Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 29-year-old Dutch full-back Denzel Dumfries from Serie A club Inter Milan.
According to a report by reputed Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Liverpool have submitted an enquiry for Denzel Dumfries. The 29-year-old has now emerged as a target for Liverpool, especially after Jeremie Frimpong’s injury.
The Netherlands international picked up a mustcular injury during the midweek UEFA Champions League clash with Qarabag, and Liverpool are now left with no reliable right-back option. They need to bring in someone in that area of the pitch, and the Inter Milan star could prove to be the ideal acquisition.
The 29-year-old is a player with a lot of quality and experience. However, the Dutch full-back is struggling with an injury blow, and he is yet to recover fully. It will be quite surprising if Liverpool decide to sign an injured player this month. Dumfries’s other recent links have also been for the summer.
There is no doubt that the Reds need more cover in the right-back department, and they should look to bring in someone who can slot in immediately and make an instant impact. Dumfries will be tempted to join a big club like Liverpool, but he needs to get over his injury problem before he can secure a big move. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Dumfries is ready for the Premier League
The 29-year-old defender can play as a right-back or a wing-back. He can help out at both ends of the pitch. The Netherlands international will help protect the central defenders and create opportunities for the attackers in the final third.
Dumfries has shown his quality consistently at the club level and for his country. There is no doubt that he is ready for the move to the Premier League. In an ideal situation, he could prove a very useful addition to Liverpool in the short term. However, the move in January is highly unlikely because of his injury situation. Also, Inter Milan will not want to lose an important player like him in the middle of the campaign.
