Liverpool are adding to their options in the final third this summer, with Roma winger Mohamed Salah close to joining Dominic Solanke as the Reds' second signing of the window. However, the links to securing a left-back are few and far between.
Jurgen Klopp's took most by surprise last summer when he opted to use James Milner at left-back but the 31-year-old duly impressed in an unfamiliar position.
For the most part, the left-sided full-backs touted with Liverpool have been of the calibre to serve as understudy to Milner, instead of regular starter -- suggesting the Reds believe they have more pressing concerns to solve throughout their squad.
