showcase his qualities at a higher level and fight for trophies regularly. Liverpool are currently pushing for the league title and the Champions League. They need quality additions to sustain these levels of performance.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can secure an agreement with Feyenoord. The Dutch outfit will not want to lose the 27-year-old defender easily, and they could demand a premium for him. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool are ready to pay up.
Liverpool need a central defender
They have looked vulnerable at times defensively, and signing a quality defender will be one of their priorities, heading into the summer window. It remains to be seen whether they can get a deal done for the 27-year-old at the request of their manager.
Liverpool have shown great improvement under their new manager, and they will be hoping to improve further in the coming months. With the right additions, they could challenge for major trophies consistently.
Meanwhile, Hancko will look to establish himself as a key player for Liverpool once the transfer goes through. It will be interesting to see if he can adapt to English football quickly and make an instant impact.
