Liverpool lineup Germany’s most promising centre back

Whilst the team are currently flourishing under the guidance of their German manager, it hasn’t stopped a plethora of Europes most promising talent from being linked with the Merseysiders this coming transfer window.

Attackers Azmoun and Marsha have been heavily tipped to bolster Klopp’s forward line with Sadio Mane featuring in the up and coming African Cup of Nations, now various media outlets have tipped Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah to plug Liverpools somewhat leaky backline.

 

Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren currently hold fort for the Anfield side. However with the Croation part of the duo still looking good for a rick, as well as the possibly departing Sakho and Lucas, not to mention Ragnar Klavan, providing the only backup, the young German international is considered a prime target for a side who have serious Champions League ambitions.

Still just 20 years of age, Tah has made 38 appearances for the Bundesliga giants since signing from Hamburger SV in July 2015.

Being 6’3, the centre-half possesses a physical presence capable of handling the Premier Leagues physicality. Not only that, Tah has been earning rave reviews for the technical aspects of his game as well.

A skill set that has earned him accolades from Bayer’s Sporting Director, and the man that negotiated his £7m fee, Rudi Vollar.

Talking about his recruit a year prior, Voller commented; “Jonathan belongs to a new generation of centre-backs who are very good footballers,”
