Liverpool secured the signings of Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak in the closing hours of the January transfer deadline day, bolstering their options at centre-back as a result.
Injured duo Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez could miss the rest of the campaign, while Joel Matip and Fabinho are also out injured, leaving Jordan Henderson and inexperienced duo Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips as manager Jurgen Klopp’s current options at centre-back.
Landing a new defender was pertinent, and they brought in the Turkish defender from Schalke 04 on loan for the rest of the season after snapping up Davies from Preston North End.
