Liverpool are keeping tabs on New York Red Bulls defender Aaron Long with a view to signing him on loan, according to reports.
The Reds have been severely hit by injuries this season and are without all of their senior centre back options. Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez both have long-term injuries and Joel Matip now faces another spell on the sidelines after damaging ankle ligaments against Tottenham.
According to ESPN, Liverpool are considering Long as a short-term option for the rest of the season.
