Liverpool are looking to improve their defensive unit this summer, and they are considering a move for Charlie Cresswell from Toulouse.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Charlie Cresswell is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The 22-year-old defender has performed quite well in Ligue 1, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool in the long run. The opportunity to join the Premier League champions will be quite exciting for Cresswell. It remains to be seen whether they can bring him back to the Premier League.
Liverpool have also been linked with Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. However, he is likely to cost a substantial amount of money. The English defender has entered the final year of his contract, and Crystal Palace are under pressure to sell him. Nonetheless, they are unlikely to let him leave for a cheap fee.
Cresswell could be a younger and cheaper alternative to Guehi for Liverpool. It will be interesting to see if they can sign the imposing Ligue 1 defender, who stands at 6ft 3in tall. At 22 years old, the youngster is still quite young, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. He could develop into an important player for Liverpool with the right guidance.
Liverpool need another defender
Liverpool have excelled at grooming talented players over the years, and they could play a key role in Cresswell’s development. Liverpool need more defensive depth, and it is not surprising that they are looking at various options. Ibrahima Konate is in the final year of his contract and has not signed an extension.
In addition, Joe Gomez can be quite injury-prone. Meanwhile, Jarell Quansah has already joined Bayer Leverkusen. Signing another central defender will be one of their priorities. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can get the deal over the line.
The Reds are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and any young player would be attracted to the idea of playing for them. The 22-year-old will certainly fancy joining the Premier League champions. Regular football in the Premier League could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. Liverpool might be able to bring out the best in him in the near future.
